“Don’t go to law school. And don’t go to
a second-tier law school. And, if you do,
make sure it’s accredited for Christ’s sake,” by Hamilton Nolan (Gawker)

Nolan continues to mercilessly poke away at law schools. Any peeps out there still
considering law school should take a few moments and read the comments in the
twenty discussions posted with this article.

bubble—firms, schools, and disillusioned lawyers paying for decades of greed
and grandiosity.”
It is great to see that the mainstream press is still covering this filthy industry. Perhaps, the writing is on the wall - and these publications want to be able to document the fall of the legal "profession."
ReplyDeleteI don't think the law school faculty and administrators realize that everyone else in the world (attorneys, law students, and obviously lay people) is enjoying the hell out of watching this slow motion train wreck unfold. Why? For lay people, it's because they hate lawyers across the board. For attorneys/students, it's because we know, intimately, how the faculty and administrators are the most vile swine imaginable.
