Not when you don't give a crap about working in those oversaturated states. Those stats were actually very encouraging. Way better than I thought.

Re: Job Prospects State by State
Why are we bringing up an article that was already discussed months ago and deemed retarded?

Arizona, Alaska, Idaho and Utah are pretty strong markets for new attorneys it seems.

Re: Job Prospects State by State
Well I am also going on some personal knowledge in this regard since I know a couple of students at my school from Alaska that are heading back home to work. But still, not a big surplus.IAFG wrote:Alaska had 41 openings in the whole state...A'nold wrote:Arizona, Alaska, Idaho and Utah are pretty strong markets for new attorneys it seems.

The real winner here, looking at saturation and pay, is clearly Delaware.A'nold wrote:Well I am also going on some personal knowledge in this regard since I know a couple of students at my school from Alaska that are heading back home to work.

Re: Job Prospects State by State
DE's saturation is also somewhat deceptive because you have to have a 5 month internship under a DE licensed lawyer to be admitted to the bar there, so not many people are going to come into the state, pass the bar, then sit around looking for a gig, because anyone who makes a 5 month investment is probably a future employer.
That probably applies to Alaska to an extent as well though: people go to NYC, take the bar and hope for the best. No one is going to be doing that in Alaska, especially since there's no law school.

The methodology of this study may be the worst I've ever seen. It is insanely flawed. And we discussed this thing a long time ago.

Re: Job Prospects State by State
Yeah, that's kind of the sticky part, isn't it? I guess it might work with a state like Idaho or Utah though, if you have connections or go to a school looked favorably upon in those states.IAFG wrote:DE's saturation is also somewhat deceptive because you have to have a 5 month internship under a DE licensed lawyer to be admitted to the bar there, so not many people are going to come into the state, pass the bar, then sit around looking for a gig, because anyone who makes a 5 month investment is probably a future employer.

NY Times? I'm surprised they would publish such a flawed study. Their surplus assessment is based on bar passage rates. That makes no sense.

I know almost nothing about stats or studies (took a Poly Sci Research Class five years ago that I remember nothing from), but the study is so flawed on its face that I feel confident ripping it to shreds.MrKappus wrote:Buncha talentlesslawyerslaw students talking about study design.

Re: Job Prospects State by State
Wasn't this study the one that said their weren't many lawyers in dc because few people take the bar there? But almost everyone in dc takes their local bar, so that stat is worthless. If you think there are too few lawyers on dc, I guess go ahead and believe the study.
Also I don't know where they get their numbers for jobs available, I think that there about 5000 jobs in NYC alone but they have about 2000 for the whole state.
