What type of position (ie type of law) are you looking for and how far away from a disney resort are you willing to go?

Yea, verily it sucketh.
I immediately sent the nicest "I'm irritated" reply to the Dean that I have ever sent. I think I did all the things you mentioned - I politely laid out what the impact of the timing was, and that I have no way of knowing what might have been, but that the grade had been a concern interviewers had, and the possibility exists that it could have cost me a significant opportunity. And I thanked her for letting me know.
And she responded, saying she'd do what she could to help....and I absolutely intend on taking her up on that. I know it wasn't done on purpose, and yes, I'm thrilled that the error was in my favor (as opposed to an "oops you got a D" email), but the timing could not have been worse.
So, what kind of law do I want to practice? Anything but family or criminal. But at the moment my favorite topic is IP, because I love the concept of property that isn't tangible except in a representative form. And discussing whether this squiggle is or is not too similar to that squiggle makes me happy in a way that likely isn't natural. And I'm willing to go nearly anywhere. (Although yes, my special secret dream is to work in Disney's legal department.)
