Two Cautionary Notes

The weather has been beautiful, the DOW has been up for over fifty hours, and spring break is right around the corner. Not to be a debbie downer or anything, but I'd like to share two tidbits from my afternoon.

First, this list from The Shark. It is a compendium of information from various law blogs about layoffs and shortening of summer programs. The list is disturbingly long, but The Shark has made it handily alphabetized and searchable via your browser's toolbar, so you should be able to cut straight to your firm and get right down to chewing your fingernails and devouring comfort food.

If you're still feeling cheerful, The Shark has also has an ongoing feature of 3L's who are jobless and hunting.

Second, let's not gloat about the recent spike in the DOW, okay? I sat through part of a conversation today wherein two people seemed to genuinely believe that the worst is behind us. They explained how in theory, this kind of jump is "all it takes." To which I reply (quoting America's greatest aphorist): "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is."
