Never Mind That All The Document Review Has Been Outsourced, Ann Israel Tells NYC Unemployed Law Grad To "Stay Positive" And Go To Iraq



"It seems like Hester Prynne would have an easier time finding work right now wearing a scarlet letter A for her act of adultery than an attorney with a juris doctor degree from a low-ranked school on his or her resume.

But a lawyer newly admitted in New York and New Jersey who makes that complaint to legal consultant Ann Israel in a New York Lawyer column gets scant sympathy.

Rather than focusing on her 'obscene' law school debt and likelihood of a lower post-law-school salary, in real dollars, than she made in an interim think-tank position between college and law school, 'Hester' should pull up her socks and figure out what her best options are now, Israel advises. With her joint bar admissions, she certainly has some, both inside and outside the legal profession.

Among the practice possibilities to which Israel points is a gig in the military."

I am tired of the "think positive" media always trying to blind us. Shame on the legal media for doing the same, while the LPO's pillage and lay waste to this dying profession.

Your mental thoughts can transform your perception and the reality of the world. I recommend that you pick up a copy of "The Power Of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. Excellent read.

"A welcome-back party for Big Oil" is how the Wall Street Journal today sums up the Iraqi government plan to open up its oil fields to the highest bidders after three decades of tight control under Saddam Hussein. Starting next week, the Iraqi government will begin auctioning off contracts to foreign countries, opening up a market with 115 billion barrels in "proven reserves."

3 of my former classmates from the class of 2007 have committed suicide because they were unemployed and drowning in debt.

Shame on you, Ann Israel. Shame on you. The JD degree is a life taker and a heartbreaker. It has been the ruination of thousands of poverty stricken new lawyers who cannot even get rid of this debt via bankruptcy.

Getting into the JAG corp is not easy. Her advice is not practical. They gave me a hard time about my weight and wouldn't enlist me. Plus, Iraq is too hot without airconditioning and alcohol is banned.

No, no, no, no ...this is no way to live life.

Please children I understand your distress. But this is no way to unleash it.

I think she was just suggesting positive thinking. I am sure it's hard to have an expensive law degree and no jobs.

It would be like after having giving up sex and earthly pleasures and lived in the dark damp confines of the monastery all my life I was told there is no God and no Jesus. [Although there have been some nasty recent rumours to that effect].

Even if you have no money and no one to love you, you still have your health and arms and legs. That is a lot. Please count your blessings.

May the Lord have mercy on all of us in these troubles times...

Father Eamon, I wish I had my health. Last year, I was diagnosed with diabetes and as a solo attorney I am hardly able to afford my medical treatments. I stopped paying my private law loans, and my future is indeed bleak. How do you counsel someone who has daily thoughts about suicide? Also, why does is the Church so adamantly opposed to suicide. Why force people into an endless string of suffering?

As most of you have probably heard by now, the DC Metro crash was possibly caused by a computer failure. That news got me and a few others interested if the DC Metro has been outsourcing work to India or bodyshops, and employing H-1Bs. The reasoning behind the research is that when employers are looking for the cheapest labor they often get what they pay for.
Several previous posts have been published concerning President Obama’s appointment of Aneesh Chopra for Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Vivek Kundra for Chief Information Officer (CIO). Besides their obvious ethnic similarities, keep in mind that Aneesh Chopra led a large junket to India in 2006 to promote the outsourcing of Virginia state jobs. Read the previous newsletters on these two appointments to see how both of them have a long record of promoting the outsourcing of American jobs to India.Chopra and Kundra are definitely friends of India.

Anonymous said...

The following information isn’t in any particular order, and I think we should all be careful about what conclusions are drawn. Too little is known about the cause of the crash yet to blame any particular contractor so until more is known all of this should be considered circumstantial evidence. That said as a disclaimer, here is the stuff:
Primary contractor for the DC Metro is Optimal Solutions & Technologies(OST).
Vivek Kundra has many connections to OST. He was even on their board.
But that wasn’t the only reason Kundra put Optimal Solutions and Technologies in charge of nearly 100 subcontractors eager for a piece of as much as $75 million a year in technology contracts.
And what about the role of Optimal Solutions and Technologies, a D.C.-based company founded in 1999 by Vijay Narula?
Though allegedly Acar and Bansal violated city rules by regularly meeting and talking, Narula said his company, which has about eight employees assigned full time to the contract, was powerless to detect such behavior.[Federal Probe Casts Doubt on D.C. Contract Reform Effort - washingtonpost.com,April 6, 2009]
Remember Sushil Bansal? He was the one that was arrested and jailed, andwas the reason the FBI raided Kundra’s office. Acar has been charged withbribery.
OST is heavily involved in our transportation infrastructure. They even have an FAA Software Design and Development Services Contract. Vijay Narula is their CEO. OST’s contracts are some of the most important in the nation because they involve public safety, and yet it’s very difficult to find out where Narula was born–he is very much an enigma. Try finding his biography with Google, and get back to me when you find out something.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Awards an Information Technology Contract to Optimal Solutions and Technologies (OST, Inc.)
GRPA is another outsourcer that does business with the WMATA. They have offices in India, and perhaps they send some work there.
GRPA is a registered IT services provider to the state of Maryland, various counties, and other organizations like Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), the World Bank, and several Credit Unions, etc.
GRPA is considered a minority owned business, which gives them a large advantage over other companies that want to win state contracts. The company name explains their minority status: G.R. Patel & Associates, Inc.
Master Contractor Name: G.R. Patel & Associates, Inc. (GRPA) Minority Business Enterprise: Yes Name: G.R. Patel Title: President
Some of the high tech workers on the WMATA engineering and computer/ITsystem have similar ethnic backgrounds. It is not known at this time what their visa status is:
Anurag Mehta Enterprise GIS Architect at WMATA (DC Metro) Washington D.C. Metro Area
Anurag Mehta mehtaag at ucunix.san.uc.EDU

·Pradip (Roy) Sr Electrical Engineer at WMATA Washington D.C. Metro Area
· Naheed Monower Deputy Chief, Operations and Maintenance at Washington Metropolitan AreaTransit Authority Washington D.C. Metro Area

great idea because if you die in Iraq there is a good chance you won't still have to worry about law school or student loan debt.

Why don't they offer some volunteer work for debt forgiveness. And gee let's make this volunteer work local to help your community in the USA.

I am done with all the help we give abroad. The world tends to hate America since the bush years. Could we gave some local charities and volunteer organization. Before trying to save the world or butterflies in Antigua wouldn't it be better to fix your own backyards.

Fuck the rich too, goddam pigs. That dont do shit to help domestically.

3:54 I hear your cry for help. Yes, no doubt these are challenging times.

Many people I know are struggling with the same thoughts.

Your future is not as bleak as you think. You are better off than 90% of the people. Move to a different, smaller city for a few years, join a firm there, they will be happy to have a New York lawyer, and come back when things are better. There are many holistic things you can do for your illness until you get health insurance.

Eat right and excercise. Get out in the sun everyday.

I see children with cancer, who are blind, in pain -- now that is suffering. Maybe you should spend a day or two with them and see the other side of life. You are an educated person. It may take some time but you can turn it around. It may not be a fabulous life, but it can be a comfortable one.

Don't forget to be thankful for things you have.

May the Lord have mercy on all of us...

I always thought of the S&C dungeon as more of a warning of what will happen to people if they continue on their present evil paths. There's some real sickos down there. Truly nasty people who enjoy making other people suffer.

I imagine that purgatory is something like the S&C basement except no weekends off and you have to work 24 hours a day. And you have to look at that ugly mug of Mrs. T all the time.

I think Ann Israel made a good effort to answer the question. Also, having spent some years as a JAG officer, I can testify that this can be a good career. It was not for me, as I was not there voluntarily, but you can have a good time and some interesting work. (You do have to meet weight control or bodyfat standards, as one person noted.)

While I fully support any one who is considering joining the military, its a good option for SOME people, Ann Israel clearly does not understand what that means, and contrary to popular belief they don't just take anyone.
Furthermore, as the song goes "you ain't gonna get rich diggin a ditch your in the army now"
If you go in as an enlisted person, which for a law grad means having a rank of E-4, or specialist,or one rank above private fist class, you can qualify for federal loan repayments up to 65K, BUT you must be current on all your loans and you must complete your term of service,(8 years) and its only offered for certain MOSs or jobs.
If you go in as an officer, there is no loan repayment. You will earn approximately 40k a year.If you have 140k in debt, you probably will not be able to pay your loans, and then not only will you be in trouble with your lender, you will also be in trouble with your commander.

Though suicide has been a viable and widely respected option since at least the time of the Roman republic, I would remind people that there is no debtors prison in the U.S. Once you are impoverished you can collect food stamps and qualify for Medicaid, though finding a secure place to sleep and shower can be daunting.

If becoming homeless is too much of an indignity then suicide may be a good option. Life is a very temporary condition what is a few years more or less? Personally I plan to survive by whatever means necessary as the future may hold hope, even if you can't see any now.

Another option is to commit a white collar crime and accept a moderate prison term in a minimum security facility. I hesitate to try this as I think I would take the suicide option if I didn't have the Internet or some other method of mental stimulation.
