Shamberg Johnson & Bergman

Going into law school I tried to lower my expectations. My goal was to get through. Doing it in the normal three years would be nice. So far those low expectations have worked out pretty well. Not only am I in good academic standing but my grades are good enough that I've been able to interview with quite a few firms on Campus. This is very fortunate considering the current economy.

Yet those firms have really varied. Some were in rural areas of the states, others in St. Louis and Kansas City. The firms I received callback interviews from were either Big 4 Public Accounting Firms interested in law school students to do tax work or Trial Attorneys. Polar opposites. However even with their differences (or perhaps because of them) it has been challenging to make a decision which direction to go. Each has its pluses and minuses.

My decision: Shamberg Johnson & Bergman in Kansas City, MO. The attorneys I met there all seemed very bright, they are well-known and well-respected in the trial attorney community, and I feel that my experience there will help teach me how to be a real attorney. So I anticipate a steep learning curve this summer but I am excited for the experience.

Now if anyone has tips on affordable apartments in Kansas City, please let me know.
