This week’s column is going to be a bit different … . I know times are tough out for so many of you (and for so many of the headhunters as well!) and it’s time we all tried to help one another in whatever way possible.

Lately we have been reading about all of those 3Ls who thought they were about to begin their careers at BigLaw firms in September as first year associates, but then suddenly found out that their start dates have been deferred to 2010. To help them through this jobless year, they have been told that they will receive an extra stipend if they are employed by pro bono employers. Of course, those jobs are now going to be at a premium. So, I thought that this column might be able to offer up some help, if at all possible.
