graduating student who wants specific gift. any insight??

The Bill and Zoe segment on today’s pod was worth listening to. Yes, a lot of the stuff Zoe was talking about was ridiculous, but they have such a great relationship.

I loved when Zoe was talking about all these young people who accomplished things and Bill goes “you’re doing great. I’m so proud.” Then they spoke about the 21st birthday and drinking together and growing up.

So much of culture now, especially podcasts about sports like fun at things and are mean spirited. But Bill doesn’t really do that, he has his daughter on and they laugh together.

Idk, I’ve been listening and reading to Bill on and off for years. The humor has always been there, and the sincerity is there too

Doing a rewatch of random episodes throughout the show. A thought I had. There doesn’t seem to be many episodes in which Jim and Pam are together and in a relationship and in person.

Think about it.

All of S1-s3 it’s the will they or won’t they. They finally start dating in season 4. Then in season 5 Pam goes to art school.

Then she comes back but then she is with the Michael Scott paper company.

Season 6 and season 7, I guess relatively?

But then you have the athlead drama and the weird video guy stuff in the latter 2 seasons. (Though full disclosure have not watched those in years bc I’m a Michael purist).

Any thoughts here?

Edit: since I guess wasn’t clear, places like Littler or fisher Philips

How soon in my career can I do this? I like employment law but obviously would love to do it at a higher salary + more prestigious cases and work. What steps can I take to do this as a junior? Is this attainable? Am I just being naive? Is it biz dev or are there certain types of work I should seek out?

Does this mean he is doing tropic thunder?? Tate seemed to hint he was going to be on rewatchables during tailgate today

Edit: not totally sure of my goals. I came to law school wanting to do admin/regulatory stuff but that didn’t really pan out. I know I’d like to continue doing litigation, I’d love to obviously be a partner and make money, and I also love appellate work… (I know some of that might not be attainable but…)

I have been connected with a magistrate judge for a potential clerkship opportunity next fall (after 1 year of work). (i'm not going into details but was basically told, if I'm interested, it's there). It is not in SDNY/NDCA but in a ~ major ~ American city. my understanding is that the mag judge has a substantial criminal docket and takes the lead on employment cases.

I graduate law school this year. I'm satisfied with my job. It's a lower level Amlaw 100 speciality firm which I like, in a city I wanted and i'll be reunited with my partner after long distance. But I also really enjoy regulatory/admin law work. Also of note, the city of my job and clerkship are in different places.

I have above average grades from a T-30 (really turned it around after 1L fall), so i'm not sure an article III clerkship is in the cards.

But I think I'd love clerking. i did an internship with an article III judge and loved it. I loved the vibes, the research and the writing. very much a nerd in this way.

I'm also an older law student — think later 20s/early 30s.

So I'm asking:

• Would you do the mag clerkship?
• What should I view as the deciding factor in my decision?
• Are mag judges really that looked down upon even though the work is substantively the same?
• is there anyway I could pivot to doing the admin/regulatory work I wanted? Or would I have to do another clerkship?
• Am I too old to clerk? Or rather, too old to clerk for the magistrate judge?

thanks for your help

1 edit: for timing of clerkship

hello?!?!? what is going on??? i've just started going through and it seems like they have no videos about Ucc remedies unless i am missing something? feel like UCC remedies are a huge part of the exam?!?

It’s a history of regulation in the United States through biographies of different figures – Louis Brandeis, Alfred Kahn, and others.

Anyone read it? Have checked it out ur haven’t dove in yet because I’m wondering if it’s too academic

The guy made me want the wolves to win. His writing is amazing. And also i love how fun Ant is. Go wolves!

Also, omg love that he has his own flair here. Y’all are so lucky!

Super interesting for any fellow Foner/reconstruction nerds out there
