Date: February 8th, 2010 8:46 AM Author: Know-it-all 180 dragon well hopefully you've done something over the past year since OCI to help distinguish you from other applicants. you could have a publications or writing section (some people include unpublished works there; it's up to you--i included a paper i was developing for publication that was not ready to be submitted yet), more pro bono work, and more extensive involvement in your journal and a student group (or groups).
you might also add back in things you cut the first time around because law firms don't care... things like writing for your student newspaper (judges love this kind of thing). |
