Too many damn lawyers as it is...

[the invisib1e hand]

ogawd my heart just bleeds for these privileged little sh!ts.

[Thrownatbirth]

That’s like saying hammerhead sharks have only a 50-50 chance of reaching full maturity.

[rbg81]

It would worry me a lot more if they were ALL employed.

[driftdiver]

They’re all a bunch of sluts anyway.

[West Texas Chuck]

Screw them, us old guys face the same brutal job market.

It is dog eat dog everywhere, and I’m supposed to have sympathy for some ambulance chaser? Ain’t happening.

[Bshaw]

“Law Grads Face Brutal Job Market”

I think all grads face a brutal job market!

[RegulatorCountry]

Well, they’re unfortunately necessary at times, lawyers are, like plumbers or proctologists, but without nearly as much in the way of redeeming qualities.

The most favorable reaction I’ve ever had as a plaintiff was pure unmitigated relief at being out of their clutches as far as billable hours.

I have more sympathy for Pit Bulls.

Not sure how this fits, but it seems relevant:

[ozzymandus]

Gee, too many lawyers? My own attorney got disbarred (allowed to retire) a few years ago for stealing from clients, and I havent bothered to look for another one.

[O6ret]

Let’s see...that’s an example of the law of diminishing returns.
Or is it the law of supply and demand?
Or the law of demand inelasticity?

[Chode]

why do they need somebody to hire them, why don't they just hang their shingle outside their house and work from home???

[bill1952]

> Several law-school deans cautioned against placing too much emphasis on jobs requiring a law degree.

LOL! As an engineer, I caution against placing too much emphasis on jobs that require an engineering degree!

Who needs that anyway??

99% of the lawyers ruin it for the other 1%.

[MrEdd]

That right there’s funny. I don’t care who you are.

[goodnesswins]

Wait until we make people have LEGAL Insurance....just like we are required to have HEALTH insurance.....

[SuperLuminal]

Finally! Some good economic news.

[central_va]

What do you call a bus full of lawyers going over a cliff?

A shame.

What do you call a bus full of lawyers going over a cliff with one seat empty?

A crying shame

[fatnotlazy]

When I started working for attorneys almost 40 years ago, I was told that the legal profession was virtually recession-proof.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

[dfwgator]

Offshoring is a factor, a lot of the grunt work formerly done by newly graduated associates, can now be offshored, therefore there is not as much need for firms to hire new law graduates.

[Red6]

Well, they can always look for a job with the Democrat party!
