While we're at it, let's bring up our prior greatest hits, including taking a jab at representing dolphins:
And, given that "Better Call Saul" took off in its own right, here our prior jab at "S&M", the first time around:
Here is the ad it was based on (Thanks, UConn):
Friends of the movement, print these out and hang them up, give these out as flyers, e-mail them to people you care about. The Cartel is faltering and the correction has been long overdue. Help us spread the word and prevent good people from making a well-intentioned but uninformed educational and financial mistake.
Remember, we don't make any money by issuing warnings. They, on the other hand, make money by enrolling the naïve.
Brilliant and hilarious!
ReplyDelete"It's not about your career. It's about theirs."
ReplyDeletePerfect. A tag line for the ages.
P.S. How much is UCONN paying him? UCONN is a public institution. Can OTLSS FOIA UCONN to get the invoice?
ReplyDeleteThis is *extremely* good work, duped! The quality of work produced by the writers and artists here is astoundingly good. Absolutely amazing; it puts Leiter's dog turd of a blog to shame, along with those of countless other law school apologists.
ReplyDelete"Refreshments will be served." You mean beyond the smooth, delicious speech coming from the podium? Sounds like it was a fun time!
ReplyDeleteThe refreshments:
DeleteFor the profe$$ors and admini$trators: pre-phylloxera cognac
For law students, actual and prospective: poisoned Kool-Aid

Is it just me, or does Professor Simkovic look really HOT in that picture?
ReplyDeleteIt's probably not just me that thinks it, which is why he's the one going around trying to attract students. Another crafty trick by the law school pushers.
Gross. He looks like a used Brillo pad. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Mostly, I'm surprised by the apparent youthfulness of this scammer...like he should know better, and he does know better. He thinks this is an infinitely flexible academic masturbation thing. It's not. This bubble isn't theory, it's real people and real lives. Therein lies the problem with hackademia: they want theory, and untestable hypothesis, but they won't get it. Objectively, law is a terrible investment TODAY even if you're magic and fart rainbows. Mr. Brillo doesn't even deny that - he has to project a better future than the terrible, undeniable present.
DeleteHACK with a poor moral character.
Actually, the hair on his head looks like should belong on another part of his body - the nether regions.
DeleteIn high school we called it "pube head." I'm not sure what it's called now.
Jesus. With a quarter of a million in funding, Simkovic can't even buy a razor.
ReplyDeleteOld Guy
Or tweeze his eyebrows.
DeleteOK, so I guess I am the only person that finds Simkovic to be good looking.
DeleteThis loser is simply lying in order to justify his job and lots of other law professors position. The scams never end in America. They just change form.
DeleteI also find Simkovic to be reasonably good-looking. Don't let that distract you from what he's trying to do for the law school cartel, namely prop up their sagging demand.
DeleteI think using a young professor is all part of a diabolical strategy.
DeleteYou find a young, hip, somewhat good looking law professor (or, at least, the best the law school cartel can do to find one), and you use him to reach out to the young 20-somethings.
They probably focus-grouped the hell out of Simkovic's presentation.
News flash here: Lisa McElroy is a law professor at Drexel who last year was taunting penniless scam victims and flaunting her own luxurious lifestyle. Google her name and check out what she's been doing lately...I can't say any more than that.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, it may have just been a virus that got onto her computer.
DeleteI'm much more interested in hearing about what this Lisa McElroy did to taunt the penniless law graduates.
lol, I've never yet had an anal porn virus "get onto" my own computer. Of course, the fact that I never click on anal porn sites may contribute to that.
DeleteHow come when I get a virus my computer becomes nonfunctional and I have to do a reformat, while McElroy gets decent quality porn and a helpful, grammatical email forwarding a link to it?
DeleteHow did the "virus" know to append a note about writing legal briefs with the link?
DeleteYeah pretty clear that was a "cut and paste" gone wrong. Poor girl. Anal beads. But kinda hawt...
DeleteIf only ever internet fuckup was explained away simply by "a virus did it." While I do sympathize with her plight - long story for another day - I also find it rather amusing that some douchbag middle aged highbrow law professorette has a thing for anal beads and got caught almost literally with her pants down in her office rubbing it to fetish porn.
And if she's into anal beads, god knows what the ubiquitous 70 year old perv who looks at the girls' tits while he's answering their questions in depth is into. Lord knows what you'd find splattered all over their offices if you brought in the CSI ultraviolet lights and orange tinted glasses.
As a disclaimer of sorts, I don't think we know that she was in her office at the time, or even that she had her pants down and/or was "rubbing" "it." I think we should stick to the news article and video in question.
DeleteI also do not want to endorse anyone using ultraviolet lights in a professor's office. What happens in the office stays in the office...until the cleaning folks show up.
I'm just LOLing trying to imagine what would happen if Brian Leiter "accidentally" forwarded the shit he's looking at.
DeleteUConn?!? My alma mater strikes again. What's the employment ranking of the law school again? 140? 150?
ReplyDelete"You. Conned."
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Connecticut. Everything has changed in a short space of 20 years since I've been gone. The insurance companies have moved headquarters to places like Iowa. The Caldor that once anchored a shopping plaza is now a Wal-Mart. The local bookstore (what's that?) is gone. Etc, etc.
UConn law had a place back when CT had a real economy. Now, like the rest of the country, the middle class base is gone. There is little need for lawyers anymore in such a small state with a weak middle-to-poor population.
Yet, look at tuition. It has done nothing but go up.
UConn was moderately solid 20 years ago. Now, there is no need for it, IMO.
And, btw, this is the only law school in CT that is "public"?!?
Take a look at "Costs" from the Wikipedia entry for this "public" law school:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Connecticut_School_of_Law
Costs
The total cost of attendance (indicating the cost of tuition, fees, and living expenses) at University of Connecticut for the 2014-2015 academic year is $71,758.[25] The Law School Transparency estimated debt-financed cost of attendance for three years is $259,533.[26]
Utterly ridiculous..
And, IMO, inexcusable for a "public" law school. Complete nonsense.

ReplyDeleteTo add insult to injury, take a look at the section above "Costs":
Employment
According to University of Connecticut's official 2013 ABA-required disclosures, 41.2% of the Class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation, excluding solo practitioners.[23] University of Connecticut's Law School Transparency under-employment score is 23.5%, indicating the percentage of the Class of 2013 unemployed, pursuing an additional degree, or working in a non-professional, short-term, or part-time job nine months after graduation.[24]
Wow!!
A whole 41%!!
WINNING!!
It used to be that about 5 years out, half the class would remain practicing law.
This school can't even place 50% of its graduates within 9 months into FT legal positions. As we know, the chances of ever obtaining a legal job decrease dramatically after the 1 year mark.
I would surmise that the "New Normal" for 5 years out is.. what? 15% or less of a class year actively practicing law. 10 percent or less, perhaps?
Is this going to be followed by the Tommy Wu seminar?
