Have a public interest scholarship on your resume. I mean really? There are plenty of people who actually want to go into public interest and taking that scholarship to do biglaw is a big d-bag move.
Eh, plenty of PI people go through OCI just in case. The PI job market isn’t exactly robust.
BiglawLawyer, I agree with you. At a minimum, that on a resume says to me that the candidate is just going to do Biglaw for a short period and will then flee to do public interest. I’d give the job to someone else.
