Oh it's not that bad! I mean, I'm happy?
Now, uh, maybe don't ask me if my graduating class is happy as a whole. Or whether the people I know as first year associates from my graduating class or others are happy. Because look sometimes ignorance is bliss.
But I'm doing alright guys

A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo
Non torno vivo alcun, s’i’odo il vero,
Senza tema d’infamia ti rispondo.

Re: Remember when sticker at T10 seemed like a good idea?
To save y'all the Google Translate search:
This epigraph is written in Italian and is taken from Dante’s The Divine Comedy:
“If I believed that my response was heard / by anyone returning to the world, / this flame would stand and never stir again, / But since no man has ever come alive / out of this gulf of Hell, if I hear true,/ I’ll answer, with no fear of infamy.”
The speaker is Guido da Montefeltro, whose spirit Dante encounters during his descent into hell. Since Guido assumes that Dante is also dead and therefore cannot return to the world, he is willing to confide in Dante his sin of false counsel, for which he is punished by being encased in flame.

True story: Rayiner and I work within, like, 1,000 feet of one another. He's just insufficiently dedicated to the cause.Samara wrote:+1 Unfortunately, Rayiner is working now and is rarely around.

Also, I get plenty of adoration/circle jerking round these here parts (which is great, don't get me wrong - I wouldn't want my ego to feel malnourished for even a second). But thanks none the less

When you play the game of law school you either succeed or you fail, there is no middle.
Fair statement or not?

Probably a little overstated. My personal favorite was from ATL a few years back:john7234797 wrote:When you play the game of law school you either succeed or you fail, there is no middle.

Law school never loses, but it doesn't always have to win.

I was going to read thesealocusts' posts, as they are usually quite good, but I was so blown away by Renne Walker's insights that I think I know all I need to know at this point.

Well he has a fucking baby, so. But I heard he tricked his wife into taking the baby to the other side of the country for 3 weeks so he could focus on work and interneting.thesealocust wrote: True story: Rayiner and I work within, like, 1,000 feet of one another.

Re: Remember when sticker at T10 seemed like a good idea?
TBF, I never really understood why people calculate COL into the total cost of law school. Yes, if you are coming out of undergrad and broke as a joke you are going to have to take loans out just to live. But for any non parent's-basement-dweller-till-26 person, you have to pay to live on your own once you graduate undergrad anyways. If you have some money saved up to cover first year COL, and you cross your finders for a 2L SA that will pay for a majority of your 3L COL, you are still looking at <200K at sticker for a T10. Taking out loans just to live exasberates the problem. With the Federal Clerkship+Big Law average around 66% for the C/O 2012 for the T10 and evidence pointing toward an increase in this for the C/O 2013, is it a great bet? No, absolutely not. But if you work hard to minimize your loans, there is still a good possibility of a favorable outcome.

If someone is paying for law school in cash or going PT while working then you may have a good point, but if someone is financing it all on debt, then total indebtedness at graduation is a critical number, and you have to include COL in that equation.

Yeah funny thing is, when I am working I don't like to pay my rent with 7.9% loans.kingjones59 wrote:TBF, I never really understood why people calculate COL into the total cost of law school.
