To all the 1Ls: Good luck with your search for a summer internship!
On December 1, 2009, 1Ls can finally join all the other law students in the race to find a summer clerkship or law internship.

The best restaurants in Atlanta on a law student budget
As a self-professed food connoisseur, "09 Elite" food critic for Yelp.com, and broke law student, I am constantly balancing the need to stay within a reasonable budget and the desire for high quality food. In the six years that I have lived in Atlanta, I have dined in over 100 restaurants around the Atlanta metropolitan area. I have compiled a list of the restaurants with the best food at budget prices. My ratings are based solely on the quality of food--the elements of which are flavor, texture, freshness, saltiness, and likelihood to cause food poisoning.

Societal misconceptions have lulled many law students – particularly bright-eyed 1Ls and even some 2Ls– into a false sense of security.
