CLASS RANK:
Do indicate if you graduated from college with honors. If you
are in the top one-half of your law school class, class standing
should generally be included. Omitting information about class
standing may result in an employer's assumption that your rank
is poor or mediocre. If this assumption is true, you may include
in a cover letter mitigating factors: successful undergraduate
record, specific law course grades, improving law school record
or employment financing law school education. Further,
academic progress or improvement can be noted. Neither an
apology nor defensiveness is necessary. Strategically word and
place your explanatory information.

of your writings.

specific dates for periods of employment. Be concise – 3-4
bullets/lines of job descriptions are usually sufficient. List the
name of your employer and your title. Part-time jobs such as
waitress, bartender, etc., should not be included, unless they
were used to defray educational costs. If you include them, you
may choose to lump them together in a catchall category (e.g.
“Experience also includes: XYZ”)
