Very shortly all the law student interns will be signing up for the action-packed week of tawdry speed-dating known as on grounds interviews (OGIs).The last couple of weeks at LAJC, we'll all be gorging ourselves on virtuous legal work...fattening up our souls before we offer them up on the auction block for bidding by the purveyors of corporate greed...Big Law.
You see, the way the economics of it works, the more virtue we can pack on this summer, the more vice Big Law will have to shower us with next summer as they seek to seduce us into finally signing away our souls. And while some Big Law firms prefer to avoid all that work, and bypass candidataes who still have consciences to assuage, the best ones know that if they can purchase the allegiance of people with a well developed sense of duty, they can use that to their advantage as they squeeze the pulp from their junior associates.
Ah, yes...when our Big Law firms next summer are showing us a lifestyle would make Dennis Kozlowski blush, that's when all this do-gooding will really pay off. For us, I mean.
