Yeah, it’s one of those weird things that people are telling me I “should” do, even after I mention that I’m concentrating on corporate and that I can’t see it doing me much good. And I really have no interest in taking things like fedjur or admin law, or feeling pressure to build up relationships with profs for the purpose of getting some recs.
If you want to do corporate, I’m pretty sure a clerkship is even less relevant. Just load up on transactional classes. And fuck Fed Courts and Admin. (Seriously, the idea of taking admin makes me want to jab a spork in my eye; I’ve heard nothing but awful things about that class)
Also, I realized the topic I wanted to use for my Chapter 11 paper was aimed at the MBA students in the class, so now I have to pick a new topic . Fail.
My God, you’re lucky your school doesn’t require that one. QUICK, SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE APA TO ME BEFORE MY FINAL. CHEVRON STEP ZERO? AGENCY FINDINGS OF FACT? ARBITRARY AND CAPRICIOUS REVIEW? WTF?
Four real classes, ugh. Why couldn’t I have feigned interest in those basketweaving and the law courses?
In terms of studying, I felt like I wasted 1 or 2 days every week in 1L. Now I feel like I’m wasting every single day as a 2L. I fail miserably every day!
