So what happens when they see you talking about the dishwasher you blew at tgi fridays after smoking a joint with your friend santos and drinking 9 margaritas?
Im assuming they fast track you the job?
I'm reminded of the person looking for an ad who manipulated google so that a search for him by the ad agency showed benficial things.
An enterprising lawyer-to-be has already, I'm certain, created a facebook persona that the law schools can find easily. A persona that is in marked contrast to their true nature.

And, even if whatever you're saying is true, how does it compare to the blatant misinformation spewed out by law schools regarding post graduation employment?
Works for me. When I was recently looking for new employment, I was hoping they would do some research on my to see what all I have done that doesn't show up on a resume (like tons of volunteer work...as in a leadership role).
It's an issue with jury selection, too.
