The decision by the National Association for Law Firm Placement to suggest only modest changes in how law firms recruit from law schools means the Platinum Home Mortgage

NALP's intent, Van Zandt said, was to "stop the race" among law firms to be the first to do on-campus interviews.

4—LEGAL EMPLOYMENT WEEKLY
SNOW DAY!
By: Caren Mansfield, a
member of the Illinois
Paralegal Association
I am just like the kids
in school. I love snow
days. When you live in
the country like I do
even a little bit of snow
on a windy day can keep
you off the roads. So
even though I love my
paralegal assignments, a
snow day is a day to
decompress. A snow
day is “a whatever I
want to do day”. A
snow day is also a guilt
free day. Really.
Advisories tell everyone
to stay off the road and
be safe. If you live in the
city, those sidewalks
won’t be cleared and
you can risk falling and
hurting yourself. For
just a little while, the
snow is pristine, and you
can remember to those
days in your youth when
snow was a wonderful
thing. Take a snow day.
Here’s my list for
snow days:
1. Take a nap. Sure,
you just got up in case
you had to go to work,
now you don’t have to
go so, take a nap;
2. Read a book. You
are not going any place.
Pick a book and read for
a while;
3. Go outside. It’s
really nice to go outside
and enjoy the snow
when you don’t have to
do anything else. You
can shovel the sidewalk
if you want but don’t
overdo it. Or, you can be
really community mind-
ed and shovel someone
else’s sidewalk.
Remember, the goal of
a snow day is to have
fun;
4. When you come in
from making the snow-
man, having a snowball
fight or making snow
angels, it’s time for hot
chocolate.
5. Watch something
you would not ordinarily
watch on TV. But let’s
skip Jerry Springer!
6. Start a fire (in the
fireplace if you have
one). If you don’t have
a fireplace, don’t start a
fire!
