BC or William and Mary
Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2017 7:00 pm
I want to do Constitutional Law or federal government in DC... Soooooo William and Mary at a full ride plus a fellowship or Boston College with $28,000 a year in scholarship?

Exactly why I asked for more info. OP's goal there doesn't really make sense. The odds of ever actually arguing a con issue are so small you might as well be buying lottery tickets.vcap180 wrote:Dr. Nefario wrote:Please explain further what you mean by con law.

High-level con law? Where is that work even done, aside from SCOTUS?
Yeah, of all the unicorns in the legal field (sports agent, sweet boutique gigs, high level PI, etc) I would imagine that this is the single rarest breed.Dr. Nefario wrote:Exactly why I asked for more info.

The Supreme Court bar is insanely tiny and very incestuous. It is typically made up of former SCOTUS clerks or the same 5 people from the same biglaw firms who brief all the appeals. There's always a bunch of amici filed along with every major case by biglaw firms partnering with random advocacy organizations.vcap180 wrote:Yeah, of all the unicorns in the legal field (sports agent, sweet boutique gigs, high level PI, etc) I would imagine that this is the single rarest breed.Dr. Nefario wrote:Exactly why I asked for more info.
