NY tops in out-of-work lawyers
The New York Post by Michael Billy - July 17, 2011
A law degree may not be worth the paper it's printed on. New York state has the largest surplus of attorneys in the nation, with more than four times as many legal eaglets passing the bar exam as there are available law jobs, according to data firm Economic Modeling Specialists. The total glut of lawyers last year was 7,687. California was a distant second, with a surplus of 2,951. "Applicants flock to law school, but they don't know the statistics," said Dewitt Liu, a 2008 Syracuse University Law School grad who now works in real estate.

Let the fun begin. So the crimes by these officers of the courts will have to increase. Times are tough, increase the crimes.
is that possibly why lawyers are so corrupt?
They have tremendous debt and low paying jobs to start, so they play the money game and not the Justice game?
ok, so I got something on you, now you have to be part of the Corrupt Bastards Club for life, don't worry the more you play the more money you make!
There's our answer to the judicial pay increase extortion. Let the unsatisfied Elite judges leave the bench. Many others wait to fill the slots at 1/3 the cost.
Wow, look at that, the above comment just decreased the State Deficit by millions, maybe even billions!

That is the very reason we have had crappy judges for years...the worse you are, the more political you want to become because you know that is how you circumvent practicing law and jump to those easy money-crackpot judgeships.
Because of this glut of lawyers...NY State may never be able to clean up or come close to establishing ethics...close all law schools for 10 yrs...please!
Let supply and demand work. These newly minted lawyers can bid on jobs as judges and we can watch judicial pay fall from its present $136,700 to a free market price. Dump the SCJC and its coming hearing about judicial pay. Open judges' jobs to free market bidding.
