Two Useful Guides for Summer Interns

LEGAL BLOG WATCH:

Two Useful Guides for Summer Interns

For law students venturing out into the real world this summer, here are two resources to pave your way:

  1. Transitioning from One-L to Summer Legal Work Podcasts. Suffolk University Law School's legal research and writing program has produced this series of 19 podcasts. Available through Suffolk's iTunesU, each podcast features a different legal writing professor from law schools throughout the United States. Each professor offers practical advice on real-world topics such as "creating a research file," "understanding your clerical help" and "professionalism in electronic communication." The series was produced by Kathleen Elliott Vinson, director of the school's Legal Practice Skills program, and Gabriel H. Teninbaum, assistant professor of legal writing. Suffolk Law's dean, Alfred C. Aman Jr., not only provides the introduction to the series, but also -- according to Jeff Lipshaw at Legal Profession Blog -- provides the musical background for each segment, drawing on his second life as a jazz drummer.
  2. Tips for summer associates. Launched just one month ago, the Career & Professional Development Blog, part of the Law Professor Blogs Network, is focused on providing advice to law students who are searching for public and private summer associate and law clerk positions and to lawyers who are making changes in their careers or seeking career alternatives. To that end, the blog's authors have already contributed a number of posts of particular use to law students starting summer jobs. Among them: Top Tips for Summer, 5 Stages of Working with Support Staff, Facebook Professional Success Story and 12 Bar Exam Tips.

Same Sex Marriage in... New York?

We all know that Massachusetts and California are the only states to have legalized gay marriage, but The New York Times reports today that New York Gov. David Paterson has directed that state's agencies to begin to revise their policies and regulations to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions.

In a directive issued on May 14, the governor's legal counsel, David Nocenti, instructed the agencies that gay couples married elsewhere 'should be afforded the same recognition as any other legally performed union.'

The revisions are most likely to involve as many as 1,300 statutes and regulations in New York governing everything from joint filing of income tax returns to transferring fishing licenses between spouses.

OK, that doesn't mean same-sex couples can marry in Manhattan -- or anywhere else in the Empire State. But it does address some of the messy issues that arise when a same-sex couple marries elsewhere and then lives in New York. The NYT cites legal experts as saying that the move would make New York the only state that did not itself allow gay marriage but fully recognized same-sex unions entered into elsewhere.

For a podcast debate of California's recent ruling on gay marriage and its implications for other states, see our Lawyer2Lawyer program recorded last week, with guests Tara Borelli, staff attorney in the Western Regional Office of Lambda Legal, and Brian S. Brown, executive director of the National Organization for Marriage.
