Shakespere has suggested "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."Henry The Sixth, Part 2 Act 4, scene 2, 71–78 How unfair!
From the Washington times we learn that "Once the surest path to a six-figure salary and a life of luxury, a law degree in the aftermath of the Great Recession comes with far fewer guarantees, leaving many graduates with mountains of debt while confronted by a rapidly changing legal landscape." Only 86% of new law grads have jobs. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jun/17/unemployed-lawyers-sue-schools-over-promises-of-jo/
Oh, what a shame. What a great bunch of folks can't practice their chosen profession of extracting from poor people from all they have left, and billing rich people more than is just.
These people, with their (legal) license to steal have an average annual earning of about $110,000. Considering the numbers making really big salaries, there must be quite a group just scratching out a living. Oh, my.
From the SunTimes, we learn that 75 law school graduates across the country have sued more than a dozen law schools saying they were misled about prospects for employment and salaries after they graduated. See http://www.thesuntimes.com/newsnow/x1915458423/Productivity-of-attorneys Delightful. The turn of the screw?
I am so devastated. What a fine crowd of freshly polished, newly minted, people's advocates ready to bilk their neighbors, are unhappy. Oh, my oh my! Mind you, I'm not hostile in the least. I really believe they should join they should join the OCR (Occupy the Court Room) movement, protest, and seek redress. No doubt, both Democrats and Republicans would champion their plight.
P.S. There are 780,000 lawyers in this country. At $110,000 average annual earnings, this puts the annual legal fees for the USA at $85,800,000,000. Lots of money.
