The poster Charlie Murphy had a great comment:

"Because large and mid-size firms only fire out of their 2L summer classes nowadays. Not having a summer associateship this summer is probably going to make my t14 degree nothing much more then a piece of paper, and leave me with $170K in debt, paying it off for the next 10 years, while bumming off my school's LRAP just to make my payments, to in the end be making less then what a cop with a high school education does. To make matters worse, based on everything I've seen in terms of jobs it looks like I'll be working more hours then the idiot cop."


I am not saying law TOTALLY SUCKS, but I do recognize problems within the profession.

Well if he wants, he can get that cop job and IBR will save his ass.

Its always classy to insult cops.

I don't really understand why he gets to call the cop an idiot.

Most are meter maids with a bad attitude.

Most people who say this did something stupid and got busted for it. Anyone with the slightest idea of what a cop does respects them, even if he/she doesn't like them.

hating on cops does seem fairly juvenile

Pretty sure Desert Fox was kidding. If he/she isn't, he/she is an ass.

Because he got an advanced degree that cost him $250K with no exit strategy and the cop has a high-paying job despite only graduating high school. Doesn't that make it obvious the cop is the idiot?

for the record, a cop in california makes up to 120,000 dollars and detectives go up to 180,000. they have the potential to make bank.

Never even been arrested. What exactly should I respect them for? Writing a ticket for having an expired license plate sticker. They are revenue agents. Most of them drive around all day harassing law abiding citizens.

They have a code of silence against corruption amongst them, which makes me mistrust all of them.

Ahhhh now I see the fundamental logic I was missing...man, I'm such an idiot.

lets try a few weeks w/o cops and see how well things work out..

To discuss this issue is pointless.

Like I always said, people fail to realize that just because you go to a T-14 law school, doesn't necessary mean you will receive T-14 salary after graduation.

You will get an opportunity to interview with a firm that offers a T-14 salary, however you will not necessarily be working there within a 6 month period after you graduation. It's called being naive!

What is "T-14 salary"? I didn't realize I'd get paid more based on the prestige of my degree. Wow, this makes me glad I'm going to a T14! Tell me more!

Nice sense of humor!

Of course I understand society needs police, but our police do a piss poor job. Their focus is on writing tickets, and drug trafficking. They don't act professionally and view everyone as criminals. America used to have good cops, but now they've become lazy and aggressive.

ok, you're simply an idiot.

jw, where do you get your propaganda?

If you expect me to respond you are going to have to do better than insulting me. EDIT: Or at least insult me, well.

. Someone at a top law school has job worries, do we need cops? Details at 11...

And on world news, climate targets from summit hard to meet, should we ban fishing for marlin...

I 100% believe you have done the necessary research/study, as well as acquired the real life experience needed to make such blanket and absolute statements.

Yes every opinion must be backed up with a doctorate level of research. You are exactly right.

Another way of saying, you're right, I don't know what the he'll I'm talking about.
