Horny Seton Hall Law Girl Takes to Craigslist
This is probably a joke. In fact, I’m almost sure this is a joke. Law school women don’t really talk like this, not on Craigslist. And law school guys are more than capable of satisfying their female classmates. Wait a minute, that last line is false — almost entirely false. Crap, does that make this […] -

The Barter Deal From a Law Graduate Craigslist Doesn't Want You To See
A posting on Raleigh’s Craigslist board has been flagged for abuse and taken down three times. This post doesn’t use profanity, it doesn’t offer illicit services, there’s really nothing offensive about it. The Craigslist moderators must just think that it’s a joke. But we’ve seen these type of ads before. A disgruntled law graduate goes […] - Sponsored

A Sign of Improvement in the Chicago Legal Market?
The economy is (hopefully) on the mend. The recession is officially over. There are signs of recovery in the legal sector, too. For example, law firms are giving away iPads to young associates. Such generosity seems very 2007 (if iPads had existed back then). Meanwhile, in the less glamorous world of Craigslist postings of legal […]

Would-Be LSAT Cheat Places Craigslist Ad for 'LSAT Stand-In'
There’s nothing like cheating on the LSAT to start off your legal career. Sure, even if you manage to get into and graduate from law school, you’re going to have serious problems when it comes to the MPRE. Or the Character and Fitness interview. Or the “following the law” part of being a lawyer. But […] -

Would You Work for a New York Law School Student... For Free?
Self-awareness: it’s a really important character trait. As you go about your day, your life, and your life’s work, it’s important to have an understanding of who you are and how you are perceived. But what if your self-perception is grossly misaligned with objective reality? Well, then things could get tricky. You might make a […] -

Firm Seeks Experts in Alcoholic Beverages
Usually when we report on jobs that have been posted on Craigslist, we’re talking about some kind of horrifying example of how the open market values attorneys at about the same level it values responsible high school girls. But today we have a legal job that most lawyers couldn’t have performed in high school. At […] -

Ode to an Adjunct Professor
Craigslist might have had to close down its adult section, but its Missed Connections area is still alive and kicking. And that’s a good thing, at least for one UC Hastings law student who had one stimulating lecture with an adjunct law professor teaching intellectual property. The lady was quite taken by the guest lecturer, […] - Sponsored

Duke Law Turns to Craigslist to Fill Key Administrative Role
If I reported that Duke Law School was turning to Craigslist to find its next dean, the U.S. News people would issue “revised” rankings to knock Duke out of the top tier. Heck, if I told you that Duke Law was looking for a new 1L contracts professor on Craigslist, at the very least that […] -

Craigslist Loses Its Eroticism
The “censored” box that Craigslist put over the “Adult Services” section of its website may have been a last hurrah before capitulating to demands from attorneys general that the section be eliminated. Today, the censored box disappeared from the site. The “adult services” section is gone, but two new services sections appeared: “cycle” and “marine.” […] -

Toronto Associate Finds Creative Way to Look Like He Belongs
Associates are under a lot of pressure these days. But we applaud those junior lawyers who respond to the current demands with initiative and creativity. We found just such an associate in Toronto. The man’s problems seem trivial to the outside world. His office is crappy. He needs an upgrade, but not because he wants […] -

A Pair of Craigslist Jobs: Getting Screwed (Chicago and D.C.)
Ah, Craigslist — grand repository and central clearinghouse for crappy legal jobs. The job postings, seeking expensively-trained lawyers at wages that a Starbucks barista would find insulting, just keep on coming. The latest laughable listing — which brings laughter, but also tears — comes from Chicago: We are looking for a recent law school graduate […]

A Passive-Aggressive Craigslist Ad
A reader drew our attention to a mildly amusing “help wanted” ad on Craigslist. Says our source: “Now that I’m a lawyer myself, who previously worked for an a**hole boss, I find this ad for a new legal assistant pretty funny. You can tell he thinks his boss is an anal-retentive douche, but doesn’t know […] -

Desperate times call for measures to take advantage of the desperate. Why pay California lawyers $10 an hour when they’re willing to work for free?
