Accepted a job offer to move in house. 
No more billable hours.
No more billable hours.
Decided to hail-mary some OCIs.
Have 5 interviews next week, had two this week, and got a Congressional job offer this afternoon.
Things are going swimmingly, but I don't want to jump the gun and accept some offer now when some of the labor firms I was gunning for start their SA + offer process and the professor I'm researching for hooks me up with her friends who have an appellate boutique.

It really is like that, especially with all of the Fall OCIs, and the new student programming. It'll be December before you know it.Fall semester 1L was the slowest semester of my life. Everyday was a drag.
Fall semester 2L is flying by fast as fukk
Sitting on two job offers, waiting for the rest of my rejections from OCIs; the wait is killing me.
Am going to be doing Fall and Spring work w/ a small boutique that does a shyt ton of appellate work, if nothing else labor comes through (MLB Players Assoc. and a few DC/NYC labor places have me on their radar), I'll just end up going with them.
May take Fed Courts and gun to see if I can graduate at least cum laude and clerk after a year or so of practice.

Good luck brother.
Go for the clerkship. Not enough of us on in the federal courts

Yeah definitely clerk if you can. Not a single person I know who has clerked has said they regretted it. I tried out the clerk route but didn't get it, but wished I did. Still ended up ok for me, but I know people that have set themselves up for a long ass time because of that clerkship on their resume. Especially if it is with the right judge.

Man working in house, and working on cases all around the country, I really need to work on my outside counsel base. I barely know any other attorneys outside of my region. Gonna have to go to these conferences and shyt to find some other (black) outside counsels out there.

For anyone reading this thread I clerked on the federal court of appeals a few years back. I’m willing to answer questions and give advice. I’d be a little more specific on details but there are so few black males with that clerk that I’m immediately outable.

Good to see everyone making moves. Seems like most of you guys do/will do litigation work, which is funny because I did it when I first got out of school and HATED it lol
Anyone doing anything outside of the box at all as far as a niche area of practice/specific kinds of cases?
