Finding Legal Jobs Hard to Come by?

By
Given that all contributors to and members of the Legal Research Society will at one point in the near future have to start some sort of organised search for legal jobs, and suffer the inevitable despair and frustration this brings with it, comfort may be found in the news that former Attorney General to Pres. George Bush and Harvard graduate Alberto Gonzales is finding legal jobs rather difficult to come by after being forced to resign. Today’s NY Times has the story.

"Head of State" starts Chris Rock as an unlikely democratic for the presidency of the United State, who goes on to win over the electorate by shunning the political point-scoring and spin employed by other candidates and speaking forthrightly about issues that really concern people. Could such a tactic work for the political underdog in Britain. The screening of this sassy political satire was followed by a discussion of the recent and the forthcoming political debate in Britain, as well as the General Election that w
