|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Everyone Works for Free! (Slightly OT) Daniel Celvi, Photographer Schaumburg | IL | United States | Posted: 2:42 PM on 03.13.10 ->> Browsing through Craigslist, and found this: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/lgl/1642279962.html If you don't feel like reading the ad, it's a guy asking for free help from a whole team of attorneys, all with experience and degrees from top academic institutions, for help with a custody case. And you'll get a great, fuzzy feeling from doing it! This whole free thing is just starting to get ridiculous, but it almost comforts me to know that it's bleeding into other sectors.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The thing is, attorneys have such a lock on the legal system they can AFFORD to work for free every so often. Now, if some day someone makes an affordable "digital lawyer," they may find themselves just like us.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
