Bake Sales (how law school is like high school)

If you had asked me ten years ago if I ever thought I'd be doing bake sales again, I would have answered "not on my own behalf." Sadly, bake sales seem to be the single most lucrative method for the various student orgs to fill their coffers. The IP students are helping with a conference this spring, we need funds for that; so I make brownies. For Women's law I bag celery and carrot sticks. I don't mind doing it because I feel these groups are helping me to develop future contacts and to sharpen my sense of what areas of the law are going to be of interest. Still, there has to be a better way for students to make money for their organizations than hawking baked goods. That schools, the military and bake sales bumper sticker is hitting a little too close to home.
