Do TAs and RAs get paid at your law school?
If so, how much? Do TAs and RAs get the same rate? Can you get a tuition waiver?

Re: Do TAs and RAs get paid at your law school?
Depends. For RAs, some pay and some give credit. No idea on the $ but not terribly much. From what I understand, you are paid by the prof out of their grant...not the school. We have no TAs that I know of.

Total compensation for RAs is $28/hr ($13/hr in salary + 15/hr tuition remission)
For TAs it's about $77/hr ($34/hr in salary + $43/hr tuition remission)

Re: Do TAs and RAs get paid at your law school?
Is that per credit hour of the class they TA, or they get paid that per hour they work? So if a TA works 10 hours in a week, they'll get $340 in salary and $430 off their tuition?hdivschool wrote:Total compensation for RAs is $28/hr ($13/hr in salary + 15/hr tuition remission)

What does RA stand for? Obviously not Resident Assistant.

Re: Do TAs and RAs get paid at your law school?
It's per hour of work. There may be some cap on the hours per week, though; the handout lists two example stubs, one with 6hrs/wk and the other with 8hrs/wk.Sauer Grapes wrote:Is that per credit hour of the class they TA, or they get paid that per hour they work?

Re: Do TAs and RAs get paid at your law school?
It's hard for me to drum up a compelling case for why the school should give us a partial tuition waiver, but damn, it just seems like schools should.

77/hr x hypothetical 40 hour week = $3080
never realized TAs made more than biglaw associates on an hourly basis (significantly more since this is using a standard 40 hour workweek)

Think about how much beer money that would have been for us this semester! Like 3.4 times what we got, plus they got money off of their tuition.IAFG wrote:--ImageRemoved--hdivschool wrote:Stanford.Sauer Grapes wrote: Wow... can you share what school that is?
