Going to the courthouse and flipping through filings is really a matter of feast or famine. Some days, you get the wackiest stuff, like falling rappers.
That particular day, I still remember, was the day of weird ways to get injured. My running list that day included:
And I'm still adding to that list, by the way. Though unfortunately, today was not one of the days that The List saw much activity. It was kind of a slow day.
In the courthouse pressroom, one of the guys joked that hey, it was only Tuesday--maybe the lawyers were still out on their yachts from the weekend...
But the Trib's Ameet Sachdev gives a grimmer assessment of what Chicago lawyers are riding on now, and it's certainly not a yacht. In today's Chicago Law posting, he writes about one Chicago law firm that is giving its associates a 100K pay cut to work in-house for corporate clients... the alternative being, well, unemployment.
Sounds like most are taking the offer, and I don't blame them. 60-thou a year still sounds pretty good to me, but what do I know? I'm a journalist. I'll work for food and a byline. And page views.
Do me a favor and refresh.
