Law School!?

Law School!?

which law schools did x-presidents Lincoln and Truman attend?

it's precisely the ones graduating from the likes of Yale or Havard who will turn this A-country into a B-one, with their "Best and Brightest" arrogance...

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

"Clinton went to Yale. Rhodes scholar. His lovely wife also went to Yale."

It was not his law degree but his PT Barnum qualities to dupe the lemmings that got him where he was.

Prior to politics he never reported earned income of over $35,000 in any year.

His legacy will be the only pres in history to be impeached,convicted of purgury,obstruction of justice and pardoning 70+ convicted fellons including one of top 10 most wanted. The ultimate member of the hall of shame.

but the left if not hard to dupe.

Classic example: The National Organization of Women members campaigned for Clinton and supported him.

If you are a real successful lawyer you can graduate to practicing in Cincinnati

Take a look at this "Garden of Eden"

Cincinnati (detailed)
The median income for a household in the city is $29,493, and the median income for a family is $37,543. Males have a median income of $33,063 versus $26,946 for females. The per capita income for the city is $19,962. 21.9% of the population and 18.2% of families are below the poverty line. Out of the total people living in poverty, 32.0% are under the age of 18 and 14.8% are 65 or older.

"Homeless in Cincinnati" counted 25,488 people without permanent housing in 2000, more than double the 1986 estimate of 9,526 to 11,454.

I believe Andrew Johnson was also impeached.

Ed,

"Bastard" up here in KANADA means friend, you know like AMIGO


I can't speak for Chad, but as for myself I wanted to study law because I am passionate about legal principles, their social application, and their impact on the preservation of justice. I believe that the concept of justice is the very foundation of civil society and that the practice of law is the most effective avenue through which I can contribute to change and improvement in society. The study of law is my personal access to justice.
By understanding the law and working directly with it, I can help people better understand their place in society. Moreover, I have an interest in alternate dispute resolution and the possibilities of arbitration and mediation, as I feel that these techniques provide a firm basis for justice.

I hope to someday give voice to the people who have been traditionally silenced, and law school gives me the tools necessary to doing just that. This is the reason why I'm studying to become a lawyer, not to make big $$ or become the next Prime Minister. Of course, if Chad wants to make it to a big time firm, he better be at the top of his class to do so, but that is not every law student's wish....

Unless you really want to be a big "corporate" lawyer, or be placed in a prestigious firm, it really makes no difference what law school one attends..

It doesnt matter what school you attend? well lets see....do I want the Doctor from Harvard Med or Nashville school of Medicine-do i want the financial advisor from Wharton school of Business or from the Nashville school of Business....c'mon on...If he was bright enough to get into Harvard Law or even duke or Vandy he would go....EVERYoNE can get loans for Law school--before I get bashed here I do know what I am talking about when oit comes to this---that is why 91% of the people or more who get into the the top 10 law schools go to them--because it does matter--the average salary of a Dukie out of Law school is 100,000 after 3 years--I would bet Nashville is like 25,000---look it up--you can find these stats easily on the internet.....but plaease Tao do not use work as a reason why you are there--you are there becaus eyou could only get into a school like that......

 

[kosar]

Wow! Talk about Class A assholes. I'm not the least bit surprised that the loser worm posted his usual crap, but I am a bit surprised that Eddie reduced himself to this level. Not that he isn't generally petty and self-indulging, but it seems a little bit weird. Not to mention, Eddies posts have regularly had many simple spelling and grammatical mistakes, not to mention the one in this thread pointed by Mama. These ain't typos. Mister erudite is a dumbass, basically. Wherever this guy supposedly got his law degree from should be embarrassed.

Taoist is busting his ass, getting a law degree while working a full-time job and you two pricks have nothing to add other than to bash where he gets his degree? You have to be kidding me.

He wasn't bragging about anything, and never has. So what i'm trying to figure out is why you clowns are chiming in and bashing him.

Worm, ask your daddy how to respond, you prissy little dumbfukk.

kosar:

agree with everything you said. worm, what you said was some first-rate asshole kind of stuff- not to mention the fact that what youre saying is garbage. if you genuinely believe the bullshit that you post, then youre an idiot. certainly i have no problem with you personally, but what you posted (and those pretentious feelings you harbor) makes you look foolish. cmon man. i certainly dont consider myself better than anyone else because of any education or schooling; at the same time, i know many people who have graduated from the most prestigious schools that are inferior in skill when compared to some other grads from "lesser" institutions. lots of morons walking around with $150k degrees, and thats a fact.

 

[hellah10]

wow, this thread has definatly gotten out of control...

 

[worm44]

whoa, slow down people--read my post again-sound out the big words if you must--I did not say a thing about how hard he works, I said nothing about him other than the fact that there is a reason why schools are how they are--aS a general rule you have to be more competent as a student to get in the likes of a Ivy league graduate school-I know there are the people who get it on money alone-lets not go there but your LSAT score are higher your GPA is got to be higher etc....Thats all I am pointing out...the smarter people as a rule by % go to better schools-period...how can you argue this? Thats my point...thats why these graduates get more $$ and go to the bigger firms because they as a rule are better---yeah lots of people pass the bar from the Cooleys and the Ohio Northerns etc but if you really are trying to compare Nashville school of law to any first or second tier school you should do some research.....GL Tao, I do not know your situation but what I state here is correct

 

[worm44]

oh and Kosar you still wearing wife -beaters, and slugging Colt 45? Pump-up the tires and move your house--you always lurk around looking to pounce when you have no idea what you are talking about---your idea of education is reading the back of your food stamps. Did you graduate high-school? Probably not-you got kicked out I would guess.......Just another transient in Florida looking to live of the system.....loser:thefinger

 

[DR STRANGELOVE]

Sorry that this thread is off topic but I need to clear a few things here...


Worm,

since you brought up the LSAT and seem to have some knowledge about it, I shall discuss it in greater detail. For the record Chad's LSAT score and grades were good enough for admission to a TIER I law school. Harvard, or Yale, probably not as the median LSAT score for such schools are in the 170's with a GPA of 3.8 or greater (majority of students). I'm not going to discuss his personal business since it's not my position to reveal personal info, but if he wanted to he could have attended a prestigious school, top 20 for sure. Why didn't he? Only Chad knows and he doesn't have to reveal his reasoning.

There are many types of law out there and most schools have a area of law that they specialize in. I know that my school specializes in labour and employment law. Other factors are also taken into account when making a decision as to which school an individual chooses. These factors include: distance, tuition cost, campus facilities, environment, housing costs, job placement etc etc. So please don't tell me that the best students always go to the top schools.

Do the best football players go to the best football schools when making a choice where to attend college/university??????..........

Again, let me repeat, Chad had the marks and LSAT score to make it to a top school, it was his decision not to for whatever reason(s).

There are many top firms in Toronto that have selected students from the lowest ranking law schools in Canada, but they are usually at the top of their class.

One also has to consider if the individual wishes to open up his own office, or work for a firm for the rest of his life. There are just too many factors that come into play here that have to be thought out before you can make such statements as those above. Come on man, you know better than that.

 

[Eddie Haskell]

I'm done.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Hmmm Eddie--and just when I was beginning to think there was hope for you,you deal me a huge disappointment.

All this preaching about helping "the little guy"

your quote
"Sounds like he has his career expectations in order by planning on opening a store-front shop in some Tennessee town (with a population of less than 500) and doing a lot of pd work (public defender for you non-lawyer types)."

It confirms my initial suspicions that you,as well as many,but not all PI's (personal injury attorneys, for us non-lawyer types))in fact look down on the lower class (and apparently those that defend them) and in fact in is the portion you pocket from their misfortune (real or otherwise) that is the primary goal.

[worm44]

Great-thanks Dr Strange--I did not need his scores-I was not bashing him personally i was making a general statement about the mojority of Law students who say they go to this or that law school because thats where they wanted to go-"I didnt want to go to Duke"--B.S.-they couldnt get in..if thats not the case with Tao fine-I said the vast majority...My father is attorney I have my youngest sister in a tier 1 law school-my best man and best friend is a lawyer-I know of what i speak....thats it ...no harm...everyone is so fast to pull the trigger on trying to find something wrong with posts from people who know a little more than they do... (kosar)...

 

[Spock]

I hope to someday give voice to the people who have been traditionally silenced, and law school gives me the tools necessary to doing just that.

The Vulcans have been silenced for far too long. We need more earthlings like you Dr. and Lawyer .. .

 

[taoist]

...for the record, I could give a fawk less about the Ivy league or living in the Northeast in general.... I WAS admitted to go to both Vanderbilt and Univ of Virginia, two of the "more prestigious" law schools in this country...but choose to stay here and not run up an enormous amount of debt by going to school on loans. I opted for the more difficult and more noble route of paying my way as I go, so sue me.

As for my credientials, I graduated the Univ of Memphis at the top of my class with a 3.96 (out of a 4.0) in Finance and Economics...and had a high enough LSAT score to attend most any Law School I choose to go to....and there are posters on this board that can back up every word I say.


As for Eddie, I really would expect more from someone that's actually been through law school and knows of its rigors; however, I will reluctantly grant him a pass....


As for Worm, we all know what a classless loser he is, so I will keep him on my ignore list and wish him a nice, warm...


FAWK OFF!!!! :gf:


p.s. Why did this thread become about my life when one poster asked a simple question about where I go to law school? Thanks to most everyone that has replied in my defense.

I am finished with this thread and this subject....

 

[AR182]

taoist,

you don't have to explain yourself to anyone on this forum. however you should be commended that you are working to pay your way through school.

good job!!!

 

[DJTranks]

Taosit -

Ignore the BS that ppl give you, you are well respected on this forum, and hell of a job with your 3.96!!!!!!!!
