I would have turned that downTurned down corporate summer this summer for a Fellowship in NYC/NJ, I'll see how things pan out.
Might regret not getting that few extra $2-3k this summer, but this work should be invaluable.
Trying to decide what direction I want to go in: those DOJ salaries and certain PI post-grad fellowships aren't as pitiful salary-wise as I'd imagined, neither are Federal Clerkships (gunning for one now, happen to go to a school w/ one of the highest SCOTUS Clerk feeder judges, but he's FedSoc so...), but I want that instant middle-class salary that comes with BigLaw.
Not sure my direction yet, need to do as well in every other class as I did in Torts, cum laude or higher for the culture
but thats just me

Black legal aid lawyer says officer detained him after mistaking him for suspect in court
Have any of y'all have this happen to you before? I always make sure to carry my bar card when I go to court (it's just in my wallet so it ain't going anywhere anyway, but still). This is the biggest concern I'd have when going to some of these rural counties. They never see a black attorney and just assume you're a criminal defendant or some shyt. I have to go to a rural county court next week, they better not try this shyt with me.
