&..."FYI, I'm still not a professor."<br /><br />"Pushkin":<br /><br />Finally, your guess about my occupational role has the same staggering brilliance as the rest of your “insights.” I taught in law school many years ago (and was tenured), but the work was too easy and too boring, the money was not very good, and I had to spend a lot of time around people spouting silly things like you. Like Irving Younger, I decided that “someone has to teach these people, but by god it does not have to be me.” <br />So good luck to you NNTPF. As the proverbial Cambridge Don put it when challenged to a debate by a proponent of Intelligent Design, “that would do a lot for your C.V., but it wouldn’t do anything for mine.”<br />By Pushkin on 2011 05 29, 9:55 am CDTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-80060726478032545902013-03-23T18:17:05.876-06:002013-03-23T18:17:05.876-06:00"Misspelling "Leitner" was an inspi..."Misspelling "Leitner" was an inspired touch, Brian.

I don't quite get that part.<br /><br />Go for it. Find my IP address. Dig, dig, dig. Shovel through all the dung you can find to prove I am someone in your fantasy-world who gives you nightmares over your decision to be a cop-out and to give up.<br /><br />Who knows? Maybe I AM Leitner and therefore, it's okay to be a cop-out and a self-confirmed loser. Show mommy and daddy I am Leitner so that they will be proud of you once again. Seriously.... nobody is happy for you being a cop-out. <br /><br />Get over it. You are no special snowflake, and nobody cares if you're a loser or not. Mommy and daddy care, but they don't know what to do for their poor, miserable son or daughter. So, their hopes are dashed, too.

He’s just a mouthpiece for the whinings of self-important twenty-somethings who picked a bad time to play out the “what’s the easiest thing to do next with my life” strategy, and found that they weren’t competitive at the next level, particularly in a world of shrinking opportunities. Such people think throwing tantrums will cause daddy or mommy to make it stop hurting, but that part of life is over and isn’t coming back.

Invariably, they started as associates in law firms or as junior in-house attorneys, and developed the reputation needed to get business as a solo. Without exception. Nobody in my field would hire someone who had just graduated from law school and just hung out a shingle.<br /><br />"For those who say it can't be done, the world needs losers so the winners can know the difference between winners and losers."<br /><br />Well, that's good, since a whole bunch of law professors are going to be losing their jobs over the next few years. It will be interesting to see how many "winners" and how many "losers" there are among the law professoriate, as they are forced to seek alternative employment.<br /><br />P.S. You really need to lose some weight.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-74356835871916141602013-03-23T16:28:47.500-06:002013-03-23T16:28:47.500-06:00Here you go.

Apparently, Campos figured out how ruinous this silly agenda had become to his own psyche, and he bailed after a while.<br /><br />Dybbuk, too, might actually do something right to help himself one day. And when he does, he will just "disappear" from the blogosphere of nay-sayers - just like the rest of them do. Dybbuk only needs to figure out when it's time to stop blogging and whining and instead, get back on track and keep pushing until he finds his own way. <br /><br />I know many people who have started solos right out of school and done very well. <br /><br />For those who say it can't be done, the world needs losers so the winners can know the difference between winners and losers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-42865511417846284802013-03-23T13:35:31.160-06:002013-03-23T13:35:31.160-06:00this could be a recurring series of post, to great...this could be a recurring series of post, to great effect. you should include Piety, michael livingston, glater, lawrence mitchell, dean katz, and others. have a "Hall of Shame" or announce some awards using an Oscar theme and have votes and awards. <br /><br />Best-JD-is-versatile performance. <br /><br />Best-don't-worry-about-debt-because-at-my-top-six-school-thirty-years-ago-we-never-did performance.<br /><br />Post photos of the profs who said it and let their words speak for themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-72828070257013083272013-03-23T13:20:36.919-06:002013-03-23T13:20:36.919-06:00Starting a solo practice straight out of law schoo...Starting a solo practice straight out of law school, or a small firm with others similarly situated, is an act of total desperation -- an invitation to disaster and ruination.Albert Rossnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-38578122890987195342013-03-23T12:29:14.561-06:002013-03-23T12:29:14.561-06:00Professor, have you ever started a solo practice, ...Professor, have you ever started a solo practice, or a small practice with "some friends"?
