Double Dip Recession
The double dip has hit. Firm hiring this fall will revert to the same levels as fall 2008 and 2009. It may in fact be worse than that since the firms may finally learn what new normal means. Your CSO won't tell you this until late August. You heard it here first.

I've actually been kind of freaking out about this possibility.

My dad's lawyer scoffed when he told her I was going to law school. Followed by a "well, good luck to her..."
Not what I need to hear right now.

I wouldn't call it a horrible choice, but yeah, if you're not entrepreneurial the pyramid structure will chew you up. I have an uncle, he's a scumbag basehead lawyer, does pi [note: people confuse PI = public interest with PI = personal injury. The latter is now lowercase] and other random discrimination shit. Millionaire. Then I know a friend who finished Vandy in 09 and works at Enterprise Rent-a-Car. It's just temporary.

Re: Double Dip Recession
Layoffs and reduced hiring typically start in the banking sector then run to law which always takes awhile to catch up to the trends.

Re: Double Dip Recession
Actually, NPR has been talking about the double dip for weeks. I think things won't be as bad as just after the burst, but they won't be too great either.MrAnon wrote:The double dip has hit.

Re: Double Dip Recession
This site is so confusing. One moment. Everyone is like "ITE is over" and "it will never be 2006-2008 hiring, but it will be like the early 2000s". Now, everyone is saying we are heading towards another blow up? How will I be able to decide when to go to law school!?

Re: Double Dip Recession
Several economic indicators are still looking good, and law firms themselves are predicting increased hiring.
All of this talk of a "double dip" is way overhyped. A few economic indicators have been down, but by and large, the economy is still growing... and a recesion means, by definition, that the economy isn't growing.
This is a stupid thread.

Re: Double Dip Recession
Meh. Half the things I have read said that a double dip is likely and the other half have put the possibility of a second dip at about a quarter.
Either way, this is making me want to get a job for 2-4 years then attend law school rather than potentially risk paying for law school tuition and getting nothing out of it.

Anyone who pays for law school is risking that they'll get nothing out of it. Do it now, do it later, it will always be a massive risk.lawyerwannabe wrote:Meh.

Re: Double Dip Recession
there's going to be a shload of weird economic data for the next 1.5 years, because the Republicans want a shit economy for the election. The only major indicator that people are basing this on is jobless claims, and they didn't get worse, they just didn't fall as much as expected. Construction is slowly improving and building permits are up, so there should be a construction bump in 2-3 months. I'm not too worried, because I'm pretty sure it won't affect SA hiring for '12, but I'm with whoever said that it might affect offers.
Also, even if there is a double dip, it will be smaller and more regional in its effects.

I think our astute Dr. D.Wilde is pointing out the subtle fact that a penny saved is a penny stored for future use, when it's value will have greatly depreciated due to inflation.Desert Fox wrote:This logic is outstanding.D.Wilde wrote:Anyone who pays for law school is risking that they'll get nothing out of it.
