tl;dr: even if you go to HLS, your fucked if you hate law. Law is the irin chains of BIGDEBT, NOBIZ and NOFINANCE, and you will be BIGLAW debtslave. |

This really needs a footnote that says "99.79% of people end up utterly detesting the practice of law and the profession as a whole within 2 years of graduation. The remaining 0.21% are judges or work in academia along with a few plum government positions." |

Date: March 2nd, 2012 5:16 PM Author: Underhanded Theater Stage Idk about "regardless of the school you attend." I'd say that top 10% at a T100 + top journal + decent social intelligence = you'll be fine. obviously there are exceptions, but this is generally true about people I know from various schools.

Date: March 2nd, 2012 8:55 PM Author: Domesticated impressive theatre Not many. Most are biglaw drones. Which is hell of a lot more profitable than other types of law but probably even lamer.
I spent probably half of my week this week e-mail about, and populating form documents, with various lender-approved notary blocks for dozens of form documents. Apparently this is worth $420 an hour for some giant corporation. And even though it's mind-numbingly boring, it needs to be done RIGHT AWAY, even past midnight twice in a row, because these notary blocks are SUPER IMPORTANT. Christ. |
