Employed!

It's a global firm, with about 1,800 lawyers worldwide, over 200 of them in Washington. They have offices in Barcelona, Brussels, Chicago, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Milan, Moscow, Munich, New Jersey, New York, Northern Virginia, Orange County, Paris, San Diego, San Francisco, Shanghai, Silicon Valley, Singapore, and Tokyo, as well as Washington, D.C. Milan!
The firm's biggest office is New York, with over 300 lawyers, then Los Angeles, with a few less, I believe. Only four in Milan. I wonder what they do, and if I can learn to do it also?
"So, can I accept a job offer during the clerkship?" I asked my colleague P., who is wise in these ways. "Sure!" she replied.
Terrific! Big law firms toss new lawyers surprisingly large amounts of money when they sign up – especially those coming from clerkships – and it'd be nice to pay off a few bills while we're here.
"You can accept the offer, but you can't take any bonuses until the clerkship is over," she elaborated. Damn.

Jen's been hassling me to see "The Firm," the 1993 Tom Cruise movie about an extraordinarily generous but eventually quite sinister law firm. Ha ha ha.

Plus, Nintendo named its "Kirby" videogame character after their intellectual property maven, John Kirby of Lathem & Watkins. Congrats dude.
Congrats! I would say I'm sorry you're not coming back to BB, but since I'm not there anymore, I don't have to be sorry.
That's all great, Tom, but will they let you wear shorts????
