This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
I see the JD a fair amount in policy circles where there are people who got the degree but aren't licensed and don't practice. That's usually because they have some other graduate degrees as well.

Alicia Florrick was a junior associate at the firm Crozier, Abrams & Abbott, where she had the highest number of billable hours for any associate. Sometime during her job, she met and eventually married Peter Florrick, who was at the time the Cook County State’s Attorney. After her two children were born, she left work to be a stay-at-home mother and a good political wife. But Alicia returned to the courtroom to support her family after a sex-tape disgraced her husband.

Arnie Becker was a partner at McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney and Kuzak. He did law stuff. In Los Angeles. He is on this list because the olds demanded it.

Glad it is working out toona.

I actually am glad I'm a lawyer. But it's only because I've stumbled into a job I like that has minimal stress. If prior to law school I knew that I had a 40h week job with benefits and a pension making just short of 100k I'd have been very pleased.

Of course if pslf goes away I'm gonna read the Turner diaries.

I loving hate it lately. My current cases suck rear end and are all bottom of the barrel dregs of putrid sewage, I'm stressed to hell over a case where I don't know if I'm doing too little or letting myself get pushed too far by my rabid client to do too much and I haven't slept well for ages. I really need to start lifting again. I want christmas :smith: and a new job.

Perhaps, but in the purest of all owns, we all yelled, "Don't crawl down into this pit of sewage!" and Toona said, "I'm coming down!" and then we all laughed at him for being covered in the same poo poo we are covered in, and then he climbed back out, but we're still laughing at him from the bottom of the pit for having ever crawled down here with us while he slowly but graciously cleans himself up.

Interviewing to transfer out of habeas and into full time jury work.

My main pitch: if you let me transfer, yes. You will have to backfill my job. But if you don’t let me transfer you will also have to backfill my job after I inevitably get arrested for punching any number of opposing counsel in the dick. At least with the former you still have someone who is not an old and knows how to use computers.

I feel good about this.

I for one think an LLM would broaden Toona’s employment opportunities and allow him to negotiate better compensation even in non legal fields as, like all law related degrees, the true benefit is the training in logical and lawyerly thought processes.
