Business Law

it's important to attend a top tier school if you want a legal job of any kind working anywhere for any amount of time.

Absolutely, the vast majority of attorneys in private practice don't put in more than 40 hours a week.

Re: Business Law
Nah just go wherever for cheap and hang your own shingle. Businesses don't really care about prestige or experience if you can show them you're a hard worker and willing to hustle. Plus, if you're working for yourself you can set your own schedule, unlike the losers slaving away at big firms.john1990 wrote:Is it important to attend a top tier school if I want to do Business Law?

Re: Business Law
I mean, who would a business rather hire? Just a plain old lawyer, or a lawyer who runs his own small business? Obviously they can relate to the latter.rickgrimes69 wrote:Nah just go wherever for cheap and hang your own shingle.

Re: Business Law
No corporate law refers only to businesses in the corporate format. Business law does the same thing but for different types of business entities. Sorry if i'm not taking your pop quizzes seriously

Re: Business Law
You could definitely help me determine if a school like BU is optimal for Business law. Im concerned that the purpose of the t25 is corporate law and that outside of corporate of a3 its not worth the investment.

Let's try it this way. Who do you expect to work for doing "business but not corporate" law, doing what exactly?
