Typo in Writing Sample

[superman10]

Hi, I just realized that on the first page of my writing sample, there is a glaring typo. I must have been moving some things around right before I printed it, and the cites are not underlined or italicized. I have no idea how that happenend, because on my original paper, they are underlined correctly. These are the very first cites of my writing sample, and will surely be noticed.

I was going to email the person who interviewed me a copy of my updated, non-typo writing sample, should I just say here is an updated writing sample? Will they be confused as to what could have changed in my writing sample in just two days? Should I just explicitly say that please use this instead??


Would love to know your opinion on this...

Wow, that sucks. Why not just email the writing sample with no explanation and hope the interviewer won't notice? I don't know though, that's a tough situation. Hey, at least this didn't happen to you:

That has to be my all time favorite thread.

Personally, I'd just forget about it and not stress.  The last attorney I talked to (who is really a top notch litigator) said his bluebook is the 14th edition.  I don't know what they're looking for in a writing sample, but I don't think it's to find out whether you underline/italicize case names.
