Should I go to law school: 2011 Edition

Lawyer/Mommy/Blogger extraordinaire Lag Liv posted her thoughts on whether and under what circumstances law school is a good investment.  Lag Liv is a Biglaw attorney who graduated from Chicago, and she was answering a query from a reader who got into a few top-30 law schools and who is interested in a career in Biglaw.  I would simply repost Lag Liv's thoughts (and have her permission to do so) but the comment thread her post generated at her blog is also very valuable and offers a broader perspective.   

She addresses, among other things, the importance of law school rank versus class rank and provides a snapshot of the current employment environment in Biglaw.  In the comments, there is a discussion of how law school rank affects certain public interest jobs, clerkships, etc.

I'll direct you to read her post and the comments here.

Current law student, Shan, found that her comment was too long for Lag Liv's thread, so she generated her own blog post on the topic.  She asks a prospective student nine questions, and if the student cannot answer yes to at least one of them, he probably shouldn't go to law school.  Her post is here.

I would likely merely repost Be Liv's thoughts (and still have her permission to take action) though the opinion line your ex publish created from the woman's website is also quite beneficial and provides any larger point of view.

In should be genuine Tera Gold, there exists a conversation of how legislation university position affects certain general public interest work opportunities, clerkships, etc.

I give thanks to Dr oriane for helping me get a permanent cure to Uterine fibroid. I have used different western medication without any improvement, And I could not have a child of my own. I had heavy bleeding, frequent urination, a bulky stomach, and cramping. My bleeding is sometimes so heavy that I can’t go out. I go through 9-10 pads in a day. It is so uncomfortable. I have tried everything you can imagine because I’ve had my fibroid for 12 years but none of it have really worked. They just make you feel like you’re doing something but at the end of the day it's not really much of a relief. People advertise all sorts of “Fibroid Cures”. I’ve tried all that you can imagine and they worked for a little while, but it’s not working out you have to keep on going. You can't really stop taking them. I got the contact of Doctor oriane from the testimony of people on the internet, and I contacted him through the Email and explained everything to him. Then he sent me his product which I used for one month. Now I am completely cured so I really want to tell this to the world that there is a permanent cure for Fibroid. contact him on droriane6@gmail.com, he can help on any health issues  or via whats-app at +2349031652461

After being married for four years, My husband just decide to walk away. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused.I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact Dr Ilekhojie that he could help me cast reconciliation spell to bring him back. I had no choice than to try it. I messaged Dr Ilekhojie and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before three days. He cast the spell and surprisingly on the second day, my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened he wanted me to return to him. You can also contact Dr Ilekhojie if you need help

To anyone out there who thinks love spells don't work, I’m here to tell you that Lord Zakuza love spell is the best and most powerful. I am a wealthy man who has lots of assets and possessions but I have difficulty with women. Whenever I try to settle down with any, we end up breaking up and I had no idea of why I was going through such an experience in my relationship. It was so worrying that I couldn’t be myself anymore and I started searching for help everywhere even at my place of work. I was going through my work activities online and I came across a testimony of a lady called ( Febe Anouk ) regarding how Lord Zakuza helped her to restore her relationship with his love spell, I had to give it a try because I needed my Ex lover back that I love so much. I visited Lord Zakuza website online and I told him everything I was going through. Lord Zakuza consoled me and promised to help me out with my situation by preparing a love spell for me. I followed the instructions given by him to me and within 48 hours, my Ex lover came looking for me and pleaded for forgiveness. Since I came in contact with Lord Zakuza, things have changed for good in my life and right now, I am married with two beautiful kids and my home is blessed. All thanks to Lord Zakuza I am forever thankful to you. Visit his website for any help via lordzakuzaspells.com or WhatsApp him on +1 740-573-9483. Try him and your life will be blessed.
