<p>Actually, some have argued that students who applied to law school after 2008-9 should have been well-aware of the employment situation considering the MSM coverage the downturn in the legal industry has received…including 2 articles in the NYT. </p>
<p>However, for those who applied before that or worse…graduated into that recession, they’re in the same boat. One friend who graduated law school in 2008 and was one of the few from his graduating class to maintain his employment as a full-time attorney. </p>
<p>However, it’s at a non-profit making ~$30k/year and he’s been saddled with around a half-million in combined undergrad*/law school debt due to magic of compounding interest. </p>

</ul>
<p>This has NOTHING to do with the employment difficulties for newly graduated lawyers. A law firm that has bucket shops will always have bucket shops, there always have temps. Since day one America has lawyers, there always be some one who is un-employed, some one got “temp” job and some one got the crown jewel, even in the height of the depression or 2008 crash.</p>
<p>The matter in front of me is clear, that is whether “temps” should crash a party without invitation. IMHO, if you are not invited, employee or no employee, it is wrong to crash a company party. Why the long discussion?</p>
<p>Basically, an uninvited guest crashing a party is like trespassing someone’s home.</p>
