Some of these lawyers have top records and were pushed out of the legal profession on account of the up or out policies, and some are women who took time off with their kids and cannot get back in.<br /><br />This is a policy question that the ABA should come down hard on. Where is a 50 year old woman or minority lawyer from Michigan Law School going to work? There is almost no market for this person in today's legal profession. <br /><br />A lawyer several years out of law school who does not have the very specific expertise required for experienced legal jobs that are open will not be able to work. The field of entry level legal jobs is glutted and it will be difficult for that lawyer to compete. The problem is that the practice areas where the legal jobs are change over time, so the 50 year old may have been trained in a practice area where there is little demand today.<br /><br />Why have a blanket prohibition on lawyers in paraglegal jobs when the alternative for most of these lawyers is long-term unemployment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-9725944092182586462013-02-15T06:21:24.406-08:002013-02-15T06:21:24.406-08:00+100 +100 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-87383856059388708412013-02-15T05:03:22.978-08:002013-02-15T05:03:22.978-08:00That point was raised as a counter to the argument...That point was raised as a counter to the argument of law being versatile. It shows that the DA refuses to hire paralegals who are lawyers.<br /><br />I'm not saying it is a bad policy. I don't care one way or another and they are different jobs. <br /><br />Just that being a lawyer means you can't be a paralegal. Many people tell the unemployed lawyers that they should just get jobs as paralegals and stop complaining.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-74922433342227820772013-02-15T04:13:15.481-08:002013-02-15T04:13:15.481-08:00Oh my god, AGAIN?

The ONLY thing that makes the top 14 the "T14" is consistency. And the only thing keeping a school like Vanderbilt, Texas or UCLA from having similar numbers is a school like Georgetown filling enough slots for two schools. If a significant number of those high LSATS go to say, Vanderbilt (which has a small class size and had seen LSATs rising for a number of years now) one year, then there is a possibility that G'town could fall out of the top 14. They would be the first and only school to ever fall out of that category, which is watched like a hawk by 0LS. A drop could be seen as weakness, and at the worst possible time as apps are plummeting.<br /><br />They're locked in the fight of their lives. With this ham-handed move, they may have just fumbled the opening kickoff inside of their own ten yard line.<br /><br />If I'm negotiating with them, I'm going to seize upon this and protect my future family. Who needs that 20,000 more? Myself and my family? Or the law faculty of Georgetown University?

And in the end, I wound up turning down Minnesota's free ride for a school ranked well down the list. It happens, especially when one buys the fraudulent BS that mid-tier schools were putting (are putting) out about solid job prospects. I never wanted a $160k high-stress BigLaw gig. I wanted a government attorney job or a JD-advantage business position. I figured I was a shoe-in to be near the top of the class and be first in line at the job fair to snag those pretty $75k gigs. I was sort-of right.<br /><br />So St. Thomas is a bad example, but consider that Loyola (Chicago) offered me only a 1/2 scholarship instead of the full thing. They were my number one choice in Chicago until I got that letter. I had no idea you could actually bargain with these clowns, and I had little incentive to do so since I had 5-10 other schools throw money at me, and I thought going to most of them would be a great career move.<br /><br />At least for me, law school was like a carnival game where the rules were not explicitly clear until you knew you had lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-31096960366334150092013-02-14T21:47:01.731-08:002013-02-14T21:47:01.731-08:00Actually, you pay them, to get real life experienc...Actually, you pay them, to get real life experience with teaching.

Why is a lawyer automatically disqualified from paralegal work? <br /><br />There seem to be more open paralegal jobs than lawyer jobs right now. The open lawyer jobs mostly require very specific skills that most lawyers do not have and that a lawyer can only acquire by being hired to work as a lawyer in that specific area for years. Very limited numbers of lawyers meet the qualifications for most open legal jobs. Most lawyers do not have the necessary experience and cannot do anything to get the necessary experience to qualify for the vast bulk of non-entry level legal jobs.<br /><br />Not true for paralegal jobs. There is a much bigger group of people that meet the qualifications for a paralegal job because those jobs do not require that very specific experience. <br /><br />It would benefit the legal profession greatly to open all paralegal jobs to lawyers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-31651161090566035442013-02-14T18:14:20.150-08:002013-02-14T18:14:20.150-08:00One syllable too many in the last line.
