Did You Take the Bar Exam to Earn $10 an Hour?

Then this is the job for you! It is a full time entry-level position for recent law school graduates who just spent $5,000 to study and take the bar exam. You'll work in the Chicago Loop so no one will ever guess that you are getting paid slightly more than a fast food worker to practice law. Who cares about rent for a Chicago apartment, food, or those pesky student loan payments? Considering that U.S. Attorneys' offices across the country are hiring entry level prosecutors to work for $0, this is an opportunity you CANNOT pass up. Apply now!

Successful Manhattan Boutique Law Firm practicing in Criminal Defense and Immigration Litigation seeks several Legal Interns to assist its Attorneys and Administrative Staff. Although this is an Unpaid Internship for training purposes only, it can definitely lead to paid full time employment very quickly for the right candidates.

• This is a part-time job.
• This is an internship job

Here at BIDER, we teach our readers that if a law firm is unwilling to pay their interns, it is very likely that they are too cheap or do not have the money to take on a full-time associate. The reader who sent me this ad wisely remarked that if the firm has the money to pay people "very quickly" after starting this unpaid internship, and they've got the pick of thousands of lawyers with a ton of experience and hundreds more unemployed law students, why don't they just HIRE someone?! In this economy, it is not difficult to pick a good candidate when even document review requires 1-3 years of experience. These firms are clearly taking advantage of the imploding legal market and have no intention of paying anyone a decent full time salary anytime soon. Have fun working for free in Manhattan after investing $150k and three years for a JD!

If Doctors Had Similar Job Prospects as Attorneys

H/T to Esq. Never for sending me this hilarious Craigslist ad. Sounds similar to the shitlaw positions you find in the legal help section, doesn't it?

Brain Surgery Intern

Need a Brain Surgery Intern ASAP! I have just been diagnosed with a brain tumor and the doctor says that I only have 3 months to live unless I have brain surgery. This is an unpaid operation, but you will receive credit and snacks while you are operating. This is a good way to build up your resume by networking with others who need free surgery. If you do a good job, and I live, this may lead to future PAID surgeries!


If you have your own surgery tools and anesthesia, that is a plus and you move to the front of the line.


Please respond with a link to all of the operations that you have performed, transcripts from the universities that you attended, and a copy of your MCAT scores.
Please only respond if you are SERIOUS. You must be a team player and have your own car.
