I think this has been posted 15 times. Also, why are you posting anonymously?

Both of these posters should be outed. Mods really need to start de-anonymizing posts that abuse the anonymous feature to convince people to stop doing it.

Poster #1 is Black-Blue. Poster #2 is generally wise, so I'll let him make his point.

Re: 2009 NLJ 250 Placement Stats
If these numbers are legit, why do people say that only like the top 2% of like Loyola Chicago grads can get biglaw? It says that 15% gets NLJ 250. These stats are not legit, right?

They are, but the class of '09 did OCI in 2007, before all hell broke loose. Numbers for NYC schools are depressed because of the large number of no offers which occurred after said breaking loose of hell.A'nold wrote:If these numbers are legit, why do people say that only like the top 2% of like Loyola Chicago grads can get biglaw?

Re: 2009 NLJ 250 Placement Stats
Ah. This list still suprises me because I remember researching law schools back then and people generally said you had to be in the top 5% to have a shot at biglaw from a Loyola-Chicago kind of school. According to this list, at that time 15% got NLJ 250 and who knows how many got decent midlaw kind of jobs. 30% of the class could have possibly done well as far as starting salary goes.OperaSoprano wrote:They are, but the class of '09 did OCI in 2007, before all hell broke loose.

I wonder if Vandy really does place a higher percentage of its students in NLJ 250 firms than Georgetown. I know Georgetown has a crap ton of students but that still surprised me.

Re: 2009 NLJ 250 Placement Stats
I congratulated Observationalist earlier on some very effective trolling. It doesn't surprise me, though. That place is on fire, and it's small enough that the CSO can take time with every student, according to Vandy's biggest fan.A'nold wrote:Ah.

Re: 2009 NLJ 250 Placement Stats
Hmmm....that's interesting. I wonder how the school is faring in this market. Not to derail the thread, but how mobile is a Vandy degree?OperaSoprano wrote:I congratulated Observationalist earlier on some very effective trolling. It doesn't surprise me, though.

Re: 2009 NLJ 250 Placement Stats
Where is he? I was his apprentice in fine trollcraft (er, I mean school boosting), but I'm not going to do all his trolling for him. The answer is, pretty mobile, within the south and mid-Atlantic, anyway, and also in New York and DC. Vandy actually publishes full employment lists, unlike 99% of other schools, so you can have a look. The school is very worth your transfer app, IMO.A'nold wrote: Hmmm....that's interesting.

That's good to know, thanks for the info. So, when do the new stats come out?

The anonymous feature exists in a very limited fashion to allow anonymity when disclosing potentially damaging facts regarding employment. Outside of that context, anonymity lowers accountability and disrupts the flow of conversation.jay115 wrote:lol who cares if someone posts anonymously or not?vanwinkle wrote:Both of these posters should be outed.

Also, how do anonymous postings "disrupt the flow of conversation"? This is an on-line forum, which means most of the people you're conversing with are substantially anonymous and will remain anonymous to you unless you know them outside of the TLS forum.

Re: 2009 NLJ 250 Placement Stats
It's not necessarily that OP did anything wrong per say in using the anonymous feature, but that the potential for abuse exists and therefore the moderators are keeping the use of the feature limited in order that such abuse does not ensue.jay115 wrote:OP posted two links and solicited opinions.

If you would like to know why TLS does not permit abuse of the anonymous feature, please visit AutoAdmit and JDU. (It's a similar dynamic, and both these sites are good examples of what we don't want TLS to become.)jay115 wrote:OP posted two links and solicited opinions.

Furthermore, if your logic is correct, you shouldn't need an anonymous feature, as you ought to be amply protected under your username. The community here is welcoming precisely because posters are held to high standards; those who are rude, cruel, or obvious flames find homes on other message boards. TLS is a network of friends who are in law school or currently in the application process. Sometimes we recognize that extra anonymity is necessary (I've used the anonymous feature myself, since I'm not exactly anonymous when posting as OS), but this is done only when I have to write about something job or GPA related. When people post using their regular usernames, it creates a community in which friendships and even relationships (there have been three TLS weddings to date) get formed, as trust is fostered.

Re: 2009 NLJ 250 Placement Stats
No, the logic of the argument does not follow. I distinguished between "substantial" anonymity and "unsubstantial" anonymity by which I mean the former to mean one does not know who the pseudonym corresponds to in the real world whereas the latter one could be identified when sufficient information exists (eg. - IP address, past solicited/offered information, links, etc). In other words, a pseudonym is not sufficient but necessary to achieve complete anonymity that your argument suggests. Thus, the "anonymous posting" option on TLS.OperaSoprano wrote:If you would like to know why TLS does not permit abuse of the anonymous feature, please visit AutoAdmit and JDU.

Regardless, I understand - community of peers who don't slander/cuss out each other as on xoxo.
And TLS weddings? oh my.

Re: 2009 NLJ 250 Placement Stats
"Moderating" the anonymous feature seems to derail threads more than anything. Practically every other thread on this forum has someone asking "why is this anonymous" or bitching about it in someway. Mods should just start temp-banning people, which aren't mods, who bitch about others abusing the anonymous feature.OperaSoprano wrote:If you would like to know why TLS does not permit abuse of the anonymous feature, please visit AutoAdmit and JDU.

EDIT- If this is c/o 2009 (which were hired as SAs in 2007), I can't wait to see what the c/o 2011 numbers look like.
