Law Students

2010 Writers in Residence

By Ms. JD

Do you feel your creative spirit fading as you work tirelessly to perfect your legal writing skills?  Do you miss composing prose that is not in the passive voice or that does not require bluebooking?  Would you like to  share your experiences as women entering the legal profession?

Ms. JD is currently seeking law students and young professionals to serve as 2010 Ms. JD Writers in Residence.

The Writers in Residence program will consist of a small group of columnists who will provide monthly articles on a selected topic. Perhaps you can give monthly advice on applying for clerkships, balancing law school and motherhood, or on the joys (and frustrations) of studying for the bar. Maybe you are a fashionista, who can provide monthly tips on what (not) to wear in the courtroom, to an interview, or to the office. Or, maybe you would like to interview a successful women lawyer each month, seeking advice for young women lawyers and law students (what a fantastic way to network with women attorneys in your area!).
