New Lawyers Are Often Unemployed Or Challenged In Their Own Private Practice

Perhaps you've read some of the challenges that newly minted degreed law students are going through these days. After all that schooling and passing the bar, many cannot find meaningful work. Law firms simply are not hiring much. Worse, if they go into private practice often they can't make it as a small business person. There is too much competition, and due to economic forces beyond their control, not enough work. You'd think that lawyers would be the last career standing. Actually not, as even some bankruptcy lawyers are nearly bankrupt.

The other day I was discussing a similar issue with Ashley Gray, a legal writer of sorts. She noted that; "Recently, many law firms have been experiencing financial problems as the Internet challenges their ability to charge high fees and other countries begin competing for business," you see Ashley has been working on an article about "the business of law" and considering some of the interesting changes we've seen in the last decade, mostly due to the Internet.

Indeed, I must say that I "totally agree" with Ashley's premise, and in some cases I feel for young new lawyers who have had schooling and have to compete with perhaps bad legal advice online by non-lawyers (borderline as practicing law without a license), or less-than-knowledgeable lawyers.

Further, I am concerned due to jurisdictional variation of law, meaning you read something online and it simply doesn't apply - for instance, there are 24 "Right-to-Work states" and the employment and labor laws are different so someone could read something online and become misinformed - ouch! Yes, I know, that was merely one example, but you see my point, which is why I do believe Ashley has hit on an important set of points much apropos to what is happening now.

Still, as bad as it is to deprive a new lawyer of an ability to work, I also feel that maybe lawyers shouldn't charge so much and maybe if the "rules of law" were more open and available the lawyers would be forced to charge less, and therefore businesses could run more efficient and individuals wouldn't go bankrupt defending themselves, or pay all the money to lawyers rather than an injured party, or defending against frivolousness.

So, on one hand we have a very self-serving industry, which some say has hijacked the law and held it for ransom, then on another hand, we have bad legal advice online which is so darn pervasive that it's getting really difficult for individual internet users to find the relevant legal information they need. Please consider all this and think on it.
