I'm not, but with 2,400 applicants for 50 slots, I would be shocked if no one from TLS knew about it. Deadline for the summer was two weeks ago, so maybe they haven't offered all their interviews yet.

I'm doing it as well. I think there's going to be 60-70 interns there this summer.

OP, did you have a question about it?

No, I know they pay. But there seems to be a budget problem... I think...

There are way too fucking many law students.

You try telling people they can't be lawyers making 160K a year. The 27,000 excess lawyers, mostly from the TTT and TTTT knew what they were getting into and still went for it. At some point, you can't hold idiots back from the edge.

How is this helpful? Anyways, anyone know anything about funding?

It's not; there are way too many law students, but they're all there by their own choice. With all of the information available, going to law school is basically like smoking a cigarette or driving drunk or having unprotected sex. You know it's a bad choice generally, you can predict the odds are it will hurt you, but for various irrational reasons you still do it. I would be interested in hearing about the general outcomes from this program. Where do most of these students go after graduation?

It looks like this will be a volunteer position after all.

Did you hear something definitively saying that no one is getting paid?

I received a form to fill out stating that the position will be volunteer, I understand I will not receive payment, etc. I then declined.

Same. I also declined. What did you take instead? Something environmentally related?
