Dear ABA Journal:

This is news? For the last time, I don’t care that some over-fed, arrogant, self-indulgent, preening, sycophantic law school grads may not receive the 6-figure bonus that goes with their 6-figure salary. In case you haven’t noticed, most lawyers are underemployed, and most new graduates are not employed at all – casualties of the economy and a broken system of lawyer production. Apparently law schools were competing to see who could crank out the most under-qualified graduates. It’s hard to say who won, but in the end everybody lost.

And in response to another commenter’s post

Dear Mr. McLeod

Why would you make such a snide comment? Based on your use of words such as “swimmingly” and “ladies and gents;” as well as your belief that lawyers need only be likeable to secure work, I am going to guess that you started practicing law before the profession became crowded and clients treated lawyers like merchants, haggling over ever dime. That said; I wanted to congratulate you on remaining safely within your comfort zone. Trust me; it isn’t as warm and fuzzy out here as it is in there. Happy Holidays.

Sincerely,
Practicehacker
