Dismal news for the legal job market!!!!

Post by hmar78 » Thu Aug 27, 2009 12:40 am

Hey guys, by now im sure many of you have read this NY Times article.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/26/busin ... l?_r=2&hpw

I must say I was one who always thought that the legal profession was bulletproof. Shows how much I know.

Are any of you out there feeling the pain like the people mentioned in this article??

This pretty much affirms my new found love of the University of Buffalo for its super cheap $16,000 tuition. I don't think I'm even gonna consider any school unless it gives some major scholarship money or professes a tuition below 30k a year.

Even more dismal news is that you are surprised that times are tough in the legal world.
