昨晚我的室友请一些同学过来讨论在哪个律所工作比较好。讨论纪要如下。(That's why I hate this kind of discussion and why I hate pizza)

Champagne --> More champagne --> Pizza, large --> Bar experience --> Boobies showing at the bar

Wine and Cheese --> Name one law firm that is going to be referred to as the mother f***er tonight --> The presidential campaign --> Fake Republican --> Fake Catholic --> Fake Asian --> Fake Orgasm --> Fake Asian Orgasm

Veggies and Rice --> Find out who want to work in NY, CA and other places --> Find out who want to do transaction work and who wants litigation --> Which law firm doesn’t cap pro bono hours --> 5 law firms that we don’t want to work for --> The difference between a sweatshop and other law firms since they all make you work very long hours --> Work-life balance --> Doubt whether there is such a thing as work-life balance --> Cravath has not too bad hours--> Beer --> LA firm that has good IP practice --> The difference between hard and soft patent work --> It’s amazing to talk about Hard and Soft with a P-word after it --> Cheers

Brownies --> Cakes --> Jones Day doesn’t pay according to how much business you bring in --> The mother f***er is somebody’s favorite firm --> Milbank is a good place to work --> The most amazing summer job is to work for a judge who presided in a child pornography case and had to excuse himself because he’s involved in a porn scandal himself

More beer --> The law firm that wants women to be women and dislike a firm handshake from a woman --> Butt grabbing at a law firm reception --> The law firm that has 18 weeks of maternity leave --> Social problem --> A girl being a social problem --> Drunk --> Bar talk

A 1990 study at Johns Hopkins University found that of 28 occupations studied, lawyers were the most likely to suffer depression, and were more than 3.6 times more likely than average to do so. A Harrison Barnes, Builders and Destroyers (citing W.W. Eaton, J.C. Anthony, W. Mandel & R. Garrison, Occupations and the Prevalence of Major Depressive Disorder, 32 J. Occupational Med. 1079 (1990).

A research study of 801 lawyers in the State of Washington found that 19% suffered from depression. Barnes, supra (citing G.A.H. Benjamin, E.J. Darling & B.D. Sales, The Prevalence of Depresion, Alcohol Abuse, and Cocaine Abuse Among United States Lawyers, 13 J. Law & Psychiatry 233 (1990).

A quality-of-life survey by the North Carolina Bar Association in 1991 revealed that almost 26% of respondents exhibited symptoms of clinical depression, and almost 12% said they contemplated suicide at least once a month. Michael J. Sweeney, The Devastation of Depression.
The data are two-decade old. I imagine it is worse now.

没有关于离婚率的统计吗?我猜律师们的离婚率在所有职业中也是排在前面的。

幻儿,做移民律师比较好,没有那么大的压力。不过,这种没有太大挑战的工作,你们这些高才生也不感兴趣吧? :mrgreen:
