Apparently a lot of people do.

okok. People who know things.

But danquayle is a practicing attorney!

I make money at my job. I'll take that over whatever you do.

Now that Texas is a T14 that means that there is one more national school. Yay!

[NZA]

ATL took long enough.

ATL comments are almost as snarky and funny as you folks.

Love these guys.

Me, too. Before I had TLS, ATL was one of the few ways I was able to mold my perspectives on various schools.

ATL has the all the funny of TLS with far less stupid. But you trade out the stupid for racist, so it's a tradeoff... But the racist also boosts the funny. So its a toss up.

True. ATL also gets self-righteous on occasion, which can be off-putting.

Yeah but half the articles on ATL by a certain author are race baiting incoherent nonsense anyways.

Thanks again guys. I was actually surprised I wasn't called a dumbass for choosing Fordham at sticker over GW and BU. Is TLS getting ...NICER!?!?

Just less attentive.

[amers73]

Still not over Davis.

[Grizz]

Holy shit Texas is T14 and I turned them down for Vandy which is only ranked 16. FUCK. I need to get my transfer app to there going RIGHT NAO

WTF were you thinking? Biglaw firms only hire from t14. you're totally fucked. Vanderbiltttt is a joke, especially when it comes to nlj250 placement data and OCI.

Should I transfer or drop out and reapply? HALP

And we I don't?

I get why the part-time can bring the rankings down, I just can't fathom the elitism one needs to call a part-time program a bad thing. Say what you want about the number of students at Georgetown, but so what if some people working on the Hill and whatnot want to get a law degree without leaving their jobs? Would if I could.

Haters gonna hate...

GUYZ what will become of the t14????

An epic battle between GeorgeTTTown and TTTexas.

I predict Texas will fall back out of the t14 within the next year or two, but 150 years from now you'll still see UT grads driving around the South with "t14" decals and license plate holders on their hovertrucks.

No dude, you're fine. Vandy is a school on the rise, I think if they continue to invest in their international civil rights endangered bird law program, they could break the T14.

Lol, true. But I mean, any time a racial issue comes up in the legal community, you can expect a whiny rant at ATL.

You can win at real life. I'll continue to win on the internetz.

Or maybe I'll win at real life too and be BI-WINNING!

PT is easier to get into thus you lose much of your elitism when you are taking people with lower numbers.

[beachbum]

You guys are missing the biggest story of the new rankings! That is, DUKE TAKES SOLE POSSESSION OF #11! YEAH! SUCK IT, NORTHWESTTTERN!

Phew I was really about to /self there for a second, thanks for talking me off the ledge. I mean, rising one spot in the rankings should guarantee at least a FEW more employers at OCI. Maybe even rope in a few more V30s. I mean we're only getting V40s now.

What it really means is that the T14 is now the T13.
