Law School is a sham

That's worse than just not being strong resumes.

I got an email about some recent grads looking for jobs and some of the resumes I reviewed were terribad.

I actually responded to the email that if they were going to send out resumes the students really need to update them and have career services look at them.

Did they not use the school's Student Services center to look over their resumes first?
 
Has anyone from the notorious class of 2013 found a job outside of the Wake athletic department?
 
'13 would have been the year I graduated law school if I went straight through at Wake...so yeah, glad I didn't do that

everyone's priorities are different. I got a full ride to WFU Law, a great education, and have had a great career student-debt free. I have a strong feeling of obligation to give back to the law school as a result, and I feel it's a good school with good leadership.

Certainly better than giving my hard earned cash to Premier Wellman's directorate.
 
I would have loved to go to Wake for law school but was not offered any money and I read on a message board the statistics of the people that got full rides and my millineal ego got upset.

Yep- same as my son's case. He was MSD Class of '14 wanting to be a Double Deac and got no money from Wake Law.

He received the Dean's scholarship at Campbell Law, made Law Review L1 and has accepted a nicely paid internship at SAS following his recent completion of L2, arguably the best company on the planet to work for.

Needless to say mom and dad are very proud of his accomplishments so far. :)
 
Wake threw some cash at me, but not enough. so went elsewhere and couldn't be happier about it. Plus was ready to get out of Winston unless the money was right. Suckas!

This is me to T a as well. I won't give a dime to athletics, but I feel obligated to give to the law school.
 
Wake offered me a ton of money, but the employment stats and the precipitous ranking fall really kept me from seriously considering it. Plus after nine years in Winston it was time to get out. If/when I get a paying job I plan to throw some bucks to Wake law though

This doesn't solve the problem. Shitty law schools will just be 3 years of bar prep. Those schools can turn a total 'tard into a bar-passing machine in 3 years.

If they wanna go down this road, handle it on the front end - have the ABA require law schools to only admit applicants who score >150 LSAT. You'd go from "there are way too many scrubs going to law school," to a mad dash for schools to be able to find enough qualified candidates.

If the problem is that schools can help anyone pass a standardized test, the solution isn't to link law school admission to a different standardized test.
