These schools would funnel working class kids and children of immigrants into public sector law jobs, an honorable function. And a few of these bright and ambitious kids might eventually even climb the ladder to a state court judgeship.<br /><br />Those days are over. First, these law schools are no longer low cost-- even at the third and fourth tier, they come with price tags from hell. Second, public sector law jobs have become surprisingly scarce due to austerity, which has taken on a cast of permanence, plus the massive glut of both recent grads and underemployed experienced lawyers. Third, public sector jobs have become far more desirable relative to the rest of the legal job market because they may offer such rarities as reasonable work hours, job security, and pensions. <br /><br />Dacier is pretending not to understand, but nobody faults Suffolk for having state judges among its alumni. What they fault the school for is a miserable 37% law job employment rate, estimated debt-financed cost of $255,000, and a median 149 LSAT score. Let's hear him defend those things. dybbuk123https://www.blogger.com/profile/08142974443119061724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363936253583148153.post-46338456014880069272014-07-26T14:28:03.607-07:002014-07-26T14:28:03.607-07:00If you wish to support your "legal brethren&q...If you wish to support your "legal brethren" in that matter, I suggest you pull out a checkbook and help them pay the cost it takes to run a modern, excellent law school.

I guess by supporting 'legal brethren,' they don't mean looking out for the interests of the indebted future or current law graduate. For those individuals, the only support seems to be offering the phrase: caveat emptor. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
