But what exactly does a three-year, $210,000 (plus) Yale Law School education purchase? In particular, what does a Yale Law education look like?

Commentary: Cancel Yale Law School
If U.S. News and World Report’s ratings can be taken seriously, Yale is home to America’s top law school. Tuition at Yale Law School is just shy of $70,000 a year plus expenses for room, board, books, and sundries, though many students qualify for scholarships and generous financial assistance. A juris doctor degree from Yale opens a great many doors, but it is a fact that fewer Yale Law graduates go into Big Law than their peers from Harvard and other Ivies. Many go into government instead. It’s said that somewhere between 25 percent and 35 percent of all federal clerkships go to Yale Law grads.

If you can spare 39 seconds, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfDt9LQQ7q0 is what I always think of when I hear "Yale"
ReplyDeleteMy special snowflake just finished a year in big law, billed 2700 hours, worked unbilled writing proposals, filing the partners expense reports and other BS. Got paid $200k and walked away. She was not alone as a 1st year leaving big law. Her other three friends also quit big law as not worth it. Now she has a friend who is graduating from Yale law in a few days, he has a clerkship lined up and when he gets done a big law firm will hire him with a $300k signing bonus as a 3rd year. A Scotus clerkship gets you $500k. So yeah it pays if you want to be in the room when the levers of the puppet are pulled.
ReplyDeleteThis culture war can only end in one of two ways. The left, who control government will carry out a political genocide, or the rest of the population will fight back and the result will be the bloodiest civil war in history.
ReplyDelete...or it could just collapse like wet shit and be warlords and walled towns all the way down.
