Subject: October: If You Want the NFL, Come to Me
Sent: 10/4/11 to 411 recipients
Hi friends and family,
This fall has been off to a whirlwind start. First off, for those of you wondering about the title of this email; as LSU climbed the NCAA football polls to a No. 1 ranking, I was busy writing an article about this summer's NFL player lockout and mediation. The article was picked up for publication and will print in the October/November edition of the Louisiana Bar Journal. I attached a PDF copy to this email if you'd like to read it.
In terms of other things keeping me busy these days, I participated in the law school's mock trial competition and won a spot on our trial advocacy team. This team will take me to Washington D.C. in March to participate in a competition emphasizing the use of modern technology in a 21st century courtroom. I will soon be competing in our school's moot court competition in mid-October and I will be mediating cases as a part of my involvement in our Civil Mediation Clinic.
I am also teaching a law class at a local high school as part of a program called "Street Law." This past week, I created an engaging lesson plan that brought my students to dialogue about the philosophical foundations of crime, and of the law in general. Directing them to think critically about the law and its impact on our society, we discussed issues such as morality, the death sentence, and the effectiveness of the American justice system.
Last week, I celebrated the Jewish New Year and I met with Amanda Ellis, a Texas lawyer who is published and who advised me on how to better utilize social media websites to find employment. I followed Ms. Ellis's suggestions and have reached out to attorneys and streamlined my social networking profiles to make them more attractive for potential employers. Yesterday, as the Supreme Court convened to begin hearing cases under its 2011 term, I took the opportunity to meet and speak with American Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC) National President, Lee Rosenberg.
I'd like to take the chance here to launch my own website. You can now find me online at http://michaelfinkelstein.weebly.com/. I am also starting to do some freelance photography and I am available if you'd like to have a photographer at any kind of event you are planning (birthday party, reception, tailgate, etc.).
As I continue my search for a summer clerkship, particularly those in New Orleans and Houston law firms, please keep me in mind if you know of anyone who needs a law clerk. Please also let me know if you there is anyone who might like to be added to this list. Thank you all for your support, it has been incredibly positive and encouraging. Enjoy this beautiful fall weather and Geaux Tigers.
Sincerely,
Michael Finkelstein
