This weekend, hundreds of thousands of teenyboppers flocked to movie theaters for the premiere of The Hunger Games. In the film, based on a novel written by Suzanne Collins, teens in a post-apocalyptic world are selected to compete in televised battles against one another, and only one can survive.

Hm, that kind of sounds like what Biglaw interviews have come to in our own post-recession world. But would death matches be a more appropriate way to screen candidates? Apparently, at least one firm thinks so.

Here’s the photo for our latest caption contest….

We admit it. We have a certain fondness for poking fun at organizations like the Law School Admission Council, the folks who help run the law school show. Because, as you all know, it has been getting harder and harder to make a successful living with a law degree. That’s why we are excited, courtesy of a Chicago tipster, to have visual evidence of a new and innovative money-making use for the Law School Admission Council, or at least some of the organization’s giveaway swag.

The subject of this photo is not necessarily a lawyer, but let’s just say he is music to our ears.

Some people say that you’d have to be crazy to go to law school during these times of economic instability, but people keep going. Some go because they’re delusional — they think that they’ll be in the top ten percent of the class. Some go because they’re narcissistic — they think that they’ll get to listen to themselves talk for hours on end in a law school classroom. Some go because they’re masochists — they think that they’ll get beaten by the Socratic method and the curve.

Have law schools realized that their students may need psychiatric intervention?

Every year at the end of finals, law students contemplate doing crazy things with their books. While some people want to set them on fire, others want to roll up a page or two and just blaze. These are creative options for creative people.

Others will settle for the simplest solution possible, tossing those babies straight into the nearest trash can. But what happens when a law school does it for you?

Here’s the photo for our latest caption contest….
