* Only 23 percent of law school grads think their education was worth the cost. That number seems high. [CNBC]

LAW FIRMS SHOULD PROVIDE STUDENT LOAN ASSISTANCE TO THEIR LAWYERS: ATL-Columnist Jordan Rothman is significantly younger than me and thus might not have learned all of the lessons from Bendini Lambert and Locke. But, trust me, if a Firm offers to pay your debts and buy you a house in Memphis... rest assured that there's an Albino monitoring your every move.
