Law School Makeovers-
28. June 2009 by Jim Sutliff.
Law schools are growing further away from the legal practice every year. Professional schools should be close to their respective field like medical and business schools. A move towards more adjunct professors will increase the level of practical experience and lower costs. This will have the effect of lower tuition and a smaller debt load for students to carry. A smaller debt load is crucial for new graduates in the current legal market. Hiring needs are expected to decline over the next few years.

Delayed Job Offers-
6. June 2009 by Jim Sutliff.
Business Week reports that recent MBA graduates are facing delayed start dates of three to six months. The business school community is no stranger to this type of employment environment. The graduating classes of 2001 and 2002 were dealt the same hand with job offers. Some advice provided in Business Week for those with delayed start dates include an assumption that there will not be an eventual job. Therefore, continue your job search as though you do not have a position.
Recent graduates should also attend networking events in their chosen fields on a regular basis. Building a network one of the most important things a new graduate can accomplish. If a delayed start turns into a rescinded offer it will help them land on their feet.
