First, some agencies are disappointed, but in the end aren't going to hold you in a contract dispute if you leave before your 3 years are up.<BR/><BR/>However, I do know of at least one place that will (at least threaten to) charge you the cost of your training (you did a get a free education at their expense with the understanding that you'd stay there to put it to use). And I know that some employers will report you to the Character and Fitness Committee of the Bar. So, that's something they can hold over your head.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I think that most employers (and most PDs offices) are just using it, like you said, as a "moral" contract, with the hope that they'll get their moneys worth out of training you. And if you decide it's not working out for you, they'll probably wish you the best and get on with training someone else.Blonde Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10051354396652062111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105917.post-1111359960855255742005-03-20T18:06:00.000-05:002005-03-20T18:06:00.000-05:00C Dog: Is there a listserve or something?C Dog: <BR/><BR/>Is there a listserve or something?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105917.post-1111336550510002582005-03-20T11:35:00.000-05:002005-03-20T11:35:00.000-05:00Yes, it is a 'moral commitment' not a contract.

Second, any so-called "contract" that attempted to restrict your ability to practice law would be (1) illegal and (2) subject both the signee and the organization who required it to professional discipline. I assume the "contract" would be a moral obligation only. I say, take the job and if you don't like it after a year, tell them to f' themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
