it is great that someone added the true employment statistics to the suffolk wiki entry
i think i'll do that for all ny schools that don't have that info listed
mayb we can get some people to volunteer for other states

Now you have me thinking, if you google a law school wikipedia is one of the first pages that comes up. Most 0L's probably look at these. If you read the entries for these law schools it's all positive. Notable alumni, notable faculty, typical marketing nonsense, ect. The employment statistics cited seems to be the schools fabricated versions. It seems someone got a line in there for Suffolk about the real job prospects. If the wikipedia pages actually had employment sections that read like a LST report that would actually help get the information out there a bit better. It's not like the information wouldn't be factual. I'll try to make some edits when I have time.

Someone in this thread asked the question of whether or not there's enough consumer protection in this arena. There's absolutely zero consumer protection. Some real consumer protections *should* exist before a student takes out a 6 figure loan. There's tons of consumer protection now with subprime mortgages, and at least there you are getting an asset. Most TTTDiplomas aren't worth as much as the shitpaper you file in shitcourt.

Also, Brut: Please stop writing in fucking prose.

I don't know if consumer protection is really the solution. I think that people need to be informed about their odds of ever netting out ahead with a law degree, however forcing the decision upon them isn't necessary.

I mean if we were going to stop consumers from wasting their money stupidly we wouldn't allow things like the lottery where your EV is pretty bad. Same can be said with rolling dice when it comes to law school.

I had to literally open two windows and toggle back and forth.

Nice work Scotti.

Assuming this is from Boston public transit? Considering that the majority of schools that advertise here on the New York City subway are schools I've never even heard of (Long Island State Institute Technical University College of Science), I'd argue that this advertisement sets the bar pretty high.

Actually, his would be more like blank verse poetry. Prose is what you've (and I've) just written.

The concept of forcing certain decisions, or prohibiting them, is in it's infancy in federal consumer protection laws. Most consumer protection is geared toward adequate disclosure. Imagine, if after a shiTTTschool sells you on it's amazing clinical programs and you're about to sign over 200k in federal loans to them, they have to make disclosures that basically tell you clinical programs don't mean jack and that your employment chances are nil.

Suffolk, nights?

Yeah, they don't run Harvard at night, last time I checked.

When's the last time you checked?

Before I went to fucking Suffolk.

Okay, listen, I went to UMass. I wasn't insulting you.

Well, I thought you were. So now you gotta buy me dinner.

They get you jobs. Suffolk gets you laid.

Blank verse is almost always completely
Composed in iambic pentameter
I've gotta say, if Brut posted that way
His poasts would endure I am pretty sure

Almost always it is.

is writing in iambic pentameter a general yale policy, or is it only some professors?

I don't sympathize much with people who are "tricked" into attending TTT's. If before making such a large investment you don't perform the proper research you largely deserve the outcome. It takes a minimal amount of research to conclude that attending this level of school is a very poor decision.

So, what? You'll just waste three hours of your day making sure it doesn't happen to other people, but not out of sympathy for them?

I don't follow. The people we're "making sure it doesn't happen to" aren't the same people that are getting tricked. People that want to make a smart investment for the most part will inevitably find the data when they start digging. We're making it easier for them. Nucky was referring to the people that don't bother with any research at all or the people that ignore the relevant data (pretty much people who are presented facts that support not going or to retake but go "lalalala while covering their ears because of what some dean or shitboomer told him/her).

Besides, I am at work and there wasn't a world cup game on at the time. I wouldn't be doing this at home so it's not a waste.

It's required in order to get a in Law and Literature, but generally optional in other classes. Although judging from the way people with good grades speak, it's more like "optional" I think
