What? An intern is essentially a mini-paralegal. You have no license and no method of being able to practice under supervision.

You pretty much have to take a "paper push" job at a firm or law office. Remember, you can't write papers, you can't go on the record at all, you can't appear under supervision, nada.

You could prep certain kind of more simplistic, "volume" paperwork as long as you didn't sign off on them, I suppose, but I personally would not use an intern in such a fashion unless I had known them for a while and trusted their ability. Quite honestly, the interns I've had, while helpful, have commonly cost me MORE time while I correct their work than I really would spend if I did it myself.

Now, with that said, you could find yourself in a paralegal type gig where you do learn quite a bit if you are proactive and keep your eyes open. Try a smaller firm or a public assistance/public law organization, like a local District Attorney. They're usually looking for any and all kinds of help.

Ah, JT's old stomping ground. Don't worry C&Pers - just head downstairs, hit up some Manchu Wok, maybe grab a latte, and all will be well.

Nervous 1L,

Are you top 5%? If so, you should change your name to "will get an offer even if he goes into an OCI butt naked and puts his dick on the table" 2L.

Otherwise, change it to "I'm f**ked!" 2L.

Some broad from UNC Law once told JT that she wouldn't sleep with him. Two seconds later she was all like "sike!" JT never called.

Law students...complaining about having to earn something? You don't say! Yes, you'll have to lay off the booze and the weed this summer and actually produce a workable memo once or twice. Oh...god no!

The Bar really isn't all that hard. The NY essays were cake; NJ's essays were even easier. You can easily anticipate 6 or more of the 10+ issues they ask you about.

The MPT literally requires no preparation if the following is true: (1) you can read and write in English and (2) at any point during law school, you figured out how to argue persuasively.

The MBE is the only part of the exam that is even remotely difficult, and that is only due to the wildly nonsensical answers. However, you can almost always exclude two answers on an MBE question.

All in all, you'll be fine. There is nothing to panic about.

JT finished the morning portion of essay day 55 minutes early after going back and editing JT's essay for about 30 minutes.

Girl next to JT also thought JT failed. JT advised her that the bar just happened to be easy as hell.

She's not a lawyer until she passes the bar, but I don't care if she refers to herself as one or not.
