Where are the news stories about boomers giving up the country club memberships and luxury cars and vacations "that they've earned!" in order to help out those who they "earned" them from?<br /><br />Oh right. There aren't any. Because a boomer who isn't greedy would make fucking headline news.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-53007965590224516542013-06-14T20:40:01.302-06:002013-06-14T20:40:01.302-06:00"As law schools ponder how they might better ..."As law schools ponder how they might better prepare students to meet the increasing demands of legal practice [which are??}, they need to go back to basics and consider the greater role that practical legal writing should play in building practice competence."<br /><br />Really.<br /><br />The shills are still at it. Practice competence isn't going to be learned in a school... and anyway, it assumes a viable practice. Teach writing skills all you want, it's not going to increase demand. It's a collapsing profession. I adopted the plain language practice and stopped saying "To the Honorable Judge of Said Court" in my petitions and immediately acquired two Fortune 500 clients this week. My neighbor loved my argumentative subheadings and decided he wanted a personal-injury lawsuit of his very own, and threw himself down the steps of the local shopping mall so I could file a well-written petition just for him.<br /><br />How 'bout teaching the lemmings how to write a convincing petition for bankruptcy relief and student loan discharge? Or how to write a stirring Letter to the Editor warning fellow lemmings to stay well away from this profession. Now that's writing with a purpose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-1629135069686132772013-06-14T20:06:49.565-06:002013-06-14T20:06:49.565-06:00The corrupt Judge Lippman apparently started a tre...The corrupt Judge Lippman apparently started a trend. Take down and out graduates facing lifelong debt and the most important and stressful standardized test of their lives and force them to work for free for a few weeks before bar admission.<br /><br />Then, once they do the pro bono, those same bar organizations block them from referral services due to lack of experience. So, these hordes of nonexperienced grads can work for free but not for any money.Adam Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458070600725040309noreply@blogger.com
