Re: Some things that can't be true _Angry white clerk November 29, 2007 09:00 am
No. The point of going to a higher tiered school is to avoid being one of those people. A better pedigree means that you won’t be a contract "attorney." I put "attorney" in quotes because they are not real attorneys and are a shame to America. Moreover, sometimes they are called "JD-Paras" or some crap to make it clear that they count as 3/5ths of a human. Law firms that hire them are engaged in an act of charity by employing these lazy lay-abouts (and teasing them with offers of employment) and teaching them the value of real work.

Once you are above it all, you can choose any job you want regardless of your qualifications.* Just like some people orgasm at the thought of helping their clients avoid criminal liability for anally raping the environment, some people like working with poor people accused of rape. (Obviously when rich people are accused of rape, local counsel must obtain the services of people that work at large firms.)

If you are a trust-fund baby, you can even afford to work for the lower classes.


*This isn't really true with the exception of one or two places.
