Sometimes All the Money in the World Won't Help You on the LSAT
Via Craigslist, we have a guy who maybe needs to give up the ghost on going to law school. He's probably a very nice person who is a credit to his family, but the experience might not be for him. Hopefully he figures that out before somebody takes him up on his $10,000 tutoring offer.... -

Who Uses An AOL Email To Cast A Lawyer Reality Show?
For the sake of Bravo, of reality television, of the legal profession in general, Elie hopes this Craigslist ad is fake. Because if it's not, that means that Bravo is putting together a pilot for some kind of Beverly Hills-based, female-lawyer reality show, and the network is casting it on Craigslist through somebody who so has his finger on the pulse of whatever that he's still using an AOL email address. Hey, calm down L.A. ladies, he'll give you the damn email address in two seconds.... - Sponsored

You Want to Click That Mouse? Bite Me, Get a Warrant!
Before we get to the meat of this story, let’s quickly state the obvious: if you plan to commit a violent crime, you probably should not post details about it on Facebook or Craigslist.

Need A Rental? I Know A Sweet Apartment Going For Only $42,540.
There's been a sweet apartment deal on Craigslist for about a week, but we haven't been able to tell you about it because it took us a while to figure out where the apartment was. Oh, we knew the city (Boston). And we know there is an intense demand for $40,000/year plus, three-year rentals in the area. But now we know. You're not going to believe this, but the building and the price correspond to an area law school.... -

Partners for Sale on Craigslist
It’s no secret that the legal market is still in the tank. Unemployed associates have grown accustomed to scrounging the Internet for any and all job openings that might materialize - even sketchy postings offering $35,000 salaries to sharp dressers. Just how bad has the economy gotten? Bad enough that Craigslist isn’t just for associates anymore.... -

'Cause Every Law Firm's Crazy 'Bout a Sharp-Dressed Man
Back in June, we notified our readers about a fabulous job opportunity for attorneys in Philadelphia. There was one catch: the applicant had to be a "sharp dresser." In fact, "no casuals" need apply for this lucrative position. Lo and behold, the job listing has reappeared. And this time, if you're thinking of applying, you had better get your headshots ready.... -

A couple of days ago, we mentioned that Thomas Jefferson Law School had been sued, again. The school is already facing heat for its allegedly misleading employment statistics, and now it has also been caught up in sexual harassment litigation.

Being a 'Sharp Dresser' Could Help You Get This Job
Personally, I take a Quinn Emanuel approach to my sartorial choices. I try to not be overly concerned with one’s superficial appearance, and that starts at home. But I’ve come to learn that people who spend a lot of time with their face up their own ass in front of a mirror are also deeply […] -
