Question about law school goons. What are the thoughts on Iowa? It's ranked 26 in the country so not terrific in the grand scheme of things and it's very Midwest on its employment statistics so I'm aware if its weaknesses. That said, this morning I found out they were giving me a full ride scholarship in return for 10 hours per week of work in 2L and 3L.

I'm not familiar with Iowa specifically, but I went to another well-ranked but mostly regional law school. If you actually want to be a lawyer and you're getting a good scholarship and you want to practice in that school's region, then you're good to go. Still, don't overlook the fact that this path basically commits you to being a lawyer.

We hire retards from Iowa. As long as they're highly ranked in their class. So I say go for it. What's the worst you have to lose, three years of your life to end up loving shoveling over priced coffee? And think about if it works out. For $200-300k a year, you get to be anally raped by people who work in the business world, only putting in 80-100 hours a week. Reviewing boring loving paperwork the business people are smart enough to ignore and make you haggle over. SlyFrog fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Dec 13, 2013 |

Real answer. Good: awesome city, good facilities, decent faculty, excellent reputation locally in New Orleans. Good admiralty program if you want to practice admiralty law (you don't). Great criminal clinic if you want to practice criminal law, but soul-crushing criminal justice system in Louisiana and NOLA. Good reputation regionally (e.g Houston) and actually sends people all over the country. Pretty laid back professional community with good lifestyle appreciation. Bad: expensive school and smaller alumni network outside of southeastern Louisiana (though no real reason to go elsewhere in Louisiana unless you are from there). Smaller legal market limited largely to oil & gas exploration, admiralty/shipping both brown and blue water, insurance, and energy sectors. Kind of insular legal community with people who care more about which high school you went to over anything else. Salaries in legal market are depressed though cost of living is certainly not.

Kalman posted:The worst part is when the case settles the next day. No, that's the best part. As a partner here in the office says, the best transactions are the ones where your client spends $500,000k in fees and then both sides amicably decide not to do the deal. Because you get paid, and no one critically examines your documents and sues you for malpractice six months after closing when one party wants to sue the other. This, on the other hand, is the worst part: quote:unless two months down the road they wonder if there is an affirmative defense in there they need, it isn't, then you get fired.

I work entirely in commercial litigation. Do transactional firms often deal with malpractice issues arising out of deals they negotiated? Because we see some righteously terrible contracts on a regular basis... Just wondering how far up the chain liability travels.

the milk machine posted:I work entirely in commercial litigation. Do transactional firms often deal with malpractice issues arising out of deals they negotiated? Because we see some righteously terrible contracts on a regular basis... Just wondering how far up the chain liability travels. Yes, they do. I have been fortunate so far, but half the time I think "malpractice" really just means your number came up on a deal that went bad. It's always easy in hindsight to ask why something wasn't documented, etc. Those people who accuse generally weren't on the calls with the client when the client said, "Stop making this loving take so long, we don't need all that poo poo, I just want to get this done." Or they were on the call, and they just lie about it, because you know, the attorney should have known better and anything bad that happens really should be the attorney's fault, I mean what else am I paying him for if not to make sure the result is what I want. Aside, of course, from the impossibility of guessing in advance everything that could go wrong and documenting for it. Of course, this is what leads to the 100 page document with 97 pages of "boilerplate" that large firms use to order lunch.

I hear that. A large portion of the problems we seem to run into arise from business-side people fiddling with language and clauses on their own anyway. And yeah, we get the "just get it done already" plenty in litigation too, but we basically never hear "malpractice." Practicing law, man.

I never hear malpractice. Instead I live in mortal fear of clients, you can't leave out an affirmative defense because later if another joint defendant has it, the client starts asking why, goes to the most senior partner whose case it is, he goes to the actual partner dealing with the issue asking why he is getting poo poo from the client and what are you doing to my case, and then that partner goes to you and says why are you loving up and then I don't sleep at night as I dream of living in a cardboard box in Central Park.
