Abstract

Law Graduates: The New Breed
Green, Mark | June 1, 1970 issue

add to cart   close window

Only a few years ago the third-year law student would trek to his chosen city to knock on law-firm doors and seek the privilege of a job. Then law firms began to interview at the schools, thereby implying a greater parity between employer and potential employee. That era, continuing until recently, often produced discriminatory candor: law review only; women not hired. For many students the trip from law school to law firm is a road of social avoidance, a sanitized, moneyed route that is irrelevant at best and unconscionable at worst. The reason for this new attitude is the misallocation of legal resources, a problem to which law firms have contributed.
