Quite bluntly, I cannot stand people who blindly try to persuade others not to attend a “lower tiered” law schools. Such people have very parochial view of things to say the very least. People like these, who make the USNWR their Bible, would be completely lost without their precious rankings. Such adherences arise out of the genuine fear and insecurity of one’s own abilities. But I say to them that glorifying such arbitrariness is an infantile disease that should NOT be spread. Twenty years ago, there were NO rankings and it really made no differences that I attended a school that is now unexplicably categorized as tier 2. Perhaps, if you are too worried that without attending a top law school will keep you from being a good lawyer, THEN you shouldn’t attempt to become one. It is not for you.
And USNWR should be ashamed of themselves for changing the legal profession for the worse and those who listen these sirens should punch themselves in the face to sober up to reality. A pox on all their houses!

While waiting on hold with the GWU graduate student financial aid office, I read this entire entry. The work you put into making such an important decision is admirable. It sounds like you absolutely made the right choice and I’m glad you’re doing so well. Good luck in Akron!

Comment on Some advice from lawyers by Chris Geyer

Good points. I am thinking about studying environmental law because my father, a doctor, has started an environmental consulting company. I often wonder, though, if that doesn’t pan out if I would be able to have a career that will allow me to pay of debts from law school. I think may people have high ideals when going into law school but those change when they consider their debts.

I can’t stand how some people think if you don’t go to a top 14 school you’re out of luck. Nice post!

Do you actually want to live in Texas? I mean, if you want to really live for cheap you can go to law school in Nebraska…

Hey thanks for the heads up. I’ve been curious to know what other schools recommend, if they recommend anything at all.
