No figgiti's here.

"George Judge"??? Are you series?

Has Pace not looked at the economy?

I hate to say this, but along with the banks, I think law school administrations need to start being held accountable for their actions. They're putting way too many kids into way too much debt just to line their own pockets.

I suppose I should know the answer to this question, but is Pace Law School fully accredited by the American Bar Association and a member in good standing of the Association of American Law Schools?

Yes, it is all about wealth. But nobody fricken gets it. I floated Elie's idea of making interest rates on student loans 0% or doing something to make school more affordable to my Senator. I got a letter back stating that he favored making school affordable. That is why he supports increasing funding for student loans so that everyone can get them. The people in charge have a fundamental misunderstanding of the situation. The schools and the banks make out like bandits.

loudon county? i don't think many young lawyers live there.

So now we have a self-professed lawyer trying to assist child traffickers in San Diego. On videotape. Not too hard to find info about him either: http://cvesdreporter.blogspot.com/2008/06/parents-and-acorn-stage-rally-at-castle.html

But I guess it's more interesting to report on what a 20 year old New Yorker is eating for dinner and some lawyer in the south sleeping off a binge in a garbage can. Great job, ATL.

My life is so pathetic. Normal people do not act this way.

Why yet another article on ATL abot the Yale gad student? Its a tragedy, but there are no lawyers or law students involved - it is not as if she was murdered in the library at YLS and hidden in a wall.

I this a manifestation of someone's onbsession with WGWAG?

Lawyers sleeping in garbage cans is great stuff. Don't you have a birther rally to go to?

If this post ends in 2 we're all getting laid off

re :12

shit

Congress can do all it wants to Joe Wilson, but it can't change the fact that the people are turning against Obama and the Democrats.

16 makes a great point

You better hope you're wrong, 14, for your sake because if the GOP ever returns to power it will ruin this country.

15 for the win

"Mancini believes part of the appeal of the Washington area is . . . a moderate climate . . . ."

Mancini has clearly never spent a summer in DC. Or a winter.

11=Almost every Senate Democrat voted to cut funding to the organization and tons of governors of both parties are taking action too at the state level. Are they all "birthers" too?

8 - If we could all be "self-professed" lawyers, we could avoid the student loans and go straight from college to being laid off by Latham.

Judge Land's decision was hilarious. Smackdown on Taitz.

Also, @8: Did you see Jon Stewart's take on the ACORN sting? Check it out on Comedy Central and tell me if he's a birther too.

I lived in DC for a few years after law school - it was fun.

My advice to any young lawyer living there is, "Get out while you are young!"

Your jobs may pay well, but the cost of living, DC wage tax, and cost of property take most of that away. As you get older, people come and go so much that it is difficult to make many lasting friendships. The social scene is cool if you are in your 20s, but there is no real community in DC, and it is tough to get involved with a lot of activites as you get older and don't want to get wasted 3-4 times a week. And it is no place to raise a family- good schools, doctors, etc all require decades of connections.

For anyone who missed Stewart's ACORN tirade:

22,

The loss of people like you have left DC a better plance. Thanks for vacating!

23-exactly. Why is ATL so chickenshit to report on it? There would be plenty of commenters bashing the annoying video creators and such, so at least blog the story, for chrissakes. At this point, any explanation about why ATL didn't include it (at least in Morning Docket) would be embarrassing.

Hey now!

Hey now!

Today, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said House and Senate appropriations committees and the appropriations conference committee on the HUD spending bill should investigate ACORN.

I guess Pelosi is a birther.
