1) Law school is hard, the legal job market sucks, first year grades are critical to many desirable employment outcomes, and all class are curved such that there will always be a fixed ratio of winners and losers

2) All law schools have a damn near identical first year curriculum, taught by professors who went to Yale* and teach in the exact same method, with the exact same exams, from the exact same coursebooks.

*For the sake of this advice, assume that Yale means Yale, Harvard, Stanford, or possible a T14 / the law school itself

So, in sum,

1) If you go to law school to chill/slack it will be an unmitigated, expensive disaster

and

2) There are no slacker law schools.

HTH.
hey man, i appreciate your input, but honestly, i'm not too worried about that. everyone always said high school is a lot of work. it wasn't. everyone said college is a lot of work. it wasn't. AND.......

You tell'm...

They were wrong about HS.. They were wrong about College (Good job on the 3.13 brah!). They were wrong about the LSAT being hard.. oh wait...153....

Thanks man. yeah i'm like top 40% in my class, and that's like the 58th percentile for the LSATs, so yeah, I plan on staying just ahead of the curve for my law school career, and my real career as well.

AND FOR ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED, MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO BE A JUDGE ONE DAY. ANY ADDITIONAL INPUT IS MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU!!!!!!

(i usually don't write in all caps like that, sorry)

Not planning to my dude, not to worry! For serious, it's people like yourself that will undoubtedly lead me to return here daily and update everyone on my journey to law school. And I expect updates from all of my new friends here too. This place is built on love and friendship, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Cheers.

Then, of your choices, I'd say go with New York Law School. Judge Judy went there. She doesn't seem to work hard and she's a judge.

Yeah I know I was kinda thinking that too, but it's pretty expensive...

Great post btw. Everyone here should take note of holydonkey's posting and try to emulate his feedback style. it would be extraordinarily helpful and appreciated.

and on another note, if anyone wants/needs advice from me do not hesitate to ask! i am very approachable, and i'm minoring in psychology at boston university, so i think i'm more than qualified to evaluate anyone's situation and give constructive advice
