Senior Commercial Litigation Paralegal (Midtown)

[Ed.-- A lot of these employers are very polite about rejecting JD's.  I am sure it's frustrating for them to get hoards of unemployable JD's applying for every job opening.  Saying no that many times must get wearing.  Note the disjunctive here; if somebody had five years of paralegal experience in an AmLaw setting and all the other requirements, then they would be a good fit for this job.  If they have that experience and then go to law school, though, they cannot get this job.  Your law degree has negative economic value.]
