Overall it went well. People weren't overly friendly, but I found a couple of kind souls who took pity on me and made it a point to include me. I got my first 1.5 hrs. CLE out of the way. Pretty good since I don't even have my bar card yet, and I have 2 years before I have to start reporting.
One att'y took my info and said that he may have some contract work for me. Another att'y who works for a civil defense firm in Big City gave me his card and said he thought they would have an opening in Jan. And another att'y advised that I take mental health court appointments if I have to go solo, and gave me contact info for that.
But apparently my little town is overrun with family lawyers. None of them were happy to hear that is what I'd be doing if I go solo. According to them, there is just not enough work here, and Big City lawyers keep taking what there is. Maybe its true, or maybe they are just protecting their turf.
