Episode 49 - Chelsea Manning, Doc Review Hell, 3rd Year Apprenticeships

The Comedians at Law Podcast

This week Matt Ritter and Alex Barnett pair up for a powerpacked podcast. We discuss the flack Matt received for an article about prison life and why it's best for people to actually read column's before criticizing them (we're talking about you, Norme De Guerre). We then discuss a contract review project in DC that has everyone talking about the horrible conditions of document reviewers, which Matt excellently covered on his Bottom Rung webseries. Finally we discuss whether to do away with 3rd year entirely and replace it with an apprenticeship..and we also find out how much Alex would pay for his son Ivan to attend law school. Hint - it's not a lot. Then Matt has an excellent interview with Marc Luber, who runs a great site callled JDCareersoutthere.com, he gives advice on law student and lawyer career paths and helps people find their true calling.
