Emailed about a jerb (no opening posted), he suggested we get drinks once he and his colleagues return from trial. Then, he said, he'd be happy to put my "application" through the "official process."

Non service group practice area, fwiw

Partner has my resume and writing sample, not transcript. My resume is misleading in terms of how I did in classes (didn't do great but still copped cool gigs).

'17 grad working in midlaw, different city / state than where biglaw firm is located

GPA not on resume

I lucked into a few jobs/internships in law school which make me seem more impressive than my transcript would show

He's a school alum (albeit from 20 years ago)
