Smart ass blogger employed at law firm this summer. Humorous reflections on the institutions of law school and the summer clerkship.

Ugh. I want to like lawyers, but then stuff like this happens.

The site doesn't seem good enough to merit ads. He sounds like he's 23.

I thought it was funny. I grimaced when I saw "smart ass blogger" but the guy is actually a good writer.

Ah, summer associates. Somewhere around the third year of after graduation they realize that the joke was actually on them...

Was it Tucker Max that wrote about similar experiences in a law firm?

Bwa ha, this guy is hilarious. The comments are somewhat ribald but probably not enough to get him fired (he is law review at UT after all, if this place doesn't want him I'm sure someone will). And the motion to transfer venue from room 57C to room 60A is amazing.

I've had a few lawyer friends in my times, the summer associate job is a real life version of that one lawyer joke.

Honestly the firms send out the youngest, prettiest associates to the law schools for recruiting, give them a salary equivent to a 1st year associate for those three months and let them work on the 'candy-in-cheek' pro-bono jobs for the poor and meek. Then they get hired after graduation, sending the rest of their life billing 80 hours a week and going through 0.5 metric tons of highlighters and post-it notes a year. "summer job is over, back on your heads"

Well, as long as we're talking about blawgs, might as well point some well deserved attention to Jeremy Blachman and the Anonymous Lawyer he created. The success of the blog got Jeremy a book deal.

As a future law student, I wish I could check out these links. Too bad I'm in China and they've apparently blocked everything with blog in the URL.
