Hottest Law Librarians: Please Send Us Your Nominations
Yesterday we announced our next hotties contest here at Above the Law: Law Librarians!!!
If there's a hot legal librarian that you'd like to nominate, we are now accepting your submissions. To learn about how to make a nomination, please click here.
Since we announced the contest yesterday, nominees have been rolling in like book carts. We think you'll be quite impressed by the final slates of candidates.
We did want to clarify one thing about the contest. It is open to ALL attractive law librarians -- whether they're at law schools, private law firms, courthouses, or any other law-related workplace. There was some language in the original post, since removed, that erroneously indicated that the contest was restricted to "law school librarians." This is NOT the case.
As for how the language wound up there, it was through careless cutting and pasting. Just like transactional lawyers, we bloggers rely upon "precedents" -- past documents that we adapt or crib from to make new ones. For the post announcing the law librarian hotties contest, we lifted some boilerplate from our prior contest for hot law school deans. We removed the word "dean," but we accidentally left in the word "school."
Hence the confusion, for which we apologize. Consider this a cautionary tale about the perils of ctrl-C, ctrl-V.

What about my idea for a hottest unemployed tier 2/3/4 grad contest?
Loyola 2L
Maybe Lat could just ban the word "Loyola" from the blog? Nobody of consequence would miss it anyway...
I didn't even know there was a tier 14. If that guy could get a job, L2L has no excuse.
See, when other people do it, it's called plagiarism, but when lawyers do it, it's called precedent.
We would just start posting as Cardozo 2L or Seton Hall 2L. You can ban the name but are you proposing a ban on anything related the plight of tier 2 grads?
I say we ban a discussion of the plight of Tier 2 grads until we can have a discussion of the poor Tier 14 grads.
Is a Tier 14 law degree the little fold-out you get when you buy the DVD set for Matlock?
I don't know why everyone gives me such a hard time. I really just came to this board to seek advice about getting a job. I've sent so many resumes and still have not landed a summer position. I just wish someone could give me some constructive advice.
Loyola2L,
seriously - you want advice? work your ass off your 2L & 3L years, become top 10% and get the job you want. And no, being top 25% does not make you a bad student -- it actually makes you a good one, which means you have what it takes, just not spending enough time/effort getting it. Unfortunately, your grades are not good enough to get a biglaw job. In a perfect world -- they would be. But in the real world, there are too many loyola 2Ls, seton hall 2ls, etc. applying for big law jobs and relatively few slots available. Further, these applicants have to find a way to differentiate themselves from each other (and you clearly haven't), and this is a lot easier to do when you're at the top of the class. So, for the last time -- if you want constructive advice how to get a biglaw job -- get your grades up. If you just want to complain to someone about your life -- get a therapist, or a very good friend who likes you enough to listen to that crap over and over again. The people on this board are neither, so spare us.
Lat could start banning IP addresses. Go back to your xoxo cesspool
1. I didn't post the above messages.
2. My school isn't a cesspool.
There IS a Tier 14! And those of us foolish enough to attend such a worthless sewer look upon the employment prospects of someone at such a (relatively) vaunted institution as L#$*!@ with awe and humility.
Of course, I still have a job and he doesn't. That cuts into the awe.
I'm a 2L who made a few Cs but with a B average the first year. I've been told that if I make a strong comeback during the second year, I can still get a biglaw job by interviewing as a 3L. I'm curious if anyone knows anyone that has made such a comeback their 2L year and can speak on this. Thanks.
