DDC/SDNY/EDNY tier. Got the interview through a mutual contact at my firm. I’m a third year in BL. I do want to clerk. I’m just not sure if doing it for a magistrate judge is worth it?
Please help me find a strap for this bag!! The medium size comes with a strap but mini doesn’t, so annoying!
Surely I have something to offer after five years litigating in BigLaw? I applied to 20ish positions through OSCAR for 2027-2028 terms and have heard nothing back. Went to a T6, great letters of recommendation, strong cover letter, etc. I don’t get what I’m doing wrong to be beat out by Class of 2027 law school grads?
33F. I feel like I have literally two friends who live in different states. I don’t see anyone really besides some local folks/neighbors and my partner. I occasionally text/DM friends from college / law school but that’s about it.
When I see big groups of friends hanging out, I do feel a bit lonely.
Is this normal? Is it the job? Or am I the problem?
Senior associate trying to do a first clerkship next year. I applied to a few federal judges but haven’t heard anything back - it’s been a few weeks. What’s the time line for this?
1900 requirement. 6th year. Well liked and have hit my hours every other year (4 years at current firm). But there’s just no shot I can make hours this year after a few big cases settled and it took a few months to ramp up again.
Looking for a small summer/travel bag and thinking about one of the two here. I’m a 31 yr old female if that matters. Thoughts?
Struggled with weight my whole life. Grew up with a mom who was (is) obsessed with body image because of her own mother who was immobile from obesity.
My mom started saying I was fat when I was 9. It was non stop after that, pinching my fat even when I was 115 pounds at 5’3” and working out obsessively with an eating disorder.
Unsurprisingly, I have a strange relationship with food. I spent years 9-18 not working out at all and reached 190 pounds. I then started obsessively working out / restrictive eating from 18-26.
I stopped working out after COVID, gained a bunch of weight back, and now am 170 pounds at 32 years old. But I’m very active (heavy lifting 4x week and 50 mins cardio 2x week with 10K steps everyday). I track calories everyday and eat less than 1500 usually. It fucking sucks when I see moms who look better than me, despite not working out at all.
It makes so mad that I can’t stop binge eating once a month or so. I just eat and eat and eat and it almost feels like “revenge” or like a “might as well eat my weight” f u moment? I don’t get it. What is wrong with me? Will I ever just be HEALTHY?
Do I have a shot at a federal court clerkship as a sixth year associate? Went to a T6 school and have spent my whole career so far as a litigator in BigLaw.
Interested in associate experiences. I’ve been to court hearings (other than routine scheduling conferences) maybe 15 times over the last five years. Feels really light in terms of actual court room exposure for a litigator but maybe this is common? My practice is IP and at a V50 if that matters.
And at what point are you arguing motions in court? Partner?
