Dear Sir or Madam:
This article reports that about 40% of those recently passing the Japanese bar exam are unable to find a position:
http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/T10081300434...
The article refers to these people as "trainee lawyers" because under the Japanese system those who pass the bar exam must first work as interns for a year before being fully admitted to the bar.
As Japan only recently instituted a graduate law school system, these jobless new lawyers are also among the first new lawyers to enter the profession burdened with law school debt.
Respectfully,
(I tried to send this as message, but was unable to prove I am human.)
