Top Law Schools

What happens to them?

They don't go to law school. The small percentage that does racks up major debt at a TTT and ends up writing long, self-loathing exposes on JDUnderground.

It is my (somewhat limited) experience that if they do not get a better LSAT score, they do not go to law school.

So basically, only about half or a little more of LSAT takers go to law school?

I have a friend who got in the mid 140's. He's attending a small TTTT school. He hopes to get high enough grades to transfer but I wouldn't want to be in his position

I know a kid who pulled mid 140s with a sub 3.0 GPA. Going to a TTTT, but he just needs a law degree to work at his dad's firm. I imagine anyone else in this position would just bail on law school.

Wow. Talk of a near total lack of professionalism. A firm no one should EVER have any business with. Warn their clients to take their business elsewhere.

Um.. not everywhere. But yeah, you have your usual rustbelt junior-junior morons who inherited their near-failing businesses from their granddaddies, doing business with equally moronic nepotistic lawyers and other such fluff, and then whining about China and demanding protectionism.

Ever noticed how the most successful (perhaps the only successful) industries in America are ruthlessly, pointedly meritocratic - the Silicon Valley being an obvious example?

Seriously, nepotism (and pretty much everything and anything dependent on connections - union jobs being an even more disgusting example) is dangerous to the economy and I strongly recommend ceasing to do business with any firm that has even a whiff of it going on. For America. (/saluting the flag)

+180

I would also add that this shows up in a lot of firms in terms of hiring Greek brothers and sisters from their old frat or sorority. That kind of stuff is what leads to failure on massive levels (see Arthur Anderson).

They go to Cooley and then get forced out after their first year.
