Chicago Grad To Start Law School Nxt Yr Looking For Law Firm Position
Q: I graduated with my BA in Political Science in May 1995, and plan on law
school for the coming year. I am looking for a position within someone's law
firm or private practice.
A:What the hell makes you think that you are so good, that law firms will
come to you. There are plenty of people who are more qualified than that
that can not even get the jobs if they went to the firms. Firms are not
scanning everywhere for help because THEY DON'T NEED TO!!!!
Also, if you plan on putting in this much effort in law school, then your
peers will love you because their grades are based on the other students.
In other words, your laziness will cause other grades to go up. I wish
that you were in my 1L class.
Very highly rated in Intellectual Property law, but absolutely nothing
else. It is the bottom of the barrel of Chicago Law Schools. But having
said that, please understand that it is still a very good school
producing some of Cook County's finest judges (OK, so there is some
patronage involved. Still most are pretty good lawyers). USN&WR rates
them #6 in the nation for IP and a fifth teir school altogether. For
better schools check U of C, NW and CHicago Kent, the only three order of
the coif in chicago.
