What should you do when being “practice-ready” just isn’t enough to land you a job? It’s a rather universal complaint among law students, that law school often doesn’t prepare us for the realities of the legal sector. In an attempt to remedy this, law schools these days are trying to incorporate more practical experience into their curriculum.
But, really, they can only do so much. As promised (and mentioned) in a recent post where we summarized the findings of a law professor, who claimed that the ideas behind being a practice-ready law graduate were a fantasy; here are some tips to work within this rather crappy job market, where no one is knocking down your door to offer you a job.
