I didn't get ALJ (fuckers passed me by; ain't like I had bigger and better) but I'm on the international journal and Alaska is kind of like a foreign country so maybe that's a tie. I'm still interested in working there next summer; give me a few days to buy PMs (I'm roadtripping) and I'll send you a message. Thanks, Bighead.

there are standardized exams on the doctor track and I could probably have passed them with a couple of months of study as a 16 year old. Doogie Killpatient, MD also one of our (2005) commencement speech guys was a JD/MD who is probably still in school

Would the authors of the OP object to my blatantly ripping it off into a powerpoint presentation I want to give? A bunch of undergrads from an organization I was in have contacted me about law school and the lsat. I only want to give the no jobs, die alone speech once.

Adar posted:I am taking a job on the Isle of Man if that means anything to you I'm probably way off base, but I would guess asset management. Isle of Man is a good place to employ asset protection strategies for US based assets by erecting LLCs, since it is a British protectorate (thereby employing favorable British law into the methodology) reducing the risk that the US courts will not recognize the choice of jurisdiction clause. This is a different tack than is used in Nevis and Anguilla, whose LLC acts are based off of actual US LLC acts (Delaware and Wyoming, respectively) but the results are the same. The only down side is the stricter provisions of 2 or more members required for formation and the fact that accounting records must be kept on the Isle of Man.

Anyone who's done federal loan consolidation have any tips? My 3 step process of fail: 1) I went to the NSLDS to get report/review. 2) Then I log into the servicer's website to find the account number to each loan. 3) Then I don't see the same loans under the servicer's website and have no idea who owns/who services these loans.

My friend's sister just asked me about taking LSAT. Normally, I'd be happy to offer some advice about prep courses and such, except she asked me how to register for the LSAT and where you write it. Maybe I'm just jaded and bitter, but that's basic information I expect someone to be able to figure out themselves. She's also looking at the October sitting without having looked at an exam yet. I'd offer her my practice exam books except they're at my mom's house.

Only thing I've heard is that subsidized staffords are no longer available to law students beginning in 2012. I guess what this means for us on IBR is that these things can suddenly up and vanish a year later. I'm glad I'm already signed up.

You will now be working in a miserable profession in terms of the work you do, but with all the benefits of low pay. I think this thread has been focusing too much on the "no jobs" stuff lately, and not enough on how the job itself will twist and corrupt you as a person. Clearly we need more, "The futile search for money is the only salve for my empty soul, for I have chosen a profession that makes monsters out of men," chat.

Linguica posted:Someone has to pad out the bottom of the curve, so I say she should go for it I told her to look around on the LSAC webpage regarding registration but I gave her a real answer about studying for the LSAT. I hope she doesn't actually go to law school and this is just a phase. Also, I love how even as a law student, my friends will call me for legal advice when they've been arrested. Since I'm a great friend, I never answer my phone when I'm sleeping.

Based on the few news reports I've seen, the bill adds a provision that requires grad students to now pay interest on (formerly?) subsidized federal loans. So I guess the low rates remain, but now they accrue while in school. Goes into effect summer 2012.

A little better than the 8.5% grad plus loans but still quite the chunk of change when you're talking about law school tuition. Biggest mistake of my life was getting a higher education.
