Things TLS does not know Forum

[rundoxierun]

Congrats man.. you might know a lot about super specific water laws.. you completely picked apart my non-specific generalized example that wasnt meant to signify an actual dispute. Apparently it makes you feel good to bait people into using such generalized statements so you can pick them apart. Males generally have XY sex chromosomes and females have XX sex chromosomes.. now you are good to go for bringing up specific genetic disorders to prove me wrong. Gold Star for you?? Yes, you can start your OWN practice and specialize (i.e. spanish speakers often start practices devoted almost entirely to immigration issues.) but the vast majority of people here are looking to work for firms.

No, you kinda missed the point, dood, you make post staying TLS does not know what its talking about. You then proceed to give information that proves you don't know what you're talking about, that lawyers can't specialize out of law school. You tell me what water lawyers do, as if you have any clue, and say its not what most people on TLS think. (Which obviously includes you)Then you get your panties in a twist. lesson learned, TLS knows more than you do, but not even TLS, or me, knows everything.

Umm no, if you read the post that led to you talking about the water law stuff you will see it specifically referred to "working for a firm" not setting up your own shop or government work. IN GENERAL(which is what anything meant for mass consumption on a message board should be read as) Lawyers will not specialize out of law school. Why is it that TLS is unable to understand that it is silly to bring up exceptions to general statements. When someone says people with only high school degrees make less money than college grads you dont bring up Bill Gates because that is silly. If you start depending on exceptions to the rule we are right back to pointing out that Cochran graduated from Loyola and was very successful and such examples used to promote lower ranked schools.

TLS knows essentially nothing about URM admission cycles or OCI.

I know that OCI will be ranked in the 20s when it appears in US News.

Here's how it works, most of the time. most people don't specialize in law school because most don't know what they want to practice and most people get a job with a firm, and that firms, based on open areas in the firm, decides what you practice. You can target firms that do certain things, and hope you get an offer doing that thing. Buts odds are the firm, and what they have open, not you, will decide what you speclize in. That's how it works for most people. The point is don't come in here telling people you know what's up and they don't and expect people to take your word for it. Also I'll be sure to tell all my lawyer friends that speak Spanish they should be doing immigration work.

Yea, I see.. you are obviously just here to be a dbag because that is obviously in no way what I said. Plus, what you just wrote is almost exactly what I have been saying. Thanks very much for confirming that.

Matthies is great, and OP, your original post really sucks. Just because there is debate or multiple opinions on something doesn't mean no one knows anything about it.

Im sure there are many people on here who know what they are talking about but too many times I read things that are insane. Like telling people who want to work in LA to always go to UVA/Duke over UCLA or telling someone that a spot at Duke/Gtown/Cornell is always worth giving up 15k/yr scholarship at Vandy/Texas(Not real disputes, just examples) Too many times this kind of stuff starts to seem like the consensus and I know it can get to the point where people take it as gospel.

I agree with this completly. And pretty much what i do on here is challnge the "convetional wisdom" when i can, becuase some of it IS just freaking wrong. The thing is there are some things I do know about, those I will post on, and some I don't, those I usually donn't. I asked my question about your response becuase, from my experince, what you said was wrong, and the same as what your rally against. No harm no faul, I think we both agree that nobody is an expert on everything, and my posts where meant to show that, in said of me just saying your stupid and wrong, which you will get alot on here. For some people going to the best school on the otherside of the country will be the the right asnwer for THEM, but I agree, and I think you do to, its not allawys the best answer for someonelse.

See, the examples you give just seem absurd to me. Consensus is that Vandy w/$ is as good as Cornell and GULC, and I'd imagine the consensus would be UCLA w/$$$ would be better than UVA/Duke for LA. In fact, I'd imagine the consensus would be overwhelmingly strong on both of your examples.

Well, I didnt say UCLA with $$$ and Gtown/Cornell were included with Duke so as to not just single out that one school. You will be surprised at how often people say things like "whats 30k when you are going to graduate with 150k in debt anyway." Umm.. its 30k(plus interest).

In many cases, 150 v. 180 isn't that big of a difference compared to the big difference in job prospects.

And stop lumping in Duke with Gtown/Cornell. That is so pre-ITE.

Umm my point is that most of the time the diff in job prospects between a Vandy and a Duke arent going to be that huge if there is any difference at all.

Tk, fix your post. You flipped the authors of the quotes when you deleted one to fit the max of 4 quotes within a quote. Now it looks like you are the reasonable one and Romo is batsh*t crazy. You have been working hard for that reputation in this thread, I wouldn't want someone else to get the credit.

Yeah, tk, Matthies is nice. If you think he's a dbag, watch out.

yea i think Matthies should become an honorary inclusion into the list of very nice perseons.
