Craigslist Post of the Day: Top-Tier Law Degree ($59,250)
Friday, February 26, 2010 10:09 AM - By Kashmir Hill

This should sound familiar to many of you: After several years of practicing law, a San Francisco lawyer has come to regret the decision to go to law school.

Unlike many of you, this lawyer has decided to try to hawk their law degree on Craigslist. From the “For Sale - Collectibles” section of SF Bay Area Craigslist:

Though I spent over $100,000 on it I am willing to sell it for the bargain basement price of $59,250, which is the current value of my remaining student loan balance.
This priceless collectible will permit you to be surrounded by hobby-less a**holes whose entire life is dictated by billing by the hour and being anal dickheads. Additionally, this piece of paper has the amazing ability to keep you from doing what you really want to do in life, all in the name of purported prestige and financial success.

1. Hey, if we can get him to accept $20,000, maybe this will be a way

to get all those bad lawyers out of the profession?

2. Someone can buy the degree, but

they have to take the bar exam to practice law. :)

3. you don't need a law degree to practice law, anyways.

I wonder why anyone would go to law school, knowing that you don't need a law degree to practice law?

5. Because if you practice law in Florida without a license, you got to jail and get some

very hefty fines laid on you.

The lawyers and judges take any perceived threat to their law degrees very seriously.

6. Because it's illegal to practice law without a license

4. That's great!

I hope he finds success!
