Oh, sweet! Will you be mentored by one person, or do you work with several different people? Or is it a proper externship at a firm?

Also, that reminds me that I need to hammer out my will... at some point... blah.

One person I believe, though I'm honestly not sure.

It was one person this year, and was required, but it wasn't an official class. I don't really know how it works but I'll update you.

If you wait till after this semester I believe I can legally make it out for you. Pretty sure once I've taken Professional Responsibility I'm allowed to practice in limited capacity.

My understanding from Smitty and Ed is that once you start law school you are forbidden from giving any legal advice until you pass the bar, but I could have misunderstood.

Hmm. Antitrust...sounds like they should do a case study on the major 'trusts' of today. These days they call them industry lobby associations. :D

Ed and Smitty are not entirely correct. Once you've taken Professional Responsibility (...and possibly passed the PR exam, not sure if that's absolutely required) you can even handle cases in court as long as you're under the supervision of a practicing lawyer. Either way, you don't have to be a lawyer to write a will.

Also, I didn't think of this at the time - it likely depends entirely on the jurisdiction. Ed and Smitty are both in Texas. I am not.
