PI. Specifically interested in immigration law (including refugee/asylum law as well as crimmigration) but I am interested in pretty much all social and civil rights issues so who knows. Maybe PD.RParadela wrote:Curious, what and where are all of your career goals? I feel like there's a lot of PI folks in this class for whatever reason

PI over here but I haven't honed in on an exact area yet. I recently started looking a lot into public PI (thanks tomwatts if you're reading!!!) and this might be my sweet spot if I could end up in one of these firms. I'd prefer to stay in Boston but will move wherever if I can get my dream job elsewhere.RParadela wrote:Curious, what and where are all of your career goals?

Dream job would be GC for a sports league or team (and yes I realize this is damn near impossible). But who knows how I'll feel about things after a year or two of lawl school.

It's probably not impossible to work that angle (though he also worked super long hours for no money)

My dad is GC of a (insert NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL here) team. He talks to a lot of young lawyers who want to do that sort of work. He is a great lawyer I am sure, but has told everyone to never let that sort of thing define your goals. He definitely got lucky knowing the right people to get that sort of interview.Dr.Degrees_Cr.Cash wrote:Girlfriend's dad is gc/president of a minor league.

I want PI/govt, but varied interests within that umbrella.
I'd want unicorn impact lit where I can constantly sue the govt if I lucked into it.
Definitely want to explore criminal law more since I'm driven by ~justice~. I was thinking prosecution, but am also really interested in post conviction and innocence project clinics so I also think what prosecutors do is unjust a lot of the time. So I definitely have some PD tendencies, even though I'd probably be most into working on behalf of defendants at a higher level than initial intake into the criminal justice system.
I was at an asw recently and one of the main PI-oriented profs said during the panel something along the lines of "Public Interest Lawyers usually aren't exclusively into just one single issue" when she discussed how she went to law school intending to do X and ended up doing Y upon graduation. So I could really see myself doing anything as long as I'm passionate and feel like I'm fighting the good fight and making a difference.

Anybody else into "Better Call Saul"?
I have reached new lows of Not giving a fuck at work and just binged the entire 1st season.
It's really good, I like that they don't try too lean heavily on working as a lawyer so much as general representation and reccomendation

+1000. This whole paragraph makes me feel so much more not alone. It seems like a lot of other PI people are really passionate about one specific thing.Rigo wrote:

Better call Saul is amazing. The new season just started last week but I haven't been able to see the first 2 episodes yet. I'm guessing you watched breaking bad also?Dr.Degrees_Cr.Cash wrote:Anybody else into "Better Call Saul"?

PI here too. Criminal law, very set against OCI. No particular long-term location goal.RParadela wrote:Curious, what and where are all of your career goals? I feel like there's a lot of PI folks in this class for whatever reason
This is me too. I'm prosecution-leaning due to my WE but going to go into school open to exploring the rest of the PI sphere.

Yeah, this is great to hear. It is what I assumed initially, but as ash said, it really seemed like a lot of people have an issue already. Probably just they are more vocal or better able to articulate it. I have interests, but I am pretty comfortable saying idk where I'm going to end up and I'm excited about that. let's see what comes.ashrice13 wrote:+1000.

I mean, on the side of completing day-to-day billable work. I know that a lot of firms count pro bono work into billable hours but from my (admittedly little experience and only on immigration pro bono work) - pro bono can be difficult and time-consuming since it's generally outside one's main focuses of practice.guybourdin wrote:What do you mean "on the side"?

I'm a really big social justice advocate (not an actual organizer - but involved enough to be called an activist by some) and I'm wondering how that'd work on when working much longer hours that I do now (and when I'm trying to advance in a profession).
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
