Into the great wide open

Now that bar review is over, we enter the home stretch to the Exam with less than two weeks to go. This is scary for two reasons. First, I don’t feel like I have a handle on vastly large areas of the law (NY practice, torts, criminal law, commercial paper. Actually, make that every area except for contracts and Constitutional law.)
But the big reason is that after the exam, I have to face the gaping void that are my employment plans. Despite the reassurances from family, friends and faculty who didn’t get their first legal jobs until after taking the Bar, I’m very worried about what’s out there and whether I will even be a realistically competitive candidate for any interesting jobs.
And then of course, comes the question of whether having a somewhat inane self-titled web page is a good thing in a job search, but that is the subject of its own upcoming post…
