You've convinced me that it is my duty to explain again how bad of a decision it would be to go to law school to anyone thinking of going(even if they don't ask me....) I refrained from doing so because I didn't want to appear to be an overly negative person. But it would only be saving them from so much misery by talking them out of it. I thought things were bad when I graduated (class of '93), but things look even worse today. They are offering the same starting salaries today...unbelievable.Eddie10011https://www.blogger.com/profile/15564370416459726926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-35021419337543132042009-10-04T22:19:41.320-04:002009-10-04T22:19:41.320-04:00Nando, but were they not paid when they left early...Nando, but were they not paid when they left early?

The law.com article on attorney layoffs also noted that thousands of legal staffers have likewise been let go.<br /><br />When I did the defense clinic at Drake, I remember that the courts throughout Iowa were making their court reporters and staff go home early 2 or 3x a week. And every other Friday, the courts were closed.<br /><br />Isn't this a grand industry?!?Nandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423524039657355134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-37826587744185128242009-10-02T19:01:55.131-04:002009-10-02T19:01:55.131-04:00It is crazy that so many people want to go to law ...It is crazy that so many people want to go to law school without a true understanding of what the life of a lawyer is like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
