Momma in law, thinks a short hand-written for the attorneys and a paragraph typed to the office manager (I never did actually speak with her except by e-mail to get the thing set up). We’re etiquetteless slobs pity us please.

A common question on the law student board of old. There tend to be two schools of thought, at least in the mass interviewing process for summer programs. The first says that it is nice and polite to send thank you notes, and it might help enhance some positive feelings. The second says that it is just another chance to fuck up and things like typos and mispellings in thank you notes can definitely hurt.
I tend to come up saying write a thank you note to anyone with whom you particularly clicked and have something to say. Writing in total generalities and platitudes may be formally polite, but there aren't many people left who insist on formal politeness. And those people are far outweighed by those who will mock your platitudes.
