Are Solo Attorneys Losers?
To be fair, I think he glossed over lawyers who do not work in big firms, but keep practicing law (i.e., solos, state prosecutors, public defenders, etc). In the jobs he apparently holds in low esteem, none of those are jobs that must be held by lawyers. That said, I do not agree with his premise. Apparently if you do not work at silk stocking biglaw, you are not an elite attorney, and only elite attorneys are worthy of having the appellation “attorney”. I guess the rest of us are hacks, and woe unto them who have a J.D. and who work in “quasi-legal” jobs. I suspect he is not the first one invited to parties.
