Is Freiberg and Peck Censoring JDUnderground?

From http://www.jdunderground.com/thread.php?threadId=11937 -- it appears that there is proof (from the administrator of JDUnderground.com) that Craig Freiberg of Freiberg & Peck monitors JDUnderground and sends emails to request the removal of information about his firm that would raise questions for new attorneys interviewing there.

Here's an excerpt:

When Freiberg &Peck contact you, are they nasty? Do they send "formal demands" with threats? Do you have a "relationship" with them at this point, where they just say- hey admin, do me a favor take down the postings? I

They are formal and respectful but not threatning. There is no relationship.

What pisses me off most is that they make a blanket claim that the whole thread is defamatory. I do wish that they specifically pointed out exactly what language is defamatory. I am too busy to argue with them now so I dont care. But if I had the time, I would make them point out the exact defamatory language.

After some further internet research, suggested by people emailing me about that firm, it also looks credible to conclude that the partners at F&P post things on other websites to make it look like their firm is good. For example, there's a review online that says something like "everyone worked hard but I had health insurance" (!!!). Uhhh, McDonalds gives health insurance too... Walmart gives health insurance to part-timers who work enough hours. So does Starbucks. What does this have to do with treating people right? If even half of the other stuff is credible, that firm is deplorable.

JDU traffic has been light lately

I wonder why. Anyone who has a good answer, let the rest of us know!

JDU Thread Roundup

1. This thread has an interesting theory -- the next time you feel bad for yourself, go to Burger King or Walmart and see what it's like for the people who work there or shop there... and be glad that you have an education, at least. Added bonus--someone suggested ordering a Freiberger (named after the notorious firm).

2. This thread about No Fault law is somewhat interesting; for once we get a look at who might be some of the better No Fault firms or people.

3. This thread poses an interesting question--anyone know the answer?

New Site worth checking out

This is a new site, about Brooklyn Law School's career counseling department, that is worth checking out.

This was just posted on JDUnderground today... I'll update with any good comments as they come.

Freiberg & Peck partners monitor sites to silence the truth?

Author: honestly Subject: What happened to the Freiberg and Peck Survey Time: February 12, 2008 - 9:01 pm Honestly, Freiberg and Peck are the most pathetic attorneys known. Do they not understand that by demanding that the Admin removes all their posts that they perpetuate the posts against them. I gave this thread until 11:00am until they demand its removal. Additionally, everybody agreeing w/ the admin for removing requested posts has one thing wrong. I believe that admin makes money on this post, as there are ads. Notwithstanding, I do agree that if I was in his/her shoes, I would remove anything requested b/c it is just not worth a headache.

Author: realisticJD Time: February 12, 2008 - 9:29 pm F&P shut down JDJive with litigious threats--what makes you think they won't keep bitching to Admin until he scales the site way back (makes it not worth his time) or just closes the site?

Author: foreign flag Time: February 13, 2008 - 6:58 am Maybe their posting their OWN derogatory threads to set that up! happened with crop circles!!

Author: asdfsadf Time: February 13, 2008 - 7:03 am "Additionally, everybody agreeing w/ the admin for removing requested posts has one thing wrong. I believe that admin makes money on this post, as there are ads." what does that have to do with anything? and i believe he has said he makes a few dollars a month off the site, probably enough to defray the costs of hosting it, if that. but anyway, what the hell does his making or not making money have to do with allegedly defamatory comments? and i agree he is right in taking the stuff down. and he wouldn't only be dealing with a headache but a lawsuit from people who probably would pursue it just to be assholes and out of spite. if i were him i would just take that shit down too.

Author: andypettite Time: February 13, 2008 - 10:26 am why bother bumping? freiberg & peck will write a threatening email to Admin and he'll have to remove this stuff by tonight. just wait--you'll see
