Dear 1L, Big Law opens its portals Nov. 1!

(That’s for 𝟐𝐋 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 jobs; yes, it is nuts).

👉 And it means you’ve got FIVE urgent tasks.

1- Update and perfect your resume. (Yes, it really needs to be “perfect.”)

2- Complete & improve your LinkedIn profile. (That’s the FIRST place firms will look you up: Don’t be underwhelming.)

3- Research firms, figure out what they do, and decide where to apply.
 
4- Decide what YOU generally want to do. (Transactional? Litigation? Something else?)

5- Start networking!!! (Many of your classmates have already been doing this.)

In October, I’ll be sending out a series of emails containing my best advice for 2025-26 on all these topics—with letters going out as soon as THIS week.

But you have to be signed up to receive them, or you’ll miss out.
