On August 26, 2010, we hosted our third #LawJobChat, a chat on Twitter that takes place the last Thursday of each month from 9 – 10 pm Eastern. We welcomed our guest host, Richard Russeth. I’ve pasted the full transcript below.

| 1:06 am | richard_russeth: | @aellislegal I think it depends on the position they are seeking in-house. #lawjobchat |
| 1:07 am | richard_russeth: | Q1: But I think at a minimum one should have 5 years in private practice before trying to go in-house. #lawjobchat |
| 1:08 am | richard_russeth: | Q1: I think I was pretty unusual in my career path. Very few go straight to in-house. It works if its a large corp. #lawjobchat |
| 1:08 am | aellislegal: | Q1 cont: any particular type position that typically requires less experience? more experience? #lawjobchat |
| 1:09 am | richard_russeth: | Q1: I was lucky to find a large company like The Pillsbury Company with a GC willing to take a chance! #lawjobchat |
| 1:09 am | richard_russeth: | Q1: I think specialized roles such as IP are more demanding of experience. But positions in general contract work less so. #lawjobchat |
| 1:10 am | aellislegal: | Q2: Assume a 5th year atty begins an in-house search. Is there a particular time of the calendar yr that’s best to look? #lawjobchat |

| 1:11 am | t10nbaum: | Q2: What would you say is the most important thing to do in law school if you want to end up as GC one day? Moot, Journal, etc.? #lawjobchat |
| 1:12 am | richard_russeth: | Q1: GENERALIST credentials are helpful in going in-house. SEC experience is amazingly helpful. #lawjobchat |
| 1:12 am | richard_russeth: | Q2: I don’t think there is a special time of year anymore. This used to be true. Its more dictated the economy. #lawjobchat |
| 1:13 am | richard_russeth: | Q2: That said, fourth quarter is a bad quarter in which to look. #lawjobchat |
| 1:13 am | squirrelpants: | How can one go from a staff attorney position to an in-house one? #lawjobchat |
| 1:13 am | richard_russeth: | Q2: As for law school, I think the broader your course load the better. Don’t over specialize. #lawjobchat |
| 1:14 am | richard_russeth: | @squirrelpants Not sure I get the “staff” vs. “in-house” #lawjobchat |
| 1:14 am | aellislegal: | Q3: good question RT @squirrelpants: How can one go from a staff attorney position to an in-house one? #lawjobchat |
| 1:14 am | richard_russeth: | Q2: Try to get an internship with a company after 1L – then firm after 2L. #lawjobchat |
| 1:15 am | aellislegal: | @richard_russeth I think he’s referring to being a staff attorney in a law firm, but will let @squirrelpantsconfirm #lawjobchat |
| 1:16 am | aellislegal: | Q4: How does your company hire in-house lawyers? recruiters, company website, job boards, social media, etc? #lawjobchat |
| 1:16 am | richard_russeth: | Q3: I think transferable skills are most important. Also many corps hire their outside counsel when they are impressed! #lawjobchat |
| 1:16 am | richard_russeth: | Q3: For example, my predecessor was hired out of private practice where he represented our company #lawjobchat |
| 1:17 am | aellislegal: | Advice to law students looking to go in-house: RT @richard_russeth Try to get internship w/company after 1L – then firm after 2L #lawjobchat |
| 1:17 am | richard_russeth: | Q4: rely a great deal on networks and recruiters. Interestingly company’s make the mistake of using executive recruiters. #lawjobchat |
| 1:17 am | t10nbaum: | Q4: being as that GC work is for a company, is there a business bground required? Or do lawyers from any background have a shot? #lawjobchat |

| 1:18 am | t10nbaum: | RT @aellislegal: Advice to law students looking to go in-house: RT @richard_russeth Try to get internship w/company after 1L – then firm after 2L #lawjobchat |
| 1:19 am | squirrelpants: | Q3: Yeah, from a staff attorney at a law firm to in-house counsel #lawjobchat |
| 1:19 am | richard_russeth: | Q4: Business background helpful but not essential. I do think in-house need to have an aptitude for business. #lawjobchat |
| 1:20 am | aellislegal: | Q5: What skills do you look for? For ex, do in-house lawyers have diff daily responsibilities (from firm lawyers) that you seek? #lawjobchat |
| 1:20 am | mpsever: | @aellislegal Just took the bar. Waiting on results. All jobs say they want 3-5 yrs experience. OK. where’s that come from? #lawjobchat |
| 1:20 am | richard_russeth: | Q3: I don’t think status in the firm is what drives hiring at the company. Fit on expertise and cultural fit are important #lawjobchat |
| 1:21 am | richard_russeth: | Q5: 3-5. We all want experience in-house because usually in-house is not big enough to devote much time to training. #lawjobchat |
| 1:22 am | richard_russeth: | Q5: in-house is about providing practical answers not memos #lawjobchat |
| 1:22 am | aellislegal: | @richard_russeth “@mpsever Just took the bar. All jobs say they want 3-5 yrs experience. where’s that come from?” #lawjobchat |
| 1:23 am | richard_russeth: | Q5: I haven’t written an “opinion” in many many years. Face to face helping the business succeed is the role of in-house #lawjobchat |
| 1:23 am | aellislegal: | @mpsever I assume you’re referring to firm and in-house job-postings. I’ll defer to @richard_russeth re in-house #lawjobchat |
| 1:24 am | richard_russeth: | Q5: The need to be able to interact with business folks is critical. As is need to provide answers in real time at the meeting. #lawjobchat |
| 1:24 am | aellislegal: | @mpsever Re firm jobs, remember most jobs aren’t advertised. Market your experience to firms. Target smaller firms that don’t #lawjobchat |
| 1:24 am | richard_russeth: | I’m guessing 3-5 is in-house criteria. I think its usually closer to 5. #lawjobchat |
| 1:24 am | t10nbaum: | Q6: You say your job is to help the business succeed, what is your daily schedule like? #lawjobchat |
