This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Have you contacted any of Chicago big law firms to see by Tinsu
if they need any help from an intern, even if it is not paid? A lot of these firms are busy and maybe they could use some help? I am sure if you contact the HR Department, they will say no since you are not in an official hiring time. Instead, you can find lawyers' emails on the firm's website. I would email a copy of your resume to some of them and simply offer to help them immediately since you already have prior experience and live in Chicago. Tell them you will work for free, just for the experience. Maybe it will open something for the summer.
