Recessions and job prospects

<p>Yet another article, confirming the information provided to CC by practicing lawyers:</p>

<p>[Law</a> School Class of 2010 Starting Pay Fell 20% as Jobs Eroded, Study Finds - Bloomberg](<a href=“Bloomberg - Are you a robot?”>Bloomberg - Are you a robot?)</p>

<p>The legal-career paradigm has shifted, and continues to shift. It’s easy to blame the recession, but multiple factors are at play including the economics of supply and demand (there are too many lawyers, causing competition to push fees down). It appears that the market is starting to pick up for experienced attorneys, but it is clear that all is not well for the masses of new lawyers.</p>

<p>I may be relocating (boo hoo) shortly. Life is about to get very complicated, and I don’t think that I’ll be able to continue to offer my thoughts on CC. I apologise to anyone I’ve offended, and wish you all well.</p>
