Honestly if he hadn't paid it off it'd be a pretty good idea - take out a huge HELOC, get a degree that can't be repossessed, then after passing char & fitness board strategic default on that bad boy and fight it out for 5-10 years of free rent. I do plaintiff foreclosure work so I see this stuff all the time and I'm constantly jealous.

The court of appeals is hearing oral argument on a case I thought was a no-brainer 3-0 affirmance. Sweet now I get to have horrible thoughts about having my incompetence permanently memorialized in the federal reporter. The COA has been reversed by SCOTUS like 5 times in the past 10 years (one within the past 6 months) on this law though, so I'm hoping they're just using the case to describe the current standard and spend a brief period discussing how awesome the district court's order was before affirming us. Mmmmm delicious stress bathe me in a sea of cortisol.

So I'm graduating with a double BS in Statistics and Computer Science in May and I have a job lined up when I graduate. However I've always been interested in the legal profession (both my parents and both my grandfathers are attorneys) so I'm planning on applying to law school (though I'm not sure yet if I will go.) My top choice if I go to law school would be UVA (my dad went there and it's in-state). Anyway I have a few questions and this looks like the thread to ask them in: - I took the LSAT in December and got a 171, I am told this is a good score, but what sort of schools does this put me in striking distance for? Does this list include UVA? - How possible would it be to work part-time during law school (not night classes, regular law school)? One of my main concerns about doing law school is that my CS skills will be rusty by the time I graduate, or I will not have kept up with the latest tech, and I would like to be able to keep my skills sharp should I decide to study law. - Any particular advice on getting recommendations? My boss last year was CEO of the company I worked at, so I was thinking he would be a good person to get a rec from, and I know he would write a good one, but a friend of mine told me that law schools are going to want recs from college professors. Thanks!

It's never a good idea to go unless you have a full ride scholarship to a T14. You have a job lined up in a good industry. You do not want to spend $500,000 and probably more* to have an outside shot to get a low paying job in a dying industry. Job prospects are really bad for everyone. You will not be able to work part time and keep up with the top gunners who you need to compete with to get a good job. Unless maybe you bag groceries or something for eight hours a week but then your ego won't handle that. Advice on getting recommendations? This thread is a great place to start. We recommend you don't go. You are welcome. *Remember, it's $50k plus per year for tuition, then room and board, plus you are giving up your regular salary.

Yes, I understand. However I am applying regardless and deferring the decision on whether to attend until I see where I get in. Also I am fortunate in that cost is not an issue for me. So part time work in law school (other than retail stuff) is not feasible? Edit: also I heard prospects are good for patent attorneys, is that no longer true?
