Dear 2L,

I don’t like to ask any of you directly about how the job-search is going. I don’t know whether you have an offer and feel good about things, or, like most, feel discouraged and not sure what to do next.

I remember there being a pall over my entire class that 2L fall. There was uneasiness in the air, as we were no longer “all in the same boat,” the way we were when we bonded during early 1L days.

📧 Dear 2L,

Facing the broad array of extracurriculars you might pursue this year can be dizzying. How to make sense of them all and find what works best for you?

Here are some thoughts.

Dear 2L,

I don’t know how often I’ll write to you specifically this way, but I do know this:  You are my original gang.

▫️ I started posting last fall. You started law school.

▫️ I felt out of my league—an imposter.  You had your moments, too.

▫️ I tried to figure out this thing called LinkedIn. You did that about law school.
