a friend of mine got around the same score you did, within a couple of points. he didn't get into g'town. he got into GW. he's in his second year and just accepted a job at a firm that will be paying him $2,400/week. so i think you'll probably end up doing just fine.

i'm actually not even planning on getting a job afterwards, i'll just apply for unemployment benefits and wallow in my debt.
If there's one thing America doesn't yet have enough of, then it's surely more lawyers. Good choice!
Originally posted by B. Chermeet:The point is, that if you're going to spend $150,000 dollars on an education, you'd better have some way of paying it off later… be it a job at a firm, or a good public interest job with a loan forgiveness program from your school.

I'd always heard that law was the study of language. If you're in law for any other reason, then you're really not getting "An Education"…you're merely getting lessons on how to make money.

Does it usually reassure you, discussing your education with total strangers on chat bboards like this???
OBJECTION

looks like i did say otherwise. oh well, a first in a long career of lies.
at least i don't tell boring old "jokes"
Originally posted by HoyaSaxa03:I'm sorry. You'll never make it as a lawyer if you're just gonna go ahead and admit that you're wrong! Claim temporary insanity or something… that usually works.

Fun discussion.
Hoya - as one of the board's "scum of the earth" lawyers (and one that went to that untowardly expensive lawschool known as GW)I can tell you that a career in the law can be interesting, lucrative, and beneficial to society ans still allow you time and flexibility to go to 9:30 club shows from time to time.
It does not really matter where you go to law school if you want to practice law. If you want to get out of school and make around $200k to start, then it matters where you go to law school, but those folks have a pretty low quality of life for at least the first 10 years of their careers, and they are almost exclusively doing behind the scenes work for large corporations as opposed to helping the little guy.

Speaking of Law & Order, various news outlets are reporting that Jerry Orbach (aka Lenny Briscoe) died last night.
I read that as well. That's sad. He was going to start an new show from the creators of Law & Order.
