Right there with ya. I can't even get interviews for HR jobs when I did some HR law. Overqualified for every non-legal job, but not enough experience (graduated 2000) to get any law jobs out there. It's enough to make a person want to panic.
If you have passed the bar, there's a host of cases that liberal lawyers won't touch. Most of your clients would be poor, hard-working, conservatives; but your potential opponents would number in the millions.
It might not pay much up front, but one good win against the land-grabbers, environmentalists, liberal NGOs, etc. might provide a nice grubstake and some publicity.
