Dear Legal Eagle, I am a third-year law student at a second-tier law school. I have found that many of my fellow students who are not in the top 10% of their class are not finding jobs through the on-campus interview process. What is the deal?

''Dear Legal Eagle, what are the benefits of working in the government as opposed to a law firm as an attorney?'' http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70144/Benefits-of-Working-for-the-Government-as-an-Attorney la2 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 05:00:00 GMT I am currently working in a mid-sized firm and am on track to become partner. Being a fairly new firm, there is no maternity leave and part-time policy in place. I am considering having a child, but still want to be considered for partner, while at the same time pioneering the path for a good maternity policy. Do you think I'll be able to achieve this, and, if so, how do I go about it? http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70162/Children-and-Working-in-a-Law-Firm-as-an-Attorney la3 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 05:00:00 GMT Q: I'm thinking of making a move to another firm that will give me a drop in pay, but I feel it will be less stressful. In your experience, is a 20% pay cut worth it if I end up happier? http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70168/Taking-a-Pay-Cut-Is-it-Worth-it la4 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 05:00:00 GMT Q: Will an LL.M. help my legal career? http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70169/Will-an-LL-M-help-my-legal-career la5 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 05:00:00 GMT The law school that I am thinking of attending offers a joint J.D./MBA program that I could theoretically finish in the same time it would take me to get my J.D. Should I take this opportunity? How would this increase my chances of getting a law firm job, since this is what I am sure I want to do? http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70174/J-D-MBA-Programs-and-Your-Legal-Career la6 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 05:00:00 GMT What is the optimal time to try a lateral move between law firms in different states?Signed . . .Moving http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70058/Q-Dear-Legal-Eagle la7 Mon, 17 Jun 2002 05:00:00 GMT What is the story with intellectual property law?
