To put it in perspective, there is now a line out the door of experienced lawyers for public defenders jobs.
A friend of mine is in the top 20% of a top 20 law school and is hoping to hear back from American Samoa and rural Georgia districts. No one in his third year classes have jobs. Law school is a horrifying investment if you're not in the top 30% or so at a top 5 school.
Non-dischargeable student debt is a nightmare.
- barry-cotter 16y agoTop 20 Law School is not a real category, in much the same way that top 5 CS grad school is not a real category. In both cases there is a sub group that may change their internal rankings but which are reliably above the others. In CS the top 4 are CMU, MIT, Berekeley and Stanford. The second tier are not playing in the same league. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_school_rankings_in_the_United_States#Consistency_at_the_top_of_the_U.S._News_Rankings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_school_rankings_in_the_Unit...
