I do not mean to sound rude or jealous and I am not targeting you in particular. But I am going to put my two cents in, in this situation.
I understand that the summer clerkship scheme allows you to test the waters and see what areas you are interested in. However, I find it quite annoying that there are people out there who have no idea what the hell they want to do they are just there for the sake of a clerkship. That really pisses me off.

Thanks to those who responded to this for me. Its my turn to put "my 2 cents"
Firstly Jennifer ... I know that you said you are not "targeting me" but lets face it....you are. I have made a total of FIVE posts in this entire forum (5 POSTS!!)...so I think its really ridiculous that you suddenly believe that you are the expert of my inner thoughts/ feelings and long term ambitions. Do you really you are qualified to judge me as "having no idea of what the hell I wanna do and am just doing the clerkship for the sake of the clerkship" from that one sentence? Quite ridiculous don't you think? So chill.... perhaps find an alternative way to deal with your personal clerkship related problems as opposed to hating this years clerkships recruits.
Asking people for their advice/experiences in particular rotation groups is a perfectly valid question in this forum. Isn't that one of the whole POINTS of this forum!!? Everyone here asks for advice on choosing degrees, majors, unis etc.!
SO please if anyone wants to share their experiences in the rotations they joined...please share! I'm particularly interested in IP, Corporate, Banking/financial and possibly litigation. But I can only choose 2.
ON another note: Whats up with the hate to the hypothetical " 12 interview student"? Who ever that person is... he/she must be awesome! He/she deserves the clerkship because they must have worked really hard to get whatever marks they have and to have amazing extra-curricular activities. I think he/she deserves a big pad on the back...as opposed to all this negativity! And if you are trying for clerkships again some other time jennifer, maybe you get their advice as opposed to hating on them...cause thats not gonna get you anywhere and just makes you sound "rude and jealous" frankly...
