The case of Lola v. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom made it to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit the other day, and should make for some interesting reading, though I doubt it will change the law any. David Lola will now be remembered forever in legal lore as the dude who thought his document review job was so menial that he should not be treated as a professional but as a clerk, able to claim overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Lola was one of the many recent law grads who are licensed to practice but apparently cannot find anything better than document review. Though his case is presently being litigated, all of what happened to him happened a few years ago, so maybe his story is of a period that has passed. In any event, much of this work has been replaced by computers.
