Oh, how times have changed.
Nice article. But there is an issue that has yet to go mainstream, and I think the exposure of this issue would go a long way towards explaining and exposing the scam.
A large percentage of grads from lower ranked law schools have parents who are either successful lawyers with their own firms or who are well-off and have other businesses. And so when these particular law school students graduate, they go to work for the family business, whether that is a successful law firm or other business. What percentage of these grads are in this position? Don't know. But at my school, I would say it was not too far from 20 percent.

...and those legacy lawyers seem to rarely be the best and brightest, and yet they have jobs awaiting.
ReplyDeleteNepotism uber alles.
ReplyDeleteIf you take nepotism out of the equation, "job placement" would be significantly lower at all of these law schools. At my TTT graduation, I remember seeing kids that I had never even heard of, during my three years of hell. Many of these people had judges for parents. So much for the "honorable profession."
ReplyDeleteIt's tough to make decisions based on your information. Please provide hard numbers. Saying "I would say" is hardly credible information.
