<p>Jae J, what is a LDS Church member? Do you have to be Christian? just curious. lol.</p>
<p>AmandaisaGator: A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (more colloquially known as the Mormon Church).</p>
<p>[The</a> Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints](<a href=“http://www.lds.org%5DThe”>http://www.lds.org)</p>
<p>“3,725 large per semester for LDS Church members and 5,588 for everyone else.”</p>
<p>Note that although you don’t have to join the church to attend, you do have to follow church rules, on and off campus (i.e. no alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, extramarital sex, conhabitation, etc.). It’s not a realistic lifestyle change for most people.</p>
<p>Is that BYU?</p>
<p>jason, I went to this Q&A session with a Cravath partner for the prelaw society, and I was told $2700 a week. </p>
<p>I assume in 5-10 years it’ll be around $3200-$3500.</p>
<p>Summer associates make $3077 a week, the same as first-year associates.</p>
<p>Is there something this guy from Cravath doesn’t know? I think he said $2700.</p>
<p>Apparently he doesn’t know that his firm, like every major firm in NYC, raised starting associate salaries almost a year ago. It was $125K for years ($2400 a week), then went up to $145K ($2700 a week), then to $160K ($3077 a week) sometime early this year. The move from 145 to 160 seemed to happen so quickly that I’m not even sure any summer class ever got $2700 a week. Possibly the '06 summers, but they would have been the only ones.</p>
<p>The NALP directory at [url=<a href=“http://www.nalpdirectory.com/]NALP:”>http://www.nalpdirectory.com/]NALP:</a> DLE - Directory of Legal Employers<a href=“don’t%20know%20if%20I%20can%20post%20this%20link…if%20not,%20just%20google%20it”>/url</a> lists information about summer associate salaries from lots of firms (mostly larger ones) and some government and public interest groups. It’s a good place to start your research on summer associate salaries and job opportunities, with some caveats:</p>
<p>some firms might raise their salaries from the time they reported the information to when this year’s summer associates start work.</p>
<p>the billable hour requirements are probably pretty low. Yes, you can work the “minimum” at some firms and not get fired, but it’s not exactly a path to partnership or good recommendations. </p>
<p>the diversity numbers aren’t always reliable, since people come and go from firms and some employers don’t want to ask people to identify themselves by race or sexual orientation (and these aren’t things that are necessarily obvious from looking at people).</p>
<p>Hello everybody. I’m a lawyer from the Philippines and I would like to study law in the US and hopefully practice therein. Based on the information I got from the internet, a foreign law graduate cannot take the BAR here in the US without first studying law from an ABA approved law school. In this regard, do I need to take law all over again or is there any ABA approved law school that would credit some of my law subjects taken in the Phil? </p>
<p>There is a hearsay that a foreign law graduate can take the NY BAR without enrolling in an ABA approved law school. Is this true?</p>
<p>If ever I decide to take up law here, what again is the cheapest law school which is an ABA approved law school? I would just probably take financial aid since my grades are not high to get me a scholarship here. </p>
<p>Furthermore, which State has the least difficult BAR EXAM? </p>
<p>Finally, what advice can you give to foreign law graduates who would like to practice law here? - easiest way to become lawyers here.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>New York will allow you to take the bar exam after getting an LLM (one-year) degree. This is the usual path for foreign lawyers wanting to practice in the US. Some states require a U.S. JD.</p>
<p>Thanks Hanna. Do you know what is the cheapest law school in NY which is an ABA approved law school?</p>
<p>(SUNY)- Univ of Buffalo. Tuition for NYS residents is around $13,000. OOS tuition is around $20,000. (Yes for the law school- not UG). My guess is that U of Buffalo is the cheapest law school in NYS.
and they have an LLM program for International students.</p>
<p>…I’d rather fork out $150,000 for Yale Law School than go to John Doe Law School for free.</p>
<p>1.) Law schools may offer financial aid; I don’t know how international residency status affects this. The cheapest law school by tuition might not actually be the cheapest.</p>
<p>2.) Different law school brands have different values in the US marketplace, depending on what you’re doing. Taking out $200K in loans for, say, Harvard Law could conceivably pay itself back compared to $100K in loans for a lightly-regarded school. Possibly. However, that’s assuming that one even has access to those sorts of loans; again, international residency may affect this decision.</p>
<p>I won’t fork out $150k for Yale Law, but I’ll certainly fork out that much money for another top5 (Harvard, Stanford, NYU, Columbia) or even top 10 (aforementioned schools+Penn, UVa, Mich, Duke, Chicago).</p>
<p>Though it seems that NYU Law grads have a lot of power in Manhattan Law firms…Wachtell’s founding partners are NYU grads (ALL FOUR NAME PARTNERS) and Cravath’s managing partner went to NYU (CAS and law school). And that’s just two examples. But then NYU’s very highly regarded as far as the law school goes (sometimes even higher than Columbia).</p>
<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>i’ll appreciate help, looking for an ABA approved school with international corporate or business law that is cheap.</p>
<p>Any info is appreciated</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
