Law School Graduates Finding Lean Job Market
recent law graduates were
interviewed about their struggle towards finding a job in this tough market. With a lot of student debt, graduates are finding themselves doing pro bono work on top of a side job that would help pay the bills; but this article was not all discouraging. Nikki Marie Oliveira, an associate at Margolis & Bloom, LLP was interviewed in the BBJ exactly a year ago about her approach to job searching. At that time, she was also in a similar situation as many of her colleagues-going to copious amounts of networking events, submitting over 100 resumes, and doing pro bono work. However, this time around for the interview in the BBJ, she set a good example of how her hard work and persistence has paid off. We are very happy to have her on the Margolis & Bloom, LLP team.

The Supreme Court's Ruling on Health Care 
An answer could come today to the four key questions being raised by the Supreme Court in challenging the Affordable Care Act. The first is based on the threshold and whether the court may decide the case now or wait until 2015, when all provisions have gone into effect. The second is whether or not requiring Americans to have insurance is constitutional. Third is the question of the law's expansion of Medicaid, adding 17 million more people and lastly the court will weigh in on if any part of the law is unconstitutional and if it can be separated out or if the entire law has to be invalidated.
