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 la2 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 05:00:00 GMT Many junior attorneys work incredibly hard for four years to get top grades at first-tier law schools, work on law reviews, and get offers from prestigious firms. http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70175/How-to-Survive-an-Unplanned-Relocation-to-Join-a-Future-Spouse la3 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 05:00:00 GMT Try to list professions that inherently expect their members to give portions of their time to the underprivileged for free; it will probably be a short list.

But why is it that lawyers, unlike many other prominent professionals, are expected to provide free legal services to the disadvantaged?

They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race. The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ. The hare woke up and realized that he'd lost the race. http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70179/The-Story-Doesn-t-End-There la7 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 05:00:00 GMT Employers Want to Hire You Think about it. When an employer takes the time to line attorneys up to interview you and bring you in to speak with them they must be pretty eager to hire someone.
