Case and point.
Case IN point.

(Since this thread is shit anyway I thought I'd add grammar nazi.)

In all honesty, I appreciate the correction. I've been living on this planet for 20+ years thinking it was case and point. The more you know ;)
at least someone got something out of this thread

cravath asks for undergrad transcripts for 1L positions.

the legal profession revolves around "prestige"...it's stupider in practice than the arguments in this thread...brace yourself.

i'm pretty sure the 16% of harvard grads that don't fall into those categories are perfectly happy with their outcomes (even if you might not be)

I've gone back and forth on whether you're trolling or just obtuse, but now I think I've settled on trolling.

Emu is gatrialing. Making shitty arguments until he gets pwn and then goes a bit further and pretends the whole thing was trolling

haha nah, other than the 5% of harvard students who go for academia/some prestigious PI position and have to settle for biglaw, i think everyone is as happy as they're going to realistically get with law school employment outcomes

i haven't felt pwn'd at any point during this thread. i can make valid arguments and troll at the same time; the compliment each other pretty well, considering people get equally pissed at both

she's transitioned into some kind of low grade performance artist, but if she's ever going to be successful she needs to take it off the internet and run the alternative comedy circuit with this irredeemably obnoxious prestige whore character she's developed...otherwise it's just another shitposter taking the "I was just trolling/having a little fun because you guyz are too seriouz" exit option.

Based on?

Are there really a lot of people with this thought process, or is it a rarity? Obviously a school like Yale, Harvard, or Stanford is going to yield good outcomes for the vast majority, but for a person to think that every single solitary person who attends a school like Harvard has a great outcome is baffling to me.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Oh no, I'm sure that your ASW experience was eye-opening, and that no one from HLS has ever ended up jobless or in a job they didn't want.

Is there something magical about HLS that makes them like shitlaw and underemployment? Or do you think those jobs are just better? If so why harvard, HLS isn't even close to a necessity for that. Using your logic, the 30% at Michigan should be enjoying it just as much right?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
