Comment on Cognitive Dissonance and Law School Applicants by Slightly Insane (@2esquire)

Amen to Kim’s remark. I purposefully went to a small law school with the intent of being in the top of my class to only become *hoodwinked* into the law school process. Never did I think that I would not even crack the top 20%. I so wish I had known or what to expect when I entered but this was years ago. If I had gone to law school now, there is no doubt in my mind with the access to the internet that I would have been able to excel!!

I didn’t know this until I happened upon your blog. I’m speechless. No comment beyond that–you said it all above and I will pass your blog along.

I also did not know about Larry Ribstein’s passing. I only recently discovered (and commented on) his superb blog. He will clearly be greatly missed.

Jim — my thought on this is that students don’t internalize the fact that 90% of the entering class will not be in the top 10%.

Comment on Susskind on The End of Lawyers by Bill Altreuter

I think Campos is saying more than just that law schools fail to teach real lawyering skills– he is saying that most law students are never going to find work sufficiently remunerative to justify the investment in the training. (He also has some pretty harsh things to say about the present state of legal scholarship.)

I molify my conscience with the thought that the thing I teach (and the stuff I’ve written) has a practical value, but that doesn’t change the fact that my students have spent a pile of dough for a degree that may not have an equivalent value in the marketplace.

Also, valid point. If she was a man, would this have been even a bog deal? What is she was at a charity function with a drink in her hand?

Interesting story. Crazy you she got fired for something more mundane. I hope she wins her suit, but it started in 2009 and is now 2011. It takes so much time and money to see these things to the end.

Sad! Attached with your pet for a long time and it passed away, it feels like your life is not complete anymore. Sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry for your loss. I too enjoyed the pictures of Christopher you shared over the years. Words cannot capture the bond we have with our feline companion. He had a good life.
