Any Difference Between T2, TTT and TTTT Schools? Forum

[Mal Reynolds]

TTTs are also populated with insufferable law students it seems. They're juts a lot dumber in addition.

1) Why don't we just live in a society where there aren't any rules?
2) Why don't we just live in a society where the rules of grammar are subject to the capricious whims of unattractive women that did not get enough dates?
3) From now on, I shall change the word "the" to the word "and" and vice versa.
4)My law professor did it so now I will mindlessly regurgitate his every word.
5) Oh wait, that would suck.
6) "Am I the only one that gives a shit about the rules?"
7) Pick up a copy of the First Edition MLA handbook.

The first edition of the MLA Handbook was published in 1977. They're on the 7th edition by now. And seriously, if you don't drop this I am going to ban you. This is not the part of TLS to have this discussion and frankly you're being kind of offensive.

That's my whole point... A few tyrants at the MLA/ law school can't just go change the language on their capricious whim (which is why I said look at the first edition, not the seventh).

How is this in any way offensive?

I am a dude. However, when I construct a hypothetical about walking into a small law firm, I am allowed to assign whatever gender I want to the members of that firm. All three partners were male, because that seems right. They probably all graduated in 1963, when only 4% of JD candidates were female. Now, it's basically a 50/50 shot that a young attorney will be a female, so it's not worth getting your testies tied over my decision to have a hypothetical female attorney working at this hypothetical law firm (that's still not hiring, by the way.)

Good luck with your post clerkship job hunt. Also, with justifying your shitty decision to go to law school. I'm sure your charming personality will have you doing DUI defense in no time.

Your offensive comment was to state that the changes in language over the last 40 years - which have paralleled the significant social changes that occurred during that period - have been caused by the capricious whims of unattractive women who don't get enough dates. Also, to say that someone who uses the pronoun "she" has some kind of weird agenda that distracts you simply because they used a woman as an example of a lawyer is also fairly disturbing.

[Mal Reynolds]

Nony I really appreciate your ability to lower yourself to the dumbest of posters and respond substantively to them. But sometimes you just gotta yield your ban hammer more powerfully.

Thank you. Seriously, what are the exit options? JK.

That's my whole point though. Going to law school is not necessarily a bad decision if you go to a strong regional or a T30, you'll be alright.

Am curious to see how this person will answer. It's a sickness.

To be fair, I kind of had a feeling it would throw him off his game.

Things change. Including language. In your isolated world, you might think that the MLA is tyrannically forcing you to recognize that women can be professionals too, but they're probably just reacting to cultural shifts.
Selfie is in the dictionary now, too. Get over it.

Yes, but my inartfully rendered point was that using "she" to refer to a person of unknown sex is "nothing less than the sheer torture of the English language" to put it in SC terms.

[ScottRiqui]

That's my whole point though. Going to law school is not necessarily a bad decision if you go to a strong regional or a T30, you'll be alright.

This might have been defensible if you hadn't thrown in "at sticker" as well.

And quit playing this "originalist" bullshit with language. Why is 1977 your baseline? Why not 1877?

[UnicornHunter]

My initial problem wasn't even with what you were saying, it was your attack on a strawman version of TLS where people tell others to go to the highest rated school possible. But then you started throwing around gems like sticker=100K, small/midlaw is easy, and the whole he/she/niece thing.

Getting back to the point of the thread. Strong regional TTT >/= top of T2 because after T30, it just doesn't matter.

BTW-1977 is not my baseline. "He" is a genus and "she" a species in all of Western languages without a neuter gender. Hence "freshman" "mankind" "mailman"--- It has nothing to do with the perceived sex of the student, human, or lazy federal employee... I believe this goes back to Christianity, since Eve was ostensibly made from Adam and therefore, man is a genus and a species.

Is getting small/ mid law considered hard? Anecdotally, I have many friends who have literally walked into small firms and have gotten offers after 1 interview.

Furthermore, with income based repay, is there much difference between 100k and 150k in debt? I submit no.

So you have no justification for your offensive comments? Okay then. Let's continue the discussion without you.

You weren't a biology or anthropology major, were you? Because I've never heard anyone misuse "genus" and "species" in quite that way.

Holy shit this thread is gold. This kid is either REALLY stupid or bad at trolling. Btw, how is this not moved to a different forum? It has nothing to do with choosing a law school and more to do with grammar

I don't know, it depends on the firm's circumstances. It's not hard in the way getting a V5 is hard, but it's a lot less predictable. Your friends apparently got really lucky and walked into firms that were looking to hire. With more JDs out there than jobs, that's not always going to happen. 60k is a lot of money for a small firm, they usually are going to be more careful with how they spend it.

[Dafaq]

Arguably 25,000 new lawyers will enter the work force this year. For that to occur the the legal profession needs to hire every LS grad from the top 125 ranked schools. Since that’s not going to happen because 10 20% of the class will have dismal scores, the legal community will look well beyond the top 125 schools. Overly simplistic but close enough.

It started about law schools and hopefully has moved back in that direction, although it should probably really be in the Law Student forum, since the OP isn't actually choosing a law school.

[TheSpanishMain]

Is this Aspergers or just retardation? I can't decide but it's fascinating.

[03152016]

If there were really "a shitload of small firms looking for competent (and often incompetent) new hires", then it wouldn't be the case that four out of ten JDs that graduated last year didn't land full-time, long-term, JD-required positions. I find it difficult to believe that that the explanation isn't an oversaturated legal market, but that the un/underemployed are "eeyore type losers".

Or maybe I'm just being trolled, idk
