About Clubs (Not the Night ones)

So the feeling I've gotten so far in my scant few weeks in law school is that clubs ultimately do not matter much in terms of finding employment...

Now, allow me to add a caveat- most of the upperclassmen I've chatted with are searching for big law firm jobs, so perhaps this is different for government, public interest, etc... (but honestly, something like 90% of the kids end up doing that or a judicial clerkship here so for all intents and purposes, this is what matters here)

I had initially written a long post about this, but upon further reflection I should probably keep my mouth shut until next year when I go through OCI's and whatnot (if I decide to do that) and actually know what I'm talking about. Everything I know right now is hearsay.


Here's the gist of what I've been told/what I've perceived:
Sign up for a lot of clubs and dabble in them to see which ones you really like, and then stick with those and drop the rest. Don't worry too much about not sticking with as many as other people, or not doing the important sounding ones, it probably doesn't matter as far as employment goes- it's just for fun and networking! And, law journals are apparently really important for firm jobs/judicial clerkships, so if that's your goal, do well on the case note in your second semester.
