NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Moonlighting Eclipses Legal Career
In a recent article titled, “Recessionomics 101: How to Make Extra Money,” The Wall Street Journal advises: “One of the best ways to earn extra cash is by creating a business using existing skills and interests, such as a gardening, art or photography.” Damian R. Bonazzoli, a senior staff attorney for the MA Appeals Court, did just that, placing an ad on Craigslist offering his services as a term paper writer. Bonazzoli’s employer learned of his sideline when a journalist writing an article on term paper trafficking posed as a college student looking for someone to write a paper on physician-assisted suicide, and Bonazzoli offered to do the job for $300 and provided his resume. It is illegal to sell term papers in the state and Bonazzoli is no longer working for the appellate court. It is unclear whether he left his $94,000-a-year job of his own accord, or was terminated.
