[NYCInfoLaw] [NYU] Coarse Course Thoughts; Firm Footing

As I suggested at the last RG, I've been thinking both about what  
courses to take over my next two years and what firms to look at for  
my 2L summer/future.

As to the first, I'm thinking something like this: Copyright Law and  
Trademarks next semester, so I have a baseline as well as getting to  
know some of the IP professors; the Copyright Law in the Digital Era  
Seminar with Niva Elkin-Koren in the spring, along with other courses  
of relevance (PR in the fall, Evidence in the spring, Property, since  
I have to, in the spring...). Also, my substantial writing, hopefully  
in conjunction with the seminar.

3L year, Fed Courts, International IP Law, some Strandburg Cyber-IP  
courses (of which there are none my 2L year), and maybe the Colloquium  
on IP, depending on the topic. Any clinic work would be this year as  
well.

I'm seriously considering trying for a clerkship--hence Evidence and  
Fed Courts, and doing the writing 2L year. I'd also have a sprinkling  
of other courses--Trusts & Estates, Income Tax, Corporations...the  
kind of thing you sort of anticipate getting through law school having  
taken.

As to firms...there I'm at much more of a loss. I'm from here in New  
York City, but I'm interested in the West Coast--the Bay Area, Seattle  
maybe...but I really don't know much (yet) about the options there. Of  
course, I wouldn't turn down a good fit in NYC (or anywhere else,  
really).

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
