Best Supreme Court Clinics?

Post by BillsFan9907 » Thu Jan 29, 2015 10:34 am

Which school is considered having the best Supreme Court clinic and why? Are there some close runner ups? I was looking at Penn's and it seems incredibly expansive.

The one at UT won a case this year. UT isn't even a T14. I'd imagine any of them would do the trick.

Definitely not a reason to choose a law school.

Would you say it's basically not even a consideration unless the schools were close to even in employment stats etc?

It's not a consideration at all.

You can use it as a tie breaker if you want amongst peer schools I guess. Honestly I think it's way down on the list of consideration though

Better Supreme Court clinic is way, way behind things like better cafe, better coffee cart, or better bathroom stalls

Pretty sure Stanford has the one that accomplishes the most. But of course I don't disagree with any of the above.

I'm not a huge fan of the coffee either. And George's is awful (minus the breakfast tacos, which I still nom on)

If I had my priorities in order as a 0L who knows if I would have attended UT

Yeah if you've gotta go #2 at UT, the choice is clear.

wut

I loathe those "breakfast tacos" (their green salsa is pretty good though)

their pizzas/stromboli are acceptable

I'd flip this (although I do eat the pizza if I don't have/am too lazy for any other choice)

The green salsa is why I eat the tacos, basically

I don't know why Texas thinks that what are actually taquitos, burritos, etc. should all be labelled tacos. It's weird.

I would say that Mexican food in Texas is by and large subpar but I don't want to get in any arguments with Texas Mexican food apologists or hurt their feelings so I won't say that.

Speaking of which, access to not subpar Mexican food is probably a better metric for choosing a school than the relative strength of their Supreme Court clinic.

I'm glad this topic turned into a discussion of things that matter. Not even sarcastic.

WUSTL does not have enough bathrooms/bathroom stalls. And there's only one starbucks on campus and it is subpar.

Didn't know about the Justice Center stalls

UT's bathrooms are terrible. The sole positive is seclusion: they're so terrible that you usually don't have to worry about others using them for heavy duty (pun intended).
