new york courts are a breeding ground for lies and corruption.i’ve seen it with my own eyes.i wouldn’t touch that job(great salary and all) with a 10 foot pole.no offense to the poster,chas v,sholom.
Rav Mordechai Katz of Telz was once asked by someone, “how is it possible that frum (some) businessmen are ganavim?” He said, “Let me ask you a question, how is it some frum people eat on Yom Kippur and are mechalel Shabbos?” the fellow said, “they’re NOT frum!” Rav Katz said, “exactly, neither are the ganavim”
One could say that you can find all kinds of chesronos in all types of occupations, the bottom line is-what kind of Jew are you?
I think the position of Court Assistant is probably pretty safe from corruption.
to each his own.i know more than i care to share publicly.a regular businessman has a choice.SOMEONE’S ASSISTANT has less choices where ethics come in.the only choice they have is go along with it or stand up to it and possibly be shown the door.i would never put myself there if i knew about the moral pitfalls IN ADVANCE.
