Sherman & Howard L.L.C.’s Post

Was just hanging out with my neighbor who works in legal #recruiting. She's had a long, illustrious career recruiting for the world's white shoe law firms. Essentially she recruits from the top 10 schools for the top 10 firms. She 'fits a round peg in a round hole'--her words. I'm not disparaging that; no one is meant to be going under the bus here. The statement just stuck in my head. For two reasons. (1) What's the actual monetary value (to the firm at least) in ferrying a graduating 3L from Cambridge to K street? (2) The round peg/round hole thing struck me because so much of effective counsel, the core parts of advocacy--is finding clever, novel, and hopefully legal ways to do exactly the opposite of that. It's how to solve problems that aren't already reduced to their axioms. That aren't empirically simple or solvable on their face. I don't know, I don't know... 👾 I can also say some of the most talented, genuine, insightful, outrageously talented people I've ever worked with have missed the ferry entirely. Rather, it steered clear of them in all likelihood. They took the back roads, the broken woods, the long way. And it works.

It has been such an honor to intern at Cate & Brough law firm these past two weeks. Attorneys Rachel Brough, Christopher Brough, and Grace Meadows have gone above and beyond to ensure my time spent interning was well worth my while. I was granted the experience of viewing multiple court hearings, mediations, and client consults. Above all, I had qualified attorneys and paralegals teach me countless lessons I will carry with me throughout my future career. #lawfirm #lawinternship #attorneyatlaw

Last week marked the end of my first month at Warner Goodman LLP. As a newcomer to the legal sector, it’s been an exciting few weeks filled with new experiences, so I thought it opportune to share my key takeaways: 💡Legal support roles are invaluable in creating a well-rounded practitioner. I’m fortunate to be surrounded by a supportive team who are helping me create solid foundations of knowledge. 💡Theory v Practice: two completely different things! As many of my fellow CILEX students advised me, studying the law builds a good foundation, but real world practice is a whole different ballgame. Only now do I really understand what this means. 💡It’s more than just law! From networking to marketing skills, there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes. Lawyers have to be multi-faceted and wear many hats 🎩
