IF you can figure out how to get student loan debt restructured, you'll have a bunch of customers.

i tried to pitch patriot on a student loan startup idea but it sort of fizzled out. my plan was to give private loans to law students at lower rates than federal loans, but w/ GPA stips. if you aren't in the top 20% after 1L year your interest rates skyrocket. i was gonna call it Great White Financial.

there is a very, very real possibility of graduating uva unemployed. don't they hire an unusual number of their own students? lol at virginia being a part of this conversation. also, they cut class sizes recently if i'm not mistaken.

he's a transfer student. he will never wash off the stench of whatever ttt he came from and he probably transferred in just to pay more money. in short, he can go fuck himself, and that will be the extent of my comments in his direction.

It's true that no one really talks about their LS anymore after grad. Probably because everyone takes orders from, and admires, attorneys from lower-ranked law schools. Transfers, even.

bk1 went to a lesser school so that's not allowed. What do you think this is, DLA Piper

re:virginia. from the gsb study:

"There are a few noteworthy differences between these partner rankings and the next
ranking, which is the total number of lawyers in our BigLaw sample as a fraction of a school’s
graduates. Chicago, Harvard, Yale, and Columbia rank as the top 4 and all have much higher
scores by this measure than other schools. Stanford and the University of Virginia both fare
noticeably worse by this measure than they did by the partner measure. This could indicate that
these schools are becoming less successful at placing graduates in BigLaw, given their success
with those that graduated longer ago (that is, partners.) Alternatively, their graduates may be
more successful at making partner and/or more likely to remain in BigLaw conditional on
working there."

obviously, the first explanation is not accurate for stanford but fairly plausible for uva. uva's struggles have been well documented. their most recent data shows them hiring 16.2% of their graduates and struggling to place in biglaw.

on the issue of chicago, are they counting the "partners" at kirkland? because that will inflate chicago's figures for obvious reasons.

So why is it that Stanford places incredibly well straight out of law school but lags behind in partner measures? Is it really all self selection?
