Default I just passed the California Bar Exam

So I'm happy that I passed the bar, but sad to say I do not have a job secured. Anyone here have any contacts I can use?

I'm looking for work in business/corporate law in the San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles areas (although I strongly prefer San Diego so I won't have to relocate).

I graduated from Loyola this past May, in case there are any other alums on here...

Thanks,
-John

I have a friend who's a JD and recently took the Bar exam; I don't know whether he's passed or not.

He's a private investigator, a darned good one.

Hey Ming! I haven't gone anywhere, I've just been hiding in the Racing & Competition Forum for the past few years. I haven't had much time to check the other forums, so that has been my home.

Knobbe Martens Olsen & Baer is pretty much only an IP firm. I would consider a job in IP, but I would prefer something in business/corporate law. I guess I'll send them resumes today anyway.

As for the lawyer jokes... I think you got all of them that I know. I thought you were going to miss the one about a lawyer burried up to his neck in sand, but you even had that one.
