The session with our section’s peer advisors gave me an idea. I’ve been thinking about getting a legal job in the third or fourth year of law school, but I’m not sure what I want to do exactly, or how the timing would work. I’ve also thought it might be cool to get a job as a law clerk for a judge.

So the peer advisors were talking about how a bunch of people in their class transferred to the full-time program because it was an election year and they all lost their jobs when the Kerry campaign ended. I realized that at the end of my second year I’ll be done with this long-term project at work and it will be in the middle of the 2008 election year. It would be a perfect chance for me to work full-time on a campaign for the summer and even through November so that I have time to look for another job by winter. I have plenty of time to think this over, of course, but I’m a little excited already…
