Change of page: Your JD is neither an advantage or disadvantage
[Ed.-- This came from my JDU thread announcing this blog: http://jdunderground.com/all/thread.php?threadId=77774 ]
http://jdunderground.com/all/thread.php?threadId=77774#post1068296
I'm looking for a paralegal / legal assistant. While I am not particularly looking for a JD (so there is no JD advantage) I am not going to discriminate against a JD. I, however, do not want to hire someone who will only be committed to me long enough to wait for their bar results or for another associate position to open up somewhere else. So, JDs are welcome.

More on the rationale of this blog
I do not deny the existence of genuine "JD Advantage" jobs. However, (i) they are far outnumbered by the "JD Disadvantaged" jobs listed here and (ii) it is rarely, if ever, worth the time and monetary cost of law school to land a "JD Advantage" job since, by definition, that job can be procured by somebody without a JD. Some more on this topic:
-- JD Employed writes about the "JD Disagree Disadvantage".
Some other links from JDU which reflect the prevailing "JD Advantage" propaganda that gave inspiration to this blog:
http://www.nalp.org/jdadvantage
Most notably the rather whimsical proposition that,
"It turns out that the JD degree prepares you for a variety of exciting jobs and careers. While many law school graduates go on to practice law, many others go on to play leadership roles in a variety of settings. Many law school graduates obtain positions for which Bar Passage, or even a JD, is not required, but their legal training is deemed to be an advantage or even necessary in the workplace. As the saying goes 'you can do almost anything with a law degree!'"

Criminal Justice Advocate
Job posted by:
Urban Justice Center - Mental Health Project
The
Mental Health Project of the Urban Justice Center (MHP) seeks an
advocate to advance the work of our criminal justice advocacy program.
The Criminal Justice Advocate will support our litigation efforts to
ensure that people receiving mental health treatment in New York City
jails are provided with appropriate discharge planning services before
they are released from custody and will also be actively involved in our
work to fight the criminalization of mental illness through legislative
advocacy and community education.
MHP aims to break the cycle of hospitalization, homelessness, and incarceration for low-income New Yorkers with mental illness. Through the class action lawsuit, Brad H. v. City of New York, MHP challenged New York City's practice of discharging incarcerated people with mental illness from the Rikers Island in the middle of the night with only a $3 Metrocard and $1.50 in cash and without any psychiatric medication or referral to services. This lawsuit established a right to discharge planning for people who receive mental health treatment while incarcerated in a City jail. In 2003 the lawsuit was settled, and the City agreed to provide class members with medication, aftercare, benefits, housing, and transportation.

MHP aims to break the cycle of hospitalization, homelessness, and incarceration for low-income New Yorkers with mental illness. Through the class action lawsuit, Brad H. v. City of New York, MHP challenged New York City's practice of discharging incarcerated people with mental illness from the Rikers Island in the middle of the night with only a $3 Metrocard and $1.50 in cash and without any psychiatric medication or referral to services. This lawsuit established a right to discharge planning for people who receive mental health treatment while incarcerated in a City jail. In 2003 the lawsuit was settled, and the City agreed to provide class members with medication, aftercare, benefits, housing, and transportation.
The Criminal Justice Advocate will:
- Assist in monitoring and enforcing compliance with the Brad H. settlement;
- Visit NYC jails regularly to interview people receiving mental health treatment about their discharge planning needs and whether those needs are being met;
- Submit written complaints to the City regarding class members' discharge planning needs;
- Follow up with individuals released from jail to determine whether they received appropriate discharge planning services;
- Respond to calls and letters from people in jail and prison, their families, and others regarding discharge planning issues and advocate for individuals to enforce their rights to discharge planning services;
- Exercise discretion and independent judgment with regard to client matters;
- Conduct trainings on the criminal justice system and the rights of Brad H. class members;
- Assist MHP's Director of Criminal Justice Advocacy; and
- Perform administrative and clerical duties as appropriate.
- Enjoy working directly with clients and families;
- Have excellent written and oral communication skills;
- Be extremely detail-oriented and organized;
- Be proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel;
- Demonstrate a commitment to fighting for social justice;
- Have personal or professional experience with mental illness and/or the criminal justice system; and
- Speak Spanish fluently.

Mission Statement of this Blog
Now that the word is out that it is frequently not possible for law school graduates to find job as lawyers, law schools and their advocates frequently claim that JD's can instead apply for "JD Advantage" jobs-- those opportunities where a JD may not be required, but is helpful.
"JD Advantage" jobs exist, but are incredibly rare; further, given the extreme cost of law school, it is unlikely that even somebody who lands a "JD Advantage" job is better off than a similarly situated person who did not go to law school.
This blog exists to document instances of the opposite, much more common phenomena: An employer who considers a JD such a negative that they explicitly say in the job ab that JD's will not be considered. This blog exists to collect and memorialize such ads. Thinking about going to law school? First, take a look at all the great jobs you could have without it and can't have with it. Then, think long and hard before you do.
Please feel free to submit any you find to jddisadvantage@gmail.com.
Credit for the idea and initial spate of posts goes to JD Underground.
Thanks.
