| | OK, everybody is worried about jobs, internships. It does not matter you are 1L, 2L, 3L or associates, or partners. Everybody is at risk. I, for one, don't have a job for the summer. yet. I hope something will come up. But I got a better idea, why not start your own student-run public interest organization (SPIO)? | | | On the subject Jon also brought up, regarding firms sending people to PI jobs, I think this is a fantastic development quite frankly. Clearly there will be problems with turnover, but it seems that the public interest domain can never have enough good legal minds.

> | Aaron, my point was that an interesting dilemma arises when PI firms are given incentive to hire the private sector's deferrals (because they are free labor) over a potentially more dedicated class of labor (those who have chosen PI work to the exclusion of private firm jobs) resulting in a shortage of another necessary and limited resource (supervisory ability of PI employers). Intuitively, it seems that the PI labor market should not equilibrate until all issues and problems are addressed, but this simply isn't the case, and as the flood of private firm deferrals will show, money is not the only limiting resource. This was a point I came to in response to Xingping's comment: "I am sick and tired of all these public interest organizations telling you that they got all the man power they need, which is obviously a white lie."
