Temps are, unfortunately, often micro-managed because of the overwhelming unprofessional attitude that many temps take toward their jobs- I have seen temps sleeping on the job, making hour long personal calls, and instant messaging friends for hours as opposed to coding...all while billing the client. If you want to be respected in any profession, you must earn respect through your actions. Simply securing a law degree and passing a bar exam is not enough to earn you respect if your work ethic and work product are consistently substandard. And, if the conditions on these projects are as bad as you all describe, which was not my experience when I was a contract attorney, then simply quit and secure a full-time salaried position somewhere. I don't really see how this blog will change anything other than possibly providing a forum for temps to vent frustrations.

A MONEYMAKER. Where would all these professors and administrators go if there weren't second, third, fourth-tier schools? They'd fight to the death so as not to have their bread and butter taken away. (Or should I say their "host" taken away, since they're PARASITES.)<BR/><BR/>They opened up the legal field to people who shouldn't have become lawyers, who had no business becoming lawyers. These are people of all races and both sexes. More students = more profits, for both the schools and the student loan companies.<BR/><BR/>THERE ARE TOO MANY LAWYERS ALREADY!<BR/><BR/>And don't forget that our society has popularized the ideal of "Univeral Education For All." This means that people who aren't necessarily worthy or intelligent are getting Bachelor's degrees (they're pushed through the system), as well as advanced degrees. These people would've been laborers or secretaries 30, 40, 50 years ago. Now they're college grads, lawyers, accountants, etc. with a possibly heavy student loan debt and a sense of entitlement because of their 'educational accomplishments'.<BR/><BR/>Follow the money!

You should do some more homework besides looking at school brochures before making at 100k+ investment? Would you buy a car from just looking at the salesperson's brochure? Probably not.</I><BR/><BR/><BR/>That isn't an answer to the question that was asked. Again--there are three sides to this equation--students who make a large investment in a legal education in the expectation that they will find work that pays sufficiently to justify such an investment; schools that offer an expensive education that presumably prepares students to perform such work; and state bars that license graduates to perform such work. Are not all three responsible for their respective decisions? Why then are the graduates the only parties being made to pay a price?<BR/><BR/>Nor has anyone addressed why, if the only employment available is for "high-powered" attorneys who presumably can only be the product of 14 schools, or doc reviewers, who can be the product of any "mediocre" school, that the other schools continue to admit so many students, and state bars continue to license so many practioners. <BR/><BR/>Why not make an announcement that we simply have all the lawyers we need, and everyone who does not get into at least Cornell should go do something else? That seems like a simple, supply-side solution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-26774383322113223682007-08-30T01:53:00.000-04:002007-08-30T01:53:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
