Why isn't thread moderated
Point is, status-quo is beneficial for few and fatal for the normal citizenry.
It's about finding balance between the ideals we hold dear and the practicalities of the profession. And perhaps, as professionals, we can strive to reshape the system to better reflect the principles we were taught.
And the work itself seems very much clerical, which stunt growth of ideas within you. All this turns out totally opposite to the legal principles and ideas we study and progress through, in our law school journey. Am I the only one having this feeling and feeling disenchanted with the way things are?
Maybe it's not our education system not improving in accordance with the job market, but the job market conditions not getting better to match the idealistic standards of our education system?
