How To Prepare for A High Stakes MPRE
0 Comments/in Law School, MPREHow To Prepare for A High Stakes MPRE
For some students, there isn’t a lot of pressure when they take the MPRE because they can simply re-take it in 3-5 months (depending on what administration they originally took the MPRE). However, for others, the MPRE is “high stakes”. For instance, if your jurisdiction requires you to pass the MPRE before you can take the bar exam, or if you have already passed the bar exam and the MPRE is the final hurdle to becoming a licensed attorney, then it is a “high stakes” exam! It is also high stakes if you are taking the MPRE because you have been disciplined by your state authority — it will look much better if you pass the MPRE the first time you take it in that case. In this post, we provide tips for studying for a “high stakes” MPRE!

0 Comments/in Law School3 Tips on How to Be the Best Summer Associate
3 Tips on How to Be the Best Summer Associate: You did it! You worked tirelessly your 1L year and earned stellar grades. Those grades landed you OCIs. And, after rigorous screener interviews and callbacks, you secured your dream summer associate position. Time to kick back, relax, and enjoy the spoils of your victory.
WRONG!
Take a little time to celebrate and reward yourself for a job well done. Have a nice dinner, order extra dessert, and buy that little luxury item you told yourself you’d buy if you landed a summer associate position. But keep your eye on the real prize. You want to receive a full-time job offer at the end of your summer associate position following your 2L year. Moreover, for many high achievers, it’s not just about getting a full-time job offer. Rather, it’s also about making a name for yourself that summer. Ultimately, you want to set yourself up for a long career of success and accomplishments. So, how do you stand out? How do you be the best summer associate? Follow these 3 tips and you will be well on your way to being a shining star!

3 OCI Mistakes That Could Cost You!
0 Comments/in Law School3 OCI Mistakes That Could Cost You!
3 OCI Mistakes That Could Cost You!: For many law students, securing on-campus interviews (“OCIs”) is the whole point of working tirelessly throughout 1L year. Some see OCIs as even the most pivotal part of law school! If you can land an OCI with a top firm and then land an offer, you have set yourself up for success after law school.
Many good firms that recruit a summer associate class at OCIs extend full-time job offers to them! Remember, firms compete with each other too. And, the firm with a 100% offer rate to their summer associates is seen as a much more desirable firm than the one with a 75% offer rate. So, the student who gets recruited at the end of OCI season can usually breathe a sigh of relief for the remaining two years of law school because the odds are that he will receive a job offer at the end of the summer after 2L year. This is very different from the student struggling to juggle job applications throughout 3L year while gearing up to study for the bar exam and worrying about financial security post-law school all at the same time!
