Capital is climbing the ladder

Capital may have just moved up.  I forgot about this, but they have a Greece Study Abroad program!!  Spouses can come as well!

However, they do admit non-Capital United States law students enrolled in American Bar Association-approved law schools.  So its possible I could spend 5 weeks on the Greek beaches while Zac studies EU law even if we go to ( Read more... )

I think Isaac needs to stop reading so much, stop the business card presses and retake the LSAT.

Even public service is very competitive, and schools like Regent and Capital are usually just black holes of tuition with not a whole lot of opportunity to offer.

It might seem like I'm just being rude and am not credible, but think about it yourself- 200 or so ABA law schools. Assume avg. graduating class size is 200 students (I think that's reasonable, I think here at UVA it's 400 or so and that's big.) That's 40,000 lawyers graduating yearly. Do we really need 400,000 new lawyers every 10 years? No way. That's why the prestige of your school is such a big deal- law is snooty and there's way way too many lawyers so the fastest way to weed a bunch out is to cut the guys that go to tier 8.

I have a friend who graduated from Rutgers-Camden Law last May that works at Best Buy. She finally just lined up some contract attorney work, but that pays not much, offers no benefits, and won't last very long. It's rough.

I have, however, heard very good things about Capital School of Hair Design.

He had a 158 on his LSAT, which isn't horribly bad. We have applied to St. Louis U, which is Tier 2. His LSAT is above their median. We just haven't heard from them yet. We aren't too worried about jobs. Also I've heard a lot of students who transfer into "upgrades". If all else fails, his dad is an attorney and the director of two state agencies said that he'd like to retire and open a firm with Isaac.
