[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Way to generalize. On second thought, I do iit too. For example, I can’t stand most lawyers. They think they’re smarter than everyone and that completing law school is some huge intellectual feat.[/quote]

As a lawyer in another agency who sometimes deals with State lawyers, I hope you realize that most of them went to top law schools and did very well. I'd wager it's far, far harder to get a legal job at State than become an FSO. [/quote]

This is unquestionably true.  FSOs are a dime a dozen.  Being a lawyer with State is far more impressive.  [/quote]

Yes, and those lawyers are totally insufferable, in my experience![/quote]

I think both of these statements are true. FSOs are insufferable. So are L lawyers. They deserve each other. The taxpayers deserve better.[/quote]

Wait, so you're saying State shouldn't hire top law school grads? What exactly do taxpayers deserve? And I thought taxpayers only concern about agency lawyers is that they have sound judgment...[/quote]

Top law school grads don’t have to be insufferable. In fact, being insufferable and being a high quality lawyer are mutually exclusive. I think the world could use a lot less insufferable-ness and a lot more humility and helpfulness. And gratitude to the taxpayers who pay our salaries. [/quote]
