Big Law Needs You, You Don't Need It

Line: 32 to 32
 Law firms need us (though outsourcing is growing in popularity). Elite law firms maintain their prestige and justify their fees by hiring students from elite law schools. Large numbers of associates allow partners to bring in large profits. We have market power and should find a way to use it. As students, we can chose, as a group, to only go to firms that show a commitment to issues we prioritize. If we do chose to sell our labor to large law firms when we graduate, we should at least strive for the chance to dictate to some extent, the conditions under which that time is sold.
