Date: February 7th, 2010 7:44 PM Author: Adulterous Ratface Turdskin What it does is avoid the "why weren't you on a journal" Q and potentially gives you something to talk about.

Date: February 8th, 2010 7:57 PM Author: plum frum space this is true, which is why secondary journals don't provide the same signal to law firms about capacity to pursue hours of mind numbing work. they usually put out fewer issues, each with fewer articles, and with a less rigorous selection and editing process. end result, much less work.
