[quote=Anonymous]I was a paralegal in a shitlaw firm many years ago. It was my first paralegal job. Not in the DC area at all, by the way. The firm had about 40 attorneys at their main office where I worked and a number of smaller branch offices in other states so not tiny. Their only areas were auto insurance subro, and collections for credit cards, student loans, and high-interest car loans for people who had bad credit. I was on the credit card collections team and basically we worked on behalf of the junk debt buyers trying to recover years old CC debt from people who were really at the bottom rungs of society. There were no benefits offered to staff until you had been there a year, and a good number of the attorneys were related to each other - lots of father/son or daughter combos, siblings, cousins, etc. I actually think they got paid fairly well in a lower cost of living area and none of them went to prestigious law schools so I assume their student debt, even among the younger attorneys, wasn't too high. There was also a lot of turnover. That, to me, is shitlaw. [/quote]
