More AALS Advice...

Although this is my second year on the appointments committee, I am not ready to start dispensing advice on the meat market. However, I have gathered the best advice I found -- advice that I relied on while on the market -- in one place. It's been featured here before, but I thought I would re-point to it for nervous candidates.  The entry level advice links page is here.

I guess I have one piece of meta-advice. Take all of the advice with a grain of salt, and only do what makes you comfortable. If you are not yourself, it will show. Good luck!

Could someone speak as to the value of doing a legal writing fellowship like the one at LSU for individuals who wish to go on the market (and do not want to ultimately teach legal writing)?

I have one interview for a two-year legal writing position in LSU. They called me directly about it.

Does anyone have an interview at aals for a vap position?

Does the nature of an interview (either at AALS or elsewhere) change based on the type of position sought? E.g., VAP or Fellowship?
