just to add some hard data to this discussion…
- 50% of grads from crap law schools are un or underemployed.
- check out the the video to see the real bifurcated salary structure of LS grads. It readily becomes clear that, after three years of LS and thousands of debt, starting salaries are not much more than that of many who get jobs who get jobs right out of undergrad.
btw: These are only Big Law jobs, the firms of which are primarily in the NE (NJ250). And thus, a school like Boalt, which places well into California, won’t be to high on the list. And of course, schools like HYS, who place well into federal clerkships and academia, will be lower as well.
