Date: September 7th, 2010 7:17 PM Author: cerebral hospital pozpig dood. did you know you were in the bottom half of submissions? how does that make you feel? getting YLJ is generally a cinch if you can write. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1416888&forum_id=2#15989393) |

Date: September 7th, 2010 7:39 PM Author: lavender clown yea I know. I should have worked longer than 6 hours on it I guess. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1416888&forum_id=2#15989574) |

Date: September 7th, 2010 7:40 PM Author: cerebral hospital pozpig what's the mood like among the new Yale Law & Policy Review staff members? still bitter about being rejected by YLJ? these are people used to doing the most prestigious things all their lives, so it must sting like a bitch.

Date: September 7th, 2010 7:40 PM Author: lavender clown i'm not on that journal.
what really sucks is that even YLJ was walk-on not too long ago. |
|
Date: September 7th, 2010 7:42 PM Author: cerebral hospital pozpig what's the mood like on your journal then? is YL&PR a write-on competition too? did you fail that one as well? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1416888&forum_id=2#15989605) |
|
Date: September 7th, 2010 7:43 PM Author: lavender clown all journals except YLJ are walk-on.
but you're not YLS, so you can't help answer my question. thanks anyways. |
|
Date: September 7th, 2010 7:45 PM Author: cerebral hospital pozpig anyway, as long as you have 75%+ Hs you should be fine for appellate clerkships regardless of a TTT journal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1416888&forum_id=2#15989644) |

Date: September 7th, 2010 7:49 PM Author: cerebral hospital pozpig PROTIP: look at previous mastheads of your journal and google names of previous members + "yale law" ----you can often check out tons of firm bios which will list what clerkships people got.

Date: September 7th, 2010 8:09 PM Author: wine diverse stage My understanding is that you can still get on YLJ easily next year, but no executive position. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1416888&forum_id=2#15989829) |
|
Date: September 7th, 2010 8:10 PM Author: lavender clown That's what I thought too, but upon further inspection it seems like we have another shot in the spring that is just a bluebooking competition (but they only take like 3 or 4 kids) or you can "note-on" but that's tough to do too since tons of people are competing (and at this point I'm convinced my writing is perceived to be pretty shitty, at least when it's graded by other students).
I'm probably still going to do both of these, I'm just not expecting to get on still. Just was wondering how the lack of YLJ will likely affect clerkship opps. |

Date: September 7th, 2010 8:12 PM Author: wine diverse stage If you want academia putting in the 20 hours of effort to get on the journal might be worth it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1416888&forum_id=2#15989851) |
|
Date: September 7th, 2010 8:14 PM Author: lavender clown Definitely putting in the effort on it. Don't care too much about academia (maybe down the line but probably not b/c I think I already lack the credentials), just clerkships.

|
Date: September 7th, 2010 8:16 PM Author: lavender clown yea I'd just like to do one for experience and a year or two before going to a firm (at least Dist. Ct., and maybe COA after). I'd really like to get SDNY/EDNY. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1416888&forum_id=2#15989884) |

Date: September 7th, 2010 8:18 PM Author: wine diverse stage make sure you get your otter wrapped up. There are clerks out in the cold and a good otter is nice and warm. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1416888&forum_id=2#15989901) |
|
Date: September 7th, 2010 8:20 PM Author: lavender clown it's at a firm that requires everyone to clerk first, if they want to clerk, and the firm didn't have any layoffs, etc. but yea, that's a concern. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1416888&forum_id=2#15989924) |

|
Date: September 7th, 2010 8:02 PM Author: lavender clown It's more about location. I have no idea what the least prestigious thing I'd do is - I'm not going to do state stuff. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1416888&forum_id=2#15989785) |

Date: September 7th, 2010 8:06 PM Author: lavender clown I don't see the point. I am a transfer from a higher T14 and I have good grades as is (top 5% at a T6), and I have an offer from a really good firm. I want to clerk but only federal, and really I think Dist. Ct. is more appealing because of my interest in litigation - I would do COA after Dist. Ct. mainly because of the prestige factor.
