Lawyering and Living for Less: Networking on a Budget

As a graduating 3L in a dreary economy, finding that first job is more than ever about who you know and not (only) what you know.  Networking is essential to job success, especially when you're just entering the legal field and don't have the contacts of a more established professional.  Yet when you're living off student loans and work-study, it's difficult to rationalize spending your precious extra cash on drinks at a fancy event or posh business cards.  Here are a few tips on getting your name - and yourself - out there without breaking the bank.

Card yourself

• It is debated whether law students need business cards.  Regardless of your opinion on the matter, a prepared card with your contact information is an invaluable tool at a networking event.  But until you have something more substantial to put on your business cards than "J.D. expected, May 2010", you shouldn't spend a lot.  Vistaprint regularly sends out email offers for free business cards and similar products, so get on their email list and all you'll pay is shipping!

Make your web presence known

• There are seemingly endless opportunities for online networking these days, and websites such as LinkedIn can be a great resource.  It is usually free to set up a basic profile on any of these sites, but, as a result, a lot of people do it.  The challenge is making yourself stand out: add a picture, get recommendations, and make sure your profile stays updated.  You can also control what shows up when you're googled: set up a profile on Google Profiles to make sure your web presence is what you want it to be.

Meet up

• Happy hour is ingrained in our professional culture as a place where employees of all rank can go after work to relax and mingle with their peers.  Yet it goes without saying that, when you're not working, there aren't many opportunities for an after work happy hour.  Therefore, when you're invited, either through a volunteer position, clerkship, or student/young professional organization, you need to take advantage, regardless of the status of your checking account.  However, the very nature of happy hour means a high likelihood of food and drink specials.  To avoid asking your server about those specials in front of the people you're trying to impress, do your homework before you go, using sites such as Thrifty Hipster.  And don't try to impress your cohorts with your extensive knowledge of top shelf gin: order a rail drink or the house wine, drink it slow, and then switch to water.  Not only will this keep it cheap, it'll also save you from the potential embarrassment of a few too many drinks.

Couture-at-Law: How To Dress for Success on an Interview

Ed. note:  Couture-at-law appears as part of Ms. JD's Writers in Residence publications. Every day we will be featuring content from our WIR's monthly columns. More information about the WIR and the 2010 WIR posts is available here. 

We have all heard the warning: "you never get a second chance to make a first impression." No where is this statement more applicable than when interviewing for a job.  Regardless of how stellar your credentials are, the first judgment a potential employer makes is going to be based on the image you present.  Therefore, you want to wear an outfit that is polished and professional, thus shifting the focus of the interviewer away from your appearance and back to where it belongs - your stellar credentials and accomplishments. With that said, I suggest observing the guidelines below when choosing interview attire.  

• Suit on Mute. The legal profession is, at its core, extremely conservative. With this in mind, choose classic interview suits in solid, muted colors, such as dark greys, navys, or blacks. The suit should also be well tailored, fit comfortably, and be an appropriate length.
• Pant Suit vs. Skirt Suit.  There is still debate as to whether or not a pant suit is the most appropriate choice for an interview. Because the legal profession is so conservative, the best option is still a skirt suit. That’s right, I said it! Sexism, feminism, and all other ‘isms’ temporarily aside, the general rule is that skirt suits convey a more professional, conservative image than do pant suits. While I don’t necessarily agree, I do say that if you want the job, stick to convention and wear the skirt suit. The skirt should be knee-length or slightly above the knee and should drape over the body. If you experience difficulty sitting, walking, or breathing while wearing the skirt, it doesn’t fit.
• The Top Spot. A crisp, white, button-down business shirt is a powerful and sophisticated choice. If you prefer a more feminine silhouette, an appropriate alternative is a solid cami worn underneath the blazer. Regardless of the top you choose, be mindful of the fit- tight, gaping, or revealing tops should be avoided at all costs.
• Shoes Matter. Next, and equally as important to creating a polished and professional overall look, are the shoes!  Choose closed-toe shoes with a moderately high heel, again, in muted colors. Be sure to have your shoes polished or shined prior to the interview.  A potential employer will not be impressed with scuffed, shabby shoes.
• Accessorize Wisely. Go for nondescript, modest jewelry, such as small pearl or diamond earrings, a simple understated necklace, and one ring. You want to grab the interviewer’s attention with your words, not blind her with your bling.

The Skills for Leading in the Current Legal Landscape Are ...

Any woman who graduated from law school and passed a bar exam is capable of developing all the necessary skills to lead her organization. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Do not buy-in to the idea that you need charisma or a particular temperament. Do not let anyone convince you that you must be magically endowed with the right leadership traits or style. Good leadership flows from continually learning and refining the right set of skills for the unique context of your law firm, practice group, in-house law department, law school, or other legal organization.

Leadership is a process with three components: leader(s), follower(s), and goal(s). Leadership is goal-driven. Simply put, leadership skills are what enable leaders to identify the right goals and then develop and implement action plans to achieve those goals.

In my last post, I explained why women lawyers have an inherent leadership advantage for today’s legal landscape. It’s a complex landscape. The best way to lead in the face of complexity is with elegant simplicity. Here it is. There are only four skills that you need to worry about. I’m going to identify the four skills (other than the obvious need for technical excellence as a lawyer) and explain them. Let’s begin.

Skill #1: Identifying Goals

Goals fall into two categories. There are goals, which are necessary to solve problems and goals, which are intended to cause growth. An easy to understand and quite useful process for identifying goals is the B-school SWOT analysis. A leader must be able to think about her group, organization, system, and herself and be a first-class noticer of
internal Strengths and Weaknesses and external Threats and Opportunities. She must then be able to analyze the circumstances and decide upon and implement an action plan.

Is there a weakness that needs a solution? Is there a threat that is really an opportunity in need of innovation? Regardless of the type of goal, an action plan is the series of steps; which, if chosen appropriately and executed properly, leads to an intended goal. As you should have guessed, if they teach this in Business School then you, too, can learn this skill and with practice, hone it.

It’s helpful to have diversity of perspective to improve the process of noticing problems and opportunities and diversity of thinking to improve analysis and decision-making. Diversity rests in diverse groups, not in individuals. This brings us to the next leadership skill.

Myths and Realities about Pre-Law Education

Many young women fresh into their undergraduate careers do not know what to study or how their educational goals in undergrad will mesh with their goals of going to law school. I have seen my colleagues stress about LSATs as freshmen when most of us are unsure of what major we will even have!

Below are some myths about the undergraduate education I feel should be cleared up for any aspiring female law students out there (the "0L's," as I refer to them) who are stressing early on about their post-grad studies.

Myth #1: You should overload on pre-law courses in undergrad to see what it's like being in law school. 

Reality: You should instead focus on your major, which is hopefully in a subject you are interested in and can glean skills from which you can take with you to law school (such as reading and writing well, as well as reading comprehension). I'm a senior and still have not done a single pre-law class. While many universities offer pre-law courses that do provide a good basis for understanding the foundations of law, it is still good to attain good grades and a thorough knowledge of your chosen major.

Myth #2: Study for the LSAT as early as possible! Prepare from sophomore year until you finally take it!

Reality: The LSAT is hard. It is grueling. You will burn out if you stress about it for a long time (as in, longer than a year). A good amount of preparation begins with deciding when you are going to take it. Most law schools recommend the June LSAT after your junior year and, if your score was less than desirable, take it again in September or October. Finally, if you can afford a prep class, take it the fall or spring of your junior year and continue to study independently of the class.

Become familiar with what study routine works for you and get to know the test very well. Taking practice tests in a testing environment, such as free tests the Princeton Review offers, or through timing yourself with the help of a friend, will prepare you better than making a timeline the first day of undergrad for when to prepare for this.

Also, many law schools advise taking the LSAT in June after your junior year because you develop skills over the final years of undergrad that don't compare to your previous collegiate experience (i.e. before college). Taking the LSAT too early could put you at a major disadvantage, so plan ahead when is the best for you.

My First Year... as a Federal Court of Appeals Law Clerk

This is the first post in a new series called "My First Year..." In this series, which will appear the first week of each month, we will feature interviews of women as they begin putting their JDs to work in a variety of fields all over the country. Each interviewee will answer a standard set of questions about her first year. We hope this project will give law students and new attorneys a realistic picture about what life is like during the junior years of a legal career.

Today we launch our series with the interview of a Federal Court of Appeals Law Clerk...

How did you decide to pursue this position--was this something you envisioned yourself doing when you applied to law school, or was this something you learned about in school or during your summer?

Having taught middle- and high-school English before entering law school, I had a pretty clear plan about what I wanted to accomplish in and after law school.  One of my goals was to pursue a federal appellate clerkship.  That being said, just because it was a “goal” didn’t mean I had any clue how to go about making it happen (or what the job would actually entail).  Still, it was a goal I hoped I could make happen.

Describe a typical day on the job... 

Silence. And more silence.  Seriously, mine is a very solitary job.  On a regular day, I come into the office, sit down, and spend the day either researching, writing, or editing.  (To be more specific, my three main tasks are to (1) prepare bench memoranda to the panel summarizing the facts and law of a case and recommending a disposition, (2) draft opinions after oral arguments, and (3) edit other judge’s opinions.  Keep in mind that at the appellate level, most matters are heard by a three-judge panel, and most judges sit only about once a month or so.  Often applicants think they will be “in court” a lot, which just isn’t so.  Lack of hustle and bustle (and human interaction) doesn’t bother me, but it might bother some.  If you don’t like being alone with your thoughts, this is not the job for you!

What is the most rewarding thing about your job so far?

The most rewarding thing about my job is the daily contact I have with my judge.  I am able to observe how he approaches cases and applies the law to them.  There really is no better experience to prepare you for practicing law than seeing how a judge thinks through a case.

Avenues to Partnership

Editor's Note: Ms. JD's annual conference, Avenues to Advancement, was held November 20-21, 2009, in Chicago. These are some tips from the Partnership panel.

At Ms. JD’s recent Avenues to Advancement Conference, held at Northwestern Law School, one of the panels, entitled ‘Avenues to Partnership,’ brought together five successful women to discuss their varied paths to partnership.  The panel began with each woman providing three top pieces of advice.

Leslie Darling, Partner, Ungaretti & Harris: 1) You should recognize the importance of business generation and begin developing a “book of business” early on in your career.  2) Never forget that a law firm is a business. Make sure you know the economy of your firm and understand the financials.  3) Be thoughtful with regard to building your social network.  Recognize that as a young associate many of your friends and colleagues will also ascend in their career paths, and you can never know where people will end up. 

Julianne Hartzell, Partner, Marshall, Gerstein & Borun: 1) Always remember that an associate’s job is to make the person you are working for’s life easier, whether they are the partner or the client.  Make sure you give people everything they need to know to answer the question or resolve the problem.  2) Find an area of law that you love.  3) Find a firm with values and goals that mesh with your own.

Patricia Brown Holmes, Partner and Diversity Committee Co-Chair, Schiff Hardin LLP: 1) Network, network, network.  2) Never forget the importance of hard work, but also learn how to work smart.  3) Learn to separate your personal life from your professional life.  Everyone will have commitments outside of work, but make sure that your personal commitments do not impede your ability to get your work done.

Jennifer Waters, Partner, Schopf & Weiss: 1) Everything positive that you do is “capital in the bank.” As an associate, you want the firm to view you as an asset worth keeping.  Think proactively and take ownership of your work.  2) Remember the importance of firm citizenship and involvement is part of showing your commitment to the firm.  Joining committees are also a good way of developing an advocate to speak up for you.  However, make sure that you do not “drop the ball” on committee work or projects.  If you do not have the time to do the job well, do not take on the responsibility.  3) To the extent that you have control over it, try to find a good assistant or secretary. This will be one of the most important relationships you will need to cultivate over the course of your career.

Amy Manning, Partner, McGuire Woods (Moderator): 1) Exceed expectations, even if you want flexibility.  The paths to partnership are varied, but regardless of your elected path ensure that you excel at your work.  2) You should not be ambivalent about making partner – internally or externally.  3) You should never lose sight of the fact that there is a PR aspect to your career, both inside and outside the firm.

All of the panelists emphasized that your network is your most important business asset.  For young attorneys looking to build a network, one panelist suggested striving to add five “high quality” contacts to your network each year.

Finally, the panelists stressed that while other people will be necessary to get you to partnership, you also have to stand up for yourself.  Learn to identify the people who can help you along the way, but also those whom you can help. By understanding the service nature of the profession, you can identify opportunities to make others (and yourself) look good.  Most importantly, find ways to share your accomplishments, those inside and outside your firm.  If you are not comfortable “tooting your own horn,” you and a friend or co-worker can partner at events and promote each
other’s achievements and successes.

Canada's First Woman Supreme Court Chief Justice, Beverley McLachlin, Celebrates Her Tenth Year as Top Judge

"I have always wanted to be known as a good jurist, as a serious jurist," said Canadian Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin in a recent interview with the Globe and Mail, marking her tenth year as top judge.  It appears that she has, without a doubt, succeeded. 

McLachlin has presided over thousands of cases in a 29-year career on the bench.  Lately, the Court has tackled difficult press freedom and free expression issues.  And McLachlin still feels the pressue of making difficult decisions.  "They are all really, really important issues at this level," she said.  "One does ponder them, and go back and forth agonizing about them.  I must say, it is a preoccupying thing."

Equally noteworthy is the fact that McLachlin presides over a Court where four of the nine seats are occupied by women.  "I think that's a wonderful situation for the court to be in," she said.  "It gives encouragement to people who might otherwise feel they ought not to try for whatever it is they want to try for."  As the Globe and Mail reported: "In her early years, Chief Justice McLachlin often found herself wondering whether colleagues were parsing her statements with the subconscious thought, 'Is that her hormones - or her women-ness - talking.'  That is no longer the case, she said.  'We just don't think in terms of gender on this court.  I don't think it is for the men on the court, either.'"

Rather, the challenge has become leading nine independent, brilliant minds in pursuit of making the best legal decisions possible.  As she tackles this challenge, McLauchlin moves closer to becoming the longest-serving chief justice in the 135-year history of the Court (she is three years away).  Yet, through it all, she continues to conduct herself with poise and intelligence, while maintaining perspective: "Whatever happens, happens.  It has been a great privilege, one I could never have imagined in my wildest imaginings when I started out in law."

Avenues to Government

Editor's Note: Ms. JD's annual conference, Avenues to Advancement, was held November 20-21 in Chicago. These are six pieces of advice from the Avenues to Government panel.

Although lawyers in the public sector often make far less than lawyers in the private sector, that is not an indicator of the difficulty of the job or of getting in the door.  The panelists on our Avenues to Government panel offered some myths and truths about working for the government and offered some tips to help you get public sector job.  Below are two of these myths and three tips to help you get started.

Mythbusting

Myth #1: Lawyers in the public sector are not as good as lawyers in the private sector.

This is absolutely false.  As one of our panelists stressed: lawyers in the public sector are some of the best and the brightest lawyers in the profession.  And they demand excellence as much, if not more, than lawyers in private practice.

Myth #2: The training is better in private practice.

The truth is that the training is often different.  One panelist stated that she did not have any “real” training, but was just thrown into the water and had to swim.  Another panelist jumped in to note that this was training – real experience training – and that is huge! Public sector training if often informal, but it teaches lawyers how to multitask and how to run by the seat of their pants – both great skills for lawyers, especially in this economy. 

Get in the Door

Tip #1: Intern!

In the public sector, other than in politics, it is less about who you know and more about the process, at least at the early stages.  So get some real experience.  If you are struggling to find a meaningful experience, look outside the box.  Be willing to work for little or no pay for some time, think about clerking and get involved in your community.

Tip #2: Be a joiner.

Just because who you know matters less, it does not mean it doesn’t matter at all.  Being connected means you’re more likely to hear about positions that fit your interests.  So join your local or state bar association or a community organization.  Get involved with these groups and gain connections. And remember: don’t burn your bridges.  You never know who might be able to help you out in the future.

Tip #3:  Keep track of everything you do.

Whether you’re speaking on a panel, attending a training session or earning CLE credits – write it all down and keep it handy.  It will show your connections, your motivation and your experience, so when the right job comes along, you can prove that you’re prepared.

Caught in the Downturn

Editor's Note: On February 1, 2010, Frank Kimball, of Kimball Professional Management, will be presenting Strategies for Succes in the Winter & Spring Legal Job Market at UCLA. Frank was a panelist at Ms. JD's annual conference, Avenues to Advancement, November 20-21 in Chicago. These are six tips from the Caught in the Downturn panel at that conference.

People often enter the legal profession believing the job to be recession proof.  The last year and a half has proven that calling any job recession proof is equivalent to counting your chickens before they have hatched.  So what does this economic downturn mean for lawyers and what should you do if you’ve been caught in the downturn? The panelists each laid out a possible game plan for how to approach this downturn.  Below are the themes that came up the most during the panel:

1. Keep your resume up to date

Make sure that you stay current with necessary skills and keep track of new developments within your practice area.  If you have a long period of unemployment, find ways to fill your time.  Try volunteering, getting involved with your bar association or doing online webinars. 

2. Network, Network, Network!

Make a list of all your contacts – include everyone you know.  Physically write the list out on paper.  Then categorize each contact into one of four categories: close relationship, acquaintance, alumni group or decision maker.  Look at the list and figure out not how these people can help you, but also about how you can help them.  Remember, networking is all about relationships. 

3. Be flexible

Be flexible, not just with your time or your interests, but with your expectations as well.  Be willing to volunteer, do pro bono work or intern.  Also look for ways to meet people, even if it won’t end in a job, such as informational interviewing, where you meet with someone in your practice area to discuss the industry.

4.  Get a handle on your finances

Look at your fixed and discretionary expenses and cut out anything you don’t need.  If you have loan payments, look for ways to decrease your minimum payment.  Check out the Institute for Financial Literacy, which may be able to help you gain control over your finances. 

5. Find someone to keep you accountable

Find a third party to keep you motivated and accountable for your work.  Make sure that person is willing and able to ask you every day or every week how you are progressing. Also be certain that you are willing to listen to him or her if you are not following through.

6.  Stay positive

Yes, it’s difficult to be positive when you’re out of work, but your attitude will come across to others.  Project a confident, competent image and others will see you that way.  Remember not to judge yourself. Just keep exploring your options and take some time out to refuel yourself. Often, the things that fill your tank can lead you to meeting more people, so find time to have fun!
