| | | When I start in May, I will chronicle each day of my first week working and update throughout the summer. It is my goal to borrow a license in a courageous and creative way during my time at the firm. I believe these chronicles will be an effective method of helping me track progress toward that endeavor.

< | Update: May 11th, 2012 I was accepted into a class called Public Sector Structural Reform in K-12 Education. I had talked this over before I applied with Eben, and he said that passing the imagination test requires action. He is right. Although I still have to keep working on it, I realize that you need to figure out what makes you "tick" and follow that path despite conformity or possible ridicule. Robinson is principled, despite other immoral practices in his profession. He said "A real lawyer knows how to take care of a legal problem." I hope I am on this path to be a "real lawyer," as I strive for it each and every day. | >

> | I couldn't believe that so much happened on my first day, and all throughout it I felt the passion that outweighed monetary or prestige concerns. First, I met with the office manager along with another intern who started today. We were given a tour of the firm and introduced to many of its partners and associates. I could tell they enjoyed working for Beldock. One of the partners even invited us to a court conference regarding a class action case suing the NYPD for its Stop and Frisk policy. Before attending the court conference, Myron Beldock, a founding member of the firm, gave me my first assignment dealing with police misconduct. Technically, our work hours are from 10 - 6:30 pm, but I already feel as if I should be working overtime. I felt like Robinson in the sense that I was working according to my values and thus it really felt as if I wasn't working at all.
