Faklempt Friday

Way to go, Jess! You graduated law school today! I'm all faklempt -- and so proud of you!

It's probably the WORST economy to graduate into, but graduating law school is still a fantastic achievement!

Your classmates who have offers at firms had them deferred about six months, something that is unprecedented in law firm hiring culture, but I wouldn't worry.

There were massive firm layoffs in Boston fairly recently, but you might get some sort of offer soon.

Even people who are willing to work for free are having problems finding something...

Maybe you can get a job at JP Lick's to help pay your loans? Ok, this situation and the economy both stink, but you shouldn't take it personally.

Seriously, though: Great job, and good luck on the bar!
