"People who go to law school don't get a job" Forum

That's my point. It has a monopoly on this niche and it could be a better outlet.

And my point is the anonymity of the internet means the good will always come with the bad in a place like this.

But my point that is when bad dominates the good, that's not good. I think it depends on what people want from this site. If people want an avenue to vent, then ok. If people want supplemental advice, then ok. If people want general job advice, ok but nothing that would surprise you. But c'mon, there is a ridiculously long thread about what to wear. Seriously.

ITT: 0L complains that site run by law students isn't indicative of what a site run by law students should be.

There's a very meta-joke in here somewhere about you and how you ironically underestimate aspie-ness of law students but I'm too lazy

Because using the mentally challenged as a scapegoat is a cool thing to do?

Non 0Ls should be working right now. Not sure why they're hanging out on a TLS forum.

Have to say I might agree with you there.

If by biggest, you mean no one knows about it, then ok. I love what the site was supposed to represent. I randomly came across it months ago, but I know of no one except maybe one other person that knew about this site.

If you search "law school" on google, TLS is on the first page.... Its really not that random for anyone actually looking.

Hey BearsGrl, in what context have you worked with attorneys or how do you know them or whatever? Just wondering!

I don't disagree with that. I never said that it wasn't searchable. I just said that it wasn't a go-to site for folks when conversing with them. That's how I randomly found this site, but I know many, many people who did not.

Anyone who applies to law school without googling "law school" gets what they deserve.

Relevant: I was talking to a girl I work with who is about to start in the fall at UGA. Making small talk, I said the new employment stats looked good. She replies with "Really? That's good, I haven't done much research regarding employment".

She's loan-financing everything.

People underestimate how willfully uninformed many law students are, especially those that are at the state schools and below.

She may not need to care if she has boobs

I told a UMiami law student I would be overjoyed if I got into UVA, and he said "Really? Just go to UM. They're, like, peer schools." That's when I decided to stop telling people IRL that I'm applying to law school.

The most recent person that I know, earned a 3.8 at a decent school and had a couple of job offers. She turned it down to take classes. Not knowing about this site doesn't mean you make wrong decisions.

Didn't you say that you lived in SF? Why would you be applying to UM anyways? Do you not live in SF now?

Not true. Evidence: entire UC system.

No, I moved back to Florida once I realized that community college in California is four times the price of a university in Florida. Even living in Miami, I wouldn't apply to UM. The stories those 3Ls tell are terrifying.

Seriously, like half my classmates at my T2 have no idea what the state of legal employment is after 1L. A year they've been doing this and they all are like "stop worrying, we'll all get jobs! as long as you graduate you can get a job! C's get JDs!" Most of the rising 3Ls don't either. Only the ones graduating seem to realize that we only have a 75% full time JD required placement. And none seem to realize that for a school in our rank that's actually quite good.


ETA: and my state T2 is only cheap in comparison to the private schools charging $45K a year...
