B<\/em><\/strong>elow are a few ONEsies (odds-n-ends) piquing our interest this lovely mid-September morning, plus a handful of haiku by our Honored Guests culled from a new “joys of the seasons” collection with a riparian theme.\u00a0 Rather than wait to release them in one gushing punditry torrent, I’m going to drib and drab my blurb posting as the day “progresses” and my energy level and attention span wax and wane.\u00a0 So, please stop back to see what has bubbled to the surface.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>. . . \"\" lawyer career choices<\/em><\/strong>:\u00a0 L<\/em><\/strong>ong before this weblog existed, the alter egos now known collectively as the f\/k\/a<\/em> Gang were bemoaning the fact that too many of our best and brightest youths were choosing the legal profession as their default career (rather than choosing more productive and personally rewarding jobs) and doing it mostly on the basis of greed and misguided status-seeking (notions reflected, for example, in “1L of a Decision<\/a>,” Aug. 16, 2005, and the recent and much-ignored “EnvyEsq works too much<\/a>,” Sept. 4, 2008).\u00a0 In the wake of the Wall Street upheavals<\/a> of the past few day, blawgers Elie Mystal at Above the Law<\/em> and Scott Greenfield of Simple Justice<\/em> have been wondering — with their very different perspectives and audiences — if there are wise career choices and options for those already possessing law degrees.<\/p>\n
