AWC: "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."
Me: Nail on the head. They are not only NOT attorneys, they are barely human to hear my friend tell it.
I took a friend out to lunch yesterday who clerked for a magistrate judge last year to cheer him up. He went to a TTTT, got the job completely by connections, and did only pretty well at said school. Suffice it to say that in trying to find a job within arguably the most competitive legal market in the country, he's finding it tough. He also has to eat so he's working as a K atty.
Wow, I thought the rumors were, well, just rumors. He tells me that he and his compatriots are housed at an off-site warehouse in a large, badly-ventilated, dimly-lit, windowless room. They are literally made to "work" in virtual silence for hours at a time before taking bathroom breaks -- too many of which will result in immediate dismissal. Sometimes they are sent home inexplicably at, say, noon because the work has dried up or the client is trying to save funds. Any diversion from the stated norm is, um, "frowned upon." No phones, no internet, no escape.
Perhaps this is what John McCain went through in Nam.
Are large document productions modern-day prison camps?
