Recently I have seen some discussion about job hunting on this board, so I was
thinking that maybe I should share my job hunting experience with all of you,
and hopefully this is useful information.
First, about my self. Arts major. Have gotten a master's degree in arts in the
U.S. before coming to law school. Know another foreign language besides
English. Now in a top 25 law school. First year grade below top 10% but well
above top 25%.
I started my job hunting in August. I signed up to partici

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. This kind of information does not
generally show up on the internet very often because we are such a small group
of people compared with the number of Chinese in other majors. It is good to
know that our Chinese JDs are doing well in job hunting. I am not sure this is
related, but there was an article in the US News about globlization of
American law schools. Schools are looking to introduce more international JDs

Thanks a lot for sharing! That's encouraging.
gloriayu, since your degree is M.A., I guess you are not aiming at IP? What's
your direction? Besides scores, does your background as M.A.(may I ask what
major?) help you to get offers? I have a M.A., but it has nothing to do with
business, finance, or language. I haven't gone to law school yet, but
considering which direction I should go.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Classical, my M.A. is in foreign language, it kinda of helped in the sense
that the firms might think that I can use the foreign language some how in the
future, but there is no immediate need neither. I cannot be IP lawyer since I
don't have a science background. Again, my point is that these things are only
pluses while the grades is the key. Hope this helps.
