Looking Back on the 2L Recruit Process

I believe that this is an often overlooked issue. Due to the close social environment of law school, there is a lot of pressure to go along with what all your peers are doing and participate in the formal recruiting process. Despite being highly logical thinkers, law students are still susceptible to what economists term irrational decision-making, or what I prefer to call FOMO (fear of missing out). The fact is that only a minority of 2L students get a job out of the formal recruit process. Note that the FOMO issue extends beyond the 2L recruit, to life-changing decisions such as: What city/province do I want to work in? What area of law do I want to practise? Do I even want to be a lawyer? <a href="https://medium.com/law-school-life-and-beyond/looking-back-on-the-2l-recruit-process-b9f350ee8a60">Visit Now</a>
