Massachusetts Superior Court Fires Clerks Before They Begin

Massachusetts Superior CourtThe Massachusetts Superior Court has informed 25 3Ls they will not be hired after all as court clerks.

It appears that the decision to rescind the job offers was made last Fall, when the courts instituted a hiring freeze; but those affected are only being informed now.

The court says the hirings were always contingent on funding, and that the wording on the original offers was conditional.

    I thought California Clerks had it bad, the problem is nation wide.
    Remember the Judges are elected Officials!
