It is important to be aware of the potential pitfalls associated with representing corporate officers and employees.

Chief Legal Officer Bob Carpenter is in the hot seat this week! I have the pleasure of supporting our Legal/Compliance teams at Cincinnati Children's and these girls did a great job interviewing another key leader in our organization. Check out the latest High Five episode!

This was a very fun presentation - all the 3Ls had such good energy (especially for a Friday before Spring Break!!). Thanks for hosting us, Alice and Lewis & Clark Law School! One great question we got: "If I'm working and won't be available to start a new job before December, when should I start looking?" Don't waste time applying to open job postings you won't be able to start for months - very few, if any, employers will wait when they have a current need. If you're actively available (for example, you've passed your licensure, finished your externship, made the move, etc.) then you can be actively applying for posted jobs. However, don't discount the power of using the time when you are not quite ready to start to set yourself up for success! Network, schedule informational interviews, go to events, do research, get your materials and LinkedIn in order, follow recruiters, etc. so that when you're ready, your search will feel like it has good momentum (and a much more human connection) already.

I love going back to my alma matter Vanderbilt University Law School to recruit some of the the best law students in the country! A couple of words of wisdom that I share with current Vandy law students: 1. Make time to know your classmates. Law school is tough, but say yes to Bar Review, Blackacre, intramurals, and the tailgates. Our law school class is small for a reason. I love that my co-counsel for a major DOJ investigation I recently handled were the guys I played softball and went to Bar Review with. 2. Learn the Saturday night set list for the Stage/Winners/Tin Roof. It's a lot more fun to hit the honky tonks when you can sing along! 3. Remember your legal career isn't linear and there are different paths to achieve your goals.

Looking forward to this conversation at Fordham University School of Law about Professor Solangel Maldonado’s critically important new book, The Architecture of Desire (NYU Press).
