What kind of specialties in law school would you recommend to focus on if you plan to work in this field? What kind of classes to take?

Hi everyone! There’s a conception that Government Affairs work is closely tied with who you know (in the government). Does this put international students (even if we have worked in government roles in our countries in the past) at a disadvantage? If so, do you have any suggestions on how we can lessen that disadvantage or bridge that gap? Thank you!

hi everyone! how do equity impacts factor into your work? how are equity-motivated policies received by your employers as well as by the governments you're lobbying to? thank you!

Networking seems to be critical in your careers - how do you maintain your existing relationships and keep in touch with everyone?

If we haven’t taken the bar exam should we?

https://www.nalp.org/jd_advantage - again, note some great resources on this page. We will post the panel recordings here as well.

If you're a non-traditional law student, such as an extended division who works full time and goes to law school part time, what do you suggest for opportunities to intern or gain experience in this space, as attempting to balance all priorities?

Besides networking, what are other paths to getting a job at this point? A lot of internships fell though with COVID and there seems to be a lot more competition for entry level positions. How are your HR departments dealing with this situation and is there anything we can do? (The cover letter suggestion was helpful. thanks)
