?When you own and run your own business, you?ve already put too much
on the line to have to worry about losing everything you own in
addition to your business in the event of a lawsuit. It?s a fact, if
you earn more than 50K per year you have a 1 in 4 chance of being sued
in the next 12 months (USA Today), which means that it?s not a matter
of if you will be sued; it?s a matter of when you will be sued.?

within a law firm. Of graduates known to be employed, 58.1% obtained
their first job in a law firm. The percentage of graduates employed in
private practice has fluctuated only between 55% and 58% since 1993
and is well below the high of 64.3% for the Class of 1988.?

clerkships, and public interest positions, accounted for 27% of jobs
taken by employed graduates, slightly lower than the 27.6% figure for
the Class of 2001.?
