People could post their username if they'd like or they could simply post their stats to remain anonymous. We could send the spreadsheet amongst ourselves in PMs to remain anonymous.
Would you guys be willing to contribute your information once acceptances start rolling in?
The goal would be to ultimately help future URMs. I feel like LSN has too much anti-AA trolling and incomplete information.
It's a legitimate anti URM bias! I saw a user named "Underachieving URM" or something along those lines with a 2.0 and a 135 reporting Harvard accepts. I was pretty disturbed...
I'll do it. Anything to help the community

I was thinking about applying just because they have been giving decisions out already, so it would be nice to be able to show my family something over Xmas break.californiauser wrote:x2.

I'll be gunning for Manhattan.
True, but I like walking and I'm a big fan of public transportation. I hate driving.Mojosodope wrote:The traffic there is just as ridiculous.californiauser wrote:The traffic is ridiculous.mandyjay11 wrote:Where does everyone want to practice after school? How is LA?

Northern Cali, NYC or Atlanta are my top three. I may very well have have to start in NYC though, but I have no intentions of staying here. NYC BIGLAW is the worst.mandyjay11 wrote:Where does everyone want to practice after school? How is LA?

I love love love Cali and there is a need for more black lawyers out in Sanfran/Silicon Valley. It's the same slugging as NYC, though I will at least have the beach and palm trees nearby. Heavy venture capital, IPO, etc. work out there.
As for LA, heads up but it's heavily litigation, with lots of entertainment law, torts litigation, appellate work, etc. My bestie was just offered at an LA firm and though she prefers corporate, would have to start in litigation.
if you're looking for solid corporate law experience, your best bet is NYC, followed by DC and Chicago. Texas is where it's at for energy/project finance aspects of corporate law. No clue about Atlanta.
As I want corp experience, NYC will more than likely be where I start, then after at least 3 years of slavery, plan my escape to Cali or Atlanta or anywhere where it's warmer.
Houston has a nice job market right now. A friend graduated from Houston law school and is now making over 200k at one of the big firms out there. As for me. Im heading North.

Not at all.

How hard is it for someone who has never worked in business to learn the ins and outs of corporate law practice?
