Comments
If I count correctly, that is a grand total of four entry level tax hires by American law schools, two of whom were previously in teaching as VAPs. I assume this is because of the economy. If it doesn't turn around, we are going to face an aging field which is bad news for creativity and energy.

When you have as many Israelis as Americans as entry-level hires, with 1/50 the population, either the Israelis are very good or there aren't many jobs in the American market. Maybe a little bit of both.
