Back to school special – Podcast: September 2011
We’ve got a great “back to school” episode this month – featuring two segments about employment opportunities for law school graduates.
In our “On the Blawgs” segment we feature a post from the Above the Law blog about a promising new idea that may result in real-world experience for the newly graduated law school student.
In our “In the News,” segment we feature a recent news headline from Thomson Reuters News & Insight about the forecast for law firm associate positions to open up in 2012.
We also have our interview segment, with Bernie Codd, Intellectual Property Partner at McDermott, Will & Emery. We spoke with Bernie about the newly proposed patent reform bill and the impact it may have.
And in our “Chaos in the Courts” segment we have a strange story about a teen in Texas whose belief that he is a 500 year-old vampire landed him under a mental health hold with charges of burglary and assault.
You can listen to the episode now by clicking the Play button on the built-in player below, or listen later.
We’re also on iTunes (just enter “Legal Current” in the search box).
