"If you go to Mercer Law, then you'll have trouble finding ANY job. Forget biglaw. Here is a quote from the director of career services during OCS orientation last semester (paraphrased): "We are here to help you find a job. If you don't 'want' to work in Atlanta, then we'll work with you to find paralegal work or nontraditional legal work." That quote sums up your opportunities here at Mercer Law."

"I just found this my googling "mercer sucks." I'll add my $.02.

Mercer law is simply the biggest financial disaster of my life. Everything about this school is a ripoff; from the 30K/yr tuition, the crappy bookstore that gives you "free" popcorn, the horribly dated facilities, all the way to the piece of shitwipe paper you call a JD.

All of you 1Ls above are going to have a fantastic summer this year. Not only are paid internships nearly impossible to come by (only the brightest get them), you will have a hard time even finding a VOLUNTEER internship. That's right, folks-- you will probably not even find a place to give your time for free at mercer law. You'll end up working some odd, non-legal job (think lifeguard). What a ripoff. You better enjoy your 1L summer, because 2L summer doesn't get much better. If you didn't do anything during 1L summer, a 2L internship is that much harder to get. Before you know it, you'll be in 2L OCI (and I type that with a smirk on my face) with a couple of interviews at small law firms which will be interviewing half the 2L class for just one position. If you're at the median, you're fucked. Just try shopping your 85.5 GPA around.

To the guy above who said "75% of mercer 3Ls were employed before graduation"-- what a flat out lie. Maybe in 1975. I cannot fathom how that could possibly be true with the amount of 3Ls here who don't have jobs."

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=793439&forum_id=2#9568503)

"I would call mercer a toilet, but it's more like an open latrine where people just piss right on it. And if you think I'm exaggerating this whole thing, just wait until you fresh, doey-eyed 0Ls hit median and are begging on the street for some shitlaw firm to hire you. With $100,000 in debt combined with Mercer law's poor reputation, you'll take whatever rancid, fetid scraps are tossed your way. And you'll like it.

Save your money and don't attend this diploma mill if you value your dignity."

Hello All,

I'm a 1L at Mercer (I guess as well after skimming the posts...) Well, due to hell and high water this ongoing forum issue has caused raging around the school (which apparantly has been going on for sometime and I just got wind of it), I decided to check it out today (That and the fact someone said they thought I was involved with the ranting... Blame it on the compulsive computer kid). It's.... intresting to say the least.I will say Mercer 1L Guy makes some points... unfortunitly the conclusion doesn't correlate to the facts presented, not to mention I bet some facts might be off (I didn't read it all, just a few.) The view that the school is a waste money has not factual backgorund besides your claim of no work (which I guess your taking from word of mouth?). Your point of being considered lower then UGA and Emory (thus Mercer grads are lower on the totem pole) is skewed as well. Though they all got some relavant points leaning on your contention, your failing to use that Analytical skill that's being tought to you.

If your talking about coming out of Mercer in the low precentile and trying to get a job to pay off your loans sufficently quick and begin making high levels of income... your right. Conversly, that's not due to the school. If you haven't heard, Law degrees and those with them are abundant in society, and more specifically, GA. If your coming out crawling below the 80% marker, without any connections, clueless as to where to begin, seeking a job in a Major City (really any city), and trying to suck on the tit as if it's the schools job to get you one, your going to face a hard reality. Mix that with other schools (UGA, Emory) contending with you, your going to be fighting one hell of a battle. Link that to the upcoming recession, merger of the Credit industries by the reserve (Damn Feds and Rockafellers), high loan costs, gas prices, yadda, yadda... anyhow, it's a hard battle that think called life, and it would seem your losing it.

But welcome to the fight. If this is you coming out of law school... you definitly did not spend your time wisely. Mercer is a private, small Institution, Hence the higher cost and lower ratings then then the others. Mercer doesn't "sell you a job". It gives you what you need to be able to obtain one on your own in the market: Education. As well, Mercer offers something else most other schools do not offer: small, supportive learning enviroment, large and loyal Alumni base, and the abilty to shoot the shit with Doris (that sweet old thing rocks my socks off) This is a small, private institute of education, not a lawyer prodcution facility complete with a briefcase and firm job. And If your at Mercer, spending $100,000 or more and can't find a job in the trade, your not working sufficently at obtaining the needed education. On the same note, I beleive your falling into that catagroy of joining the "trashheap of GA" or whatever relative comment you made. But, Even trash can sucseed, or in the least be valauble. Consider: If your paying ful price for Mercer, and your going to transfer out, judging by the manner you are discussing the institution as you've been doing, it leads me to beleive it was the only one you got into (due to poor test scores or poor grades). If you got the grades to transfer out as you contened, in the least it was a jumping pad for your beignings (most likly your only avalaible jumping pad, thus quite valuable, wouldn't you say?) And if you don't have the grades to transfer out, that as well show's me two things: Mercer was the only school you got into, and your piddling at your studies the same way you did in undergrad or prep for your LSAT. On that note, that's where my point on valuable trash comes into play... Your tuition is, in all reality, paying mine then. (I'm not saying your trash, It just was a analogy to your concept you stated in one of the post you saw) I was lucky to get a "cheeseburger" scholarship handout so all I have to pay is Living expenses. I had the abilty to go to Chappell Hill, but that shit was costly, and my family is small town land rich only. Thus, the true beauty of Mercer Shines thorugh: Kids with ambition and low income get a good deal, and piddlers either get a second chance to reprove themselves and progress foward, or... pay my tuition. Any how, I'm not trying to sound like I'm generating conflict, as I'm well aware of harmful effects such can cause.

hmmm.. im incredibly ADHD, which tends to make me sporadic in my points... let me expliain it this way: By Grandpops told me 3 main concepts every man should live by:

1. "Smile, Act proper, don't call what your waring an outfit, shake hands, don't forget to feed the dogs, and make yourself notable." This was his way of saying the most truth filled statement ever: It's not your degree that makes you money, it's the friends that like you enough to include you... and don't forget to feed the dogs.

2. "If you can't milk the cows or sow the feild, you best get your ass looking around for something else that needs to get done." This one hopefully you got... If it's not lawyering that working for you, then you best find something else. Hey, you might not be cut out for it. I know I'm not... but I thought ahead and know I'm going to teach. If it's not your thing, you best get your ass looking around. If it's ends up being a costly mistake.... Think of it this way: Atleast you didn't stick your junk in a light socket.

3. "Don't hang around a man who complains about something in the first ten minutes of meeting him. It means he's trying to connect with you." Hell If I knew what he meant by this one. But it kinda makes since anyhow.

Anyways, my grandad also had one more, which is relavant here: It was, "If a man is carrying a big stick and smells like shit, don't let him poke you." On that note, I wouldn't advise biting the hand that is offered in friendship and gratitude... express your opinions, but don't continue to try to push your classmates to rage. Your throwing Gasoline on this fire just to watch it burn.. and sadly, it's burning on a public forum that many others see.

Also, Your not the brightest for choosing a PHPbb open source forum format for your stirring. Beisdes PHP information transfers being quickly and easily degenerated and expolited, you posted in HTML format, which has to convert to the lenux PHP string to be able to hit the hostport and post. With that, your Baseline ID number is attached to each post you made. (I'm more amazed you used your school computer and didn't change your IP adress once during the last 3 months from the preset). Even without such damning actions, many websites offer UID code decryption processes for PHPbb, which is ungodly simple. Anyhow, I'm not going to get inolved with all this, but... you need learn to get invovled, not scoff on the side. In the least, apprecaite what you do have...and know your weapons of choice better. Oh yea, thanks for the tuition contributions, and good luck on the transfer. I hope you get your Jumping pad out.

I had... Briefly for about 5 minutes, put up the process of finding out who you are to those who wanted it. I've taken it down. I'm fairly certain the only person who saw it was the last poster and three viewers, and my educated guess (due to the lack of law students who enjoy code) is your free from retribution. You should be free to state what you want and how you feel. But also, you should be human enough to understand what your stirring is doing to your classmates, (some of which I see you talking to daily and I would assume consider you a friend.) Backhanded antics are counter-productive, and friends are better made then enemies. Similiarly, If you feel like you need help with something, I'm free and willing to help you. (My names not up, but it's not hard to figure out) I'm quite good at teaching/studying learning sessions... Though the image you put forth leads ot beleive your well ahead of me in the point scale, and your just causing grief...

And I'm done with the posting site, reading and posting on it. I've wasted 3 hours of my life today trying to find out who is doing stuff people think I am doing and writting this ungodly long msg post. Plus I got a butt load of Con. Law catching up to do.

P.S. I'm not just the founder of the Anti-Spell Checking on non-graded stuff Organization, but I'm also a Member.

"The forthcoming outting of 'Mercer Law 1L' is a result of just how close the 1L class (and 2L and 3L) is. He is not a part of their community and they deserve to know who he is. Not to attack him, but to reach out to him and attempt to address his perceived shortcomings. Which, is all they are. Mercer may not enjoy the reputation of UGA or Duke, but that is not to say that Mercer has a bad reputation or is a bad school"

We had similar problems at my LS. We had an underground newspaper that published a couple times a semester that the administration was after.

They published documents that were left on the community drive in the computer labs with Admissions info. They showed that less than 1/2 of students kept their scholarships, that the Dean had specific "dean admits" who admitted legacies or friends of the school with LSATs in the 130s (this was a T2 school where most of us were in the high 150s/low 160s.) They didn't post names thankfully but it led to witch hunts to figure out who didn't belong. The minority students took it on the chin unfairly because the school had a abysmal minority student population previously (the graduating class the year before I got there had one single black student - I can't make this shit up) and they began aggressively recruiting minorities starting with my class.

We also had a disgruntled student using a fake hotmail account who sent angry messages to the entire list serve complaining about the Dean and his policies. We are 99% sure who that student was and he had no reason to complain. He walked off to a sweet 125k gig (only to be fired for faking his resume and claiming an MD when he didn't have one - I can't make this shit up.)

"I would like to start by apologizing to my fellow classmates. My comments were uncalled for and I feel nothing but regret for saying them. Simply, I was wrong and take full responsibility for the comments.

I stumbled upon this post months ago, and wrote a few comments which I have deleated. I actually forgot about even posting the comments until a friend outed me as one of the posters (rightfully so). However, much has changed since I wrote those past comments. Until all this got started up, the school had actually began to grow on me and I had just started to actually like being here. One of my friends even stated that she had noticed how "positive" I had been lately. I never had any issues with the student body, and I believe that the students at Mercer are its strongest asset. Most of the students here at Mercer are kind and I have enjoyed getting know them. My comments were not meant to debase any of the students at Mercer. Most of the students at Mercer are highly intelligent and I'll admit that I shouldn't even be sitting the same class with most of them. The comments I made were simply out of frustration. True, it is expensive, but as a friend recently told me, " you knew that when you came". That's a true statement.

I did have intentions of transfering, but recently I decided not to. As I stated earlier, I actually began to feel at home here and began to like it. Now, I simply do not know what I will do considering that I have actually started to like it and the people don't like me. I don't want to be where I am not wanted. So I don't know what I will do.

As for the quality of education, I have never thought that Mercer provided an inferior quality of education. The teacher here are demanding and for the most part all of them are great. My hostility was soley based on price which was my fault.

I admit I made a mistake and acted like a child and bear responsibility of such actions.

Therefore, I hope my apology will be accepted, but I can understand the hurt that it caused.

It's true that I did go to rural junior college in Tifton called ABAC before I went to UGA. I don't regret that decision and am not ashamed of it either. In addition, I do love rural life and love spending every possible spare minute I have on my farm. I have many faults, but my love of rural life is simply not one of them."

The NALP data also show that the percentage of graduates employed in private practice has been steady, fluctuating between 55% and 58% for more than a decade. But in law schools' self-published employment data, "private practice" doesn't necessarily mean jobs that improve long-term career prospects, for that category can include lawyers working under contract without benefits, such as Israel Meth. A 2005 graduate of Brooklyn Law School, he earns about $30 an hour as a contract attorney reviewing legal documents for big firms. He says he uses 60% of his paycheck to pay off student loans -- $100,000 for law school on top of $100,000 for the bachelor's degree he received from Columbia University.
