The Push For Better Job Information For Incoming Law Students

Professor William Henderson is the lone responsible voice in a pack of ivory tower theives. Indiana is lucky to have him. In NY, we are surrounded by such low life scumbag "educators" as Dean Matasar, Joan "King" Wexler, and the Valvoline Dean.

Don't count on sensible, independent law school employment reporting coming any time soon. As Professor Henderson so accurately notes, "Regarding jobs in private practice, how many are working as contract attorneys? Nobody really knows, and the issue is not on the section's agenda. If these data are published, some law schools would probably go out of business.”

More importantly, as an astute commenter to the NY Times article noted yesterday, "It should be noted that the ABA leadership is composed of big law lawyers whose firms benefit greatly from the oversupply of lawyers because it allows the big law firms to pay rock bottom prices for the huge numbers of temp doc review attorneys they hire for large cases. Of course, these same firms then turn around and bill their clients top dollar for the same temp doc review attorneys that they are paying the lowest possible wages to. It is a win win for the big law firms. The fools who have been defrauded into persuing a law career wind up as debt and wage slaves for the benefit of big law and the banks who have offered the wage slaves loans backstopped by the government." In that vein, we have ShitStaff Staffing Agency offering this morning a pathetic, benefitless $23 an hour rate. The misery goes on.

How can I bang this older white gentleman? I bet he brings home a fat paycheck?

Older white gentleman better not get sick. While his grubby employer is billing him out at three hundred bucks an hour and trying to further drive down his wage to sub poverty levels through the importation of 3rd world labor, he probably lacks basic health insurance.

1. I am NOT a liberal.
2. I live in a racially mixed neighborhood where whites and Asians are a distinct minority.
3. Last time I checked, Nigerians, American blacks, Puerto Ricans and Mexicans were not responsible for the economic collapse we are living through.

I'm done with this board - have a nice life.

Don't be that older white gentlemen. When things pick up, if you find yourself on a shitty project with a bunch of scamming Nigerians jump ship as soon as possible. Don't stay at a place that doesn't respect a work ethic. In most cases, you won't be the "last man standing" anyway. The Nigerian possee will ensure they will be the last to go.
