Thanks for the insight. More importantly, we look forward to your triumphant return to television. (For those who haven't heard the good news, Mike Judge and MTV just announced that Beavis & Butthead is coming back with all new episodes)
That's probably slightly less awful, but we've been interviewing a ton of candidates for "real life" stuff lately and are completely sick of these bullshit, contrived, self-serving answers. Just be honest. The stuff you're good at was enough to get you in the door. Being unable to demonstrate actual self-assessment and candor are far more likely to disqualify a candidate than any actual flaw.
We've watched every episode. The beginning scene of the pilot is actually him taking the LSAT, not the bar exam. It's only in a conversation later does the kid tell the other guy that he has passed the bar exam. Who cares about scores on bar exams? It's pass/fail for all intents and purposes. But as we've said, none of this matters as long as the show works as a drama. The real problem is that they're wearing thin the one-upsmanship. Every conversation is one person trying to show how much smarter they are than the other. They'd better come up with a new gimmick, because this one is getting tedious. But we still watch.
Because then you lose all the dramatic tension of them trying to keep anyone from finding out that the kid is a poser. Although even there, the only thing they're lying about is that he went to Harvard. The kid claims he actually passed the bar exam. If my 15 seconds on Google is right, though, you can't even take it in NY w/o a year of law school, so they could have had him drop out of law school instead of college and avoided the issue entirely while being consistent with reality. That's a quibbling detail, though, and making him a college dropout is "cooler" (see, e.g., Zuck, Gates, etc.)
No, there have been a couple of upticks, including three months ago. But we're still down across the board year-over-year and there are all sorts of regular seasonal upticks (e.g., September when the BigLaw horde of first year traditionally started)
Excellent, thanks. Updated. We're no better than sticker appliers when it comes to proofreading, obviously.
No government could even afford to pay that much. It's 5x the US GDP.
Yoss LLP, formerly Adorno & Yoss, makes it to honorable mention because even though it wasn't in the AmLaw 100, it was the largest minority-owned law firm in the US. RIP.
