Michigan Law Tells Its 3Ls They’re Screwed; Offers Counseling

While there are students enjoying the good life as summer associates, many rising 3Ls are staring into the abyss of entering 3L recruiting without a post-graduate job lined up. At Michigan Law, the school’s office of career services is preparing its students for just how abysmal the abyss is going to be:

"As you look at the employers coming to campus to interview 3Ls, some of you may be feeling quite frustrated at the number of employers willing to interview you as a 3L when there were far more willing to interview you when you were a 2L. Unfortunately, in the next few weeks there may be even more firms that cancel or reduce the number of interview slots they want reserved for 3Ls."

It doesn't get much happier, either.

That mentality of interviewers coming to campus makes me chuckle a bit. If I was in their shoes, I'd be attacking every law firm, not waiting for them to come to me.

It reminds me of something I once read about a Harvard MBA candidate who complained that she couldn't get a job with a fast-moving startup company because none of them came to campus for interviews.

LOL

Yeah I don't get why students aren't more proactive. It's nice to have firms come to campus, but you should rely on them exclusively.
