|
Date: April 3rd, 2006 11:40 PM Author: Twisted Candlestick Maker School Some good courses for people interested in corporate practice are Corporations, Tax, Bankruptcy, Securities Regulation, maybe Secured Transactions, a drafting class if it's available. Obviously not all at the same time, or you'd shoot yourself.

Date: April 3rd, 2006 11:42 PM Author: chest-beating abode sounds good. i was thinking corporations, antitrust, professional ethics, negotiation, and something easy (history of law maybe). fed ax i know i need to take but i think that would be too much this semester.

|
Date: April 3rd, 2006 11:44 PM Author: Twisted Candlestick Maker School Those are all good ones - a class that's probably required, a couple that are good for practice, and an easy one - sounds ilke a good mix. I'd agree that it's best to balance out the hard classes a bit. It's probably good to take corps as soon as possible, so you won't run into prerequisites if you want to take other corporate classes down the line.

Date: April 3rd, 2006 11:52 PM Author: Twisted Candlestick Maker School Yeah, it's smart to get the basic stuff out of the way.

Date: April 4th, 2006 12:18 AM Author: Thriller mad cow disease Im assuming you are at harvard, so here is the breakdown for you:
Take Corps with Subramanian. Take M&A with Strine Take Tax with Abreu or Kaplow (if he is giving it) Take Con law with Parker because he cares the least about boring shitty doctrine Take Sec REg in the winter term with Ferrell (Scot sucks ass, avoid him at all costs). Take analytical methods in the spring when the profs teach it all together.
At some point try to work in: Bankruptcy with Warren, secured trasactions, corporate finance, Antitrust, and the other corporate classes. If you are into governance and that crap there are all sorts of seminars on that topic.

|
Date: April 3rd, 2006 11:48 PM Author: Twisted Candlestick Maker School Because I didn't think I'd be qualified for anything in the city where I planned on working after graduation or maybe even in the city where I was living, and didn't want to get stuck in some random place for a year. It's not like an average district court clerkship is a huge resume builder for a corporate lawyer anyway. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=393470&forum_id=2#5507089) |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2006 11:50 PM Author: jet mad-dog skullcap what do you mean not qualified? aren't all harvard JDs pretty much qualified for most fellowships and clerkships?
how about a federal clerkship? would you not have been in the running for them? |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2006 11:52 PM Author: Twisted Candlestick Maker School I think most Harvard JDs can get *a* clerkship. We're not all equally competitive for the popular ones.
District court clerkship = federal clerkship. I would have been competitive for some, but probably not for ones in major cities. I doubt I would have been competitive for an appellate one. |

|
Date: April 3rd, 2006 11:58 PM Author: Twisted Candlestick Maker School I don't really get bossed around by investment bankers. I get directions from senior attorneys and from in-house counsel.
If you don't like being at the whim of those who are younger or less educated than you, any service profession is going to be a struggle though. |

|
Date: April 4th, 2006 12:06 AM Author: spectacular henna people who are hurt station Do you mean can't count?
In my experience, the young attorneys that are unhappy are the ones who went to law school not really knowing what the hell they were getting into. They knew nothing about the law, had never worked a day in their lives, but the concept of having a 125k job at 25 was appealing. Most people that knew what they are getting into and actually enjoy the law seem to be quite content with their jobs. |
