Five. Five Dollar. Five Dollar Ad-Viiiiiice
Today, Craigslist brings us the latest example of a (soon-to-be) lawyer trying to make it work in this difficult economy. Here’s the ad: I am an experienced law student willing to answer your legal questions. The fee is $5 per question. To take advantage of this offer email your question to [Redacted]. You will then […] -

Job-seekers Paying Recruiters: Hot New Trend?
Earlier this month, duty called us to a midtown Manhattan bar to cover a Pink Slip Party for our sister site, Dealbreaker. Geared toward those laid off from Wall Street, the “party” was a depressing scene meant to bring job-seekers together with potential employers. There were more recruiters than potential employers around, though, and there […]

Funny Craigslist job listing makes us sad
Apparently, many ATL readers are conducting their job searches via Craigslist, because this posting has appeared in our inbox more frequently than lobster references in the comments. We’ve already mentioned it in Non-Sequiturs, but we’re returning to it to beg you to stop sending it to us, and to give you the story behind it. […] -

University of Michigan Law Student Should Have Come to ATL First
I know a lot of readers think we have an ax to grind with the University of Michigan Law School (even though we take pot shots at Head Coach Sweater Vest at every opportunity). We like Michigan. Maybe if more U-M Law students trusted that, a certain student would have come to ATL instead of […] -

3L: Ready For Some Action
We’ve discussed the terrible market for 3Ls, but one D.C.-area law student is taking matters into her own hands. From the source of all that is wonderful, the Craigslist personals: Are you a lonely lawyer? – 24 Maybe we can do something about that. I’m an ambitious 3L at a good school, and I’d really […] -

A Little Craigslist Legal Love Moment
Sometimes it’s a lonely, lonely world, and you have to grasp at any little flicker of love. Thus exists Craigslist Missed Connections.

the many uses of craigslist
Faced with a challenging job market, law school students are turning to the web. See, e.g., 3L for Hire. And now they’re advertising on… craigslist? Well, if it’s good enough for law firms — at least the kind that require the ability to lift 25 pounds — it’s good enough for students, too. From the […] - Sponsored

Beware of all legal job postings that require new clothes heavy lifting.

Experienced professional demeanor in client contact both in person and on the telephone is a must. Ability to work and adapt […] -

Help Wanted: Legal Sexpert Sought
You can find the weirdest s**t on Craigslist: I’m creating a proposal for a downtown performance art show based on US sex laws – the quirkier the better. There are many lists online of these laws, but it’s really hard to find the actual statute or case number. In some cases, they either don’t exist […] -

But What About the Dads?
A tipster drew our attention to this Craigslist posting, to which he appended a single line of commentary: “Discriminatory? Ha Ha.” It seems that only the title of the posting implicates motherhood. The main body of the listing refers to the candidate as “he or she,” and the job responsibilities do not require a maternal […]

'The Supreme Court Clerk of My Heart': Not Talkin' About Pam Talkin
We recently posted about an amusing Craigslist “Missed Connections” ad (text here; no longer available on CL itself). It was posted by a lovelorn, 30-year-old male, with a crush on a female Supreme Court employee who shows up to oral argument in tails. We wondered whether our poster might have a crush on Pamela Talkin, […] -
