Readings That Remind Us of Class

This topic seems to have taken off a little, which is nice. I'm thinking that in the interest of usability, it might be worthwhile to a) break this topic into subtopics, for example by link topic (e.g. Law School, Politics, Lawyer Stories, etc), which would allow for some more discussion on related topics (rather than the free-for-all we have now), and b) to make those subtopics available under this page and linked to from this page (because I think it would be pretty that way). This would also allow the integration of a number of orphan posts from a few weeks ago, including the last link discussion which is somewhat towards the bottom of the index and hasn't been changed since January. What do you think?

 Do people really believe that, even at the top law schools, they're entitled to a 160K job? No profession other than law allows 25 year olds to make that kind of money with no relevant work experience and by judging them on one year of grades and a name. We are basically handed summer associate positions at EIP next fall- that is a deal that is too good to be true and anyone who has even a toe in the real world should have known it wasn't going to last.

This article anticipates our class discussion of the Leff piece. Saks Fifth Avenue's new ad campaign uses "wit and whimsy" to get customers back into their stores. After all, customers can still have "fun" during "serious times."

FOR EXAMPLE, although the average customer can no longer afford to buy both a new tunic and a matching belt, Saks "wittily" and "whimsically" suggests the customer buy the tunic and use her husband's "old tie" as a belt. Lovely!
