Re: Where would Jesus go to Law School?
Haha, I see what you did there. Also, this post is made ENTIRELY of win. To think that the hardest thing to come across would be a good letter of rec.. all his porfessors got mad cause he said he knew more than them- does not make for a good letter of rec.InGoodFaith wrote:ArthuKirkland wrote:This argument is absurd. It is entirely impossible to predict with any degree of certainty where Jesus would attend law school due to his complex application package.
1.) To the best of our knowledge, Jesus does not have an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution of higher learning. We would know if he did, because such an institution would undoubtedly flaunt photographs of him in their alumni publications and admissions brochures. I never received any brochures as a high school senior showing Jesus strolling across the quad or playing ultimate frisbee. If anyone has, please let me know. However, if Jesus based his PS on a famous quote ( Mike Huckabee's "I didn't major in math, I majored in miracles" comes to mind), schools might be willing to overlook this deficit.
No GPA + 175-180 LSAT = Most extreme splitter I know of.
2.) Letters of Recommendation. This is problematic. Who would write them? Obviously his Father would be helpful in this area but as an earlier poster indicated, schools generally frown on family members. Therefore, Mary and, ostensibly, Joseph, are also excluded. This would leave the Disciples, who, considering their prominence and friendship with the applicant, could likely write some very strong letters. They are problematic in that they follow him with nearly blind allegiance, suggesting the possibility of unnatural bias, but if they did write his letters, it would be best to target their letters to specific schools and take the following into consideration:
Simon called Peter-Knew the Messiah very well so could write an excellent letter. Also, generally regarded as the first Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, so in at ND and Catholic w/$. Unfortunately executed by Nero, so some possible C&F issues of his own.
Andrew-Saltire Cross of St. Andrew featured prominently on state flags of Florida & Alabama. In at UF, FSU, & Alabama. Should he elect to attend Alabama, Auburn does not go to the playoffs and (more) prayers are now ended with “Roll Tide”.
James (The Greater)-Executed by Herod. Don't ask people on death row to write LORs.
John-Mormons believe he was immortalized and returned to Earth in 1830. Gets the Savior in at BYU.
Bartholemew (Also called Nathanial) - Not mentioned at all in New Testament, indicating he does not know the applicant well enough to write a solid LoR.
Matthew-Worked as tax collector for Herod. Given prominent government role, target all DC area schools.
Thomas-Doubted resurrection. Do not ask for letter.
James (The Lesser)- If you are considered inferior to someone the king had executed, you are no help in application process.
Simon the Zealot- In Jesus Christ Superstar, tries to persuade Jesus to attack Roman Occupiers. Given opposition to occupiers, could probably write a good letter for corporate law programs.
Jude-Roman Catholic patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes. Target letters to reach schools.
Judas Iscariot-Do not sign the LSAC form waiving right to see this letter.
3.) To address another earlier poster, I doubt Jesus would opt to stay in state given his past run ins with the local governor.
Finally, even IF schools were willing to overlook his glaring lack of a Bachelor’s degree AND he were able to get good LoRs AND he was able to properly explain C&F issues (hey at least he doesn’t have speeding tickets), the difficulty of locating an adcomm that is willing and able to process applications written entirely in Aramaic will mean that Jesus Christ does not get into law school anywhere.
This is why, regardless of their grades, the quality of their school, or their realistic employment opportunities following graduation, gunners everywhere have a holier than thou pretense about them.
This post has so much win, I'm not even mad you resurrected this thread! (see what I did there?)

he already graduated from University of Florida as an undergrad. My money is on UofFbananasinpajamas wrote:Not a religious debate...
But where would Jesus go to law school?
If the divine one was perfect, we could assume a 175+ LSAT.
However, he would have to apply as an international student.
While good softs including water into wine, I do not think law schools would appreciate a letter of rec. from his father (Family does not look good in LOR).
Since Jewish people mostly do not count as URM, where would Jesus go to law school?

Besides his occasional dabbles into charity, Jesus always associated with the most conservative and righteous folks (the Pharisees).

Re: Where would Jesus go to Law School?
he would obviously go to University of Florida, because that's where he played football and won the Heisman trophy in his sophomore year of undergrad
he has a pretty good paying gig now with the Broncos, so I wouldn't advise him to return to school when the legal job market is already so tumultuous

Re: Where would Jesus go to Law School?
Jesus ate with the Pharisees, and it was custom to only eat with the people that were of your class. Since the Pharisees ate with Jesus, that means Jesus probably came from a family line associated with the Pharisees, and his theology was closely related to their thinking. It is because they were so close in thought to him, yet were blatantly acting contrary to their doctrine, that Jesus chastised them. It's not because he didn't agree with them.Moultdog wrote:Haha, love the second part.

Re: Where would Jesus go to Law School?
Jesus would reform the entire system.
Jesus would (1) reduce by about 1/3 the number of law schools and replace a few of the known diploma mills with law schools at 15 or 20 more prestigious colleges and universities (like M.I.T., John's Hopkins, etc.). We would have about 140 law schools.
Jesus would (2) design a better law admissions test, incorporating many aspects of the current LSAT but adding a more comprehensive battery of skills and qualities tests.
Jesus would (3) expose Robert Morse's USNWR rankings agenda for what it is: a veiled but inept attempt to disincentivize law school adcoms from admitting ethnic minorities to elite law schools.
Jesus would (4) start severely taxing the BigLaw firms and corporations that are purposely holding Americans hostage by withholding jobs - artificially keeping the economy depressed in efforts to run Obama out of office.
Jesus would also (5) eliminate bonuses for all but the lowest paid employees until those companies started hiring en masse again, which they can already afford to do but won't.
