I know a few stories of law school Tier 3 graduates who now earn millions as lawyers. They are mostly self-employed and run their own legal businesses. Some graduates have partnered and opened their law firms as a group – they are doing well. But, caveat emptor. I shook my head because. Obviously, he hadn`t learned much in school. I mean, how on earth is this fool going to practice as a lawyer and possibly defend others if he can`t even figure out how to put a proper license plate? Even for people who are not looking for a JD, common sense could have solved this problem EASILY. I have seen the unaccredited law school go bankrupt, leaving students in limbo, with student debt. Unless you`re rejected everywhere else, unless you can`t pay more than $10,000 in total student debt to go there, they`re not worth it. I find it strange that a university like Temple has a law school, but also teaches medicine and dentistry, so why not law? If you look at it, Temple University is more or less on par with San Diego State U. in the ranking, and yet the private Catholic school that is slowly fading is the one with the law store in San Diego; All other lawn skiols are freestanding.

Beasley has a trapped market in Philly City law, and I`m sure students are being asked to target niches in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.___________. The temple is now in the midst of a desperate boom in building to make the school look like a university – new library, student housing, adding wings to existing buildings, etc. Before all this, it was like an overgrown junior college, an atmosphere not supported by the fact that Temple does not have its own separate campus; TU buildings are located next to terraced houses (some inhabited, many not). Each building has a door guard on a single entrance and all other doors on the ground floor are placed so that people can exit but not enter. They did this to keep abusers out in bathrooms (a 1980s problem, so I read.) All students flash ID cards at the guards, otherwise they will be arrested. Beasley circumvents this by having his own separate entrance with a staircase leading to the “first” floor of the law school; I think the school is spread over three floors in a building on Broad Street. They also have their own small law library in another building a few addresses away. While there are various rankings, most authoritative law school rankings are typically published by U.S. News & World Report. They are based on various criteria, including student-faculty ratio, bar success rate, placement success.

Also on graduate employment figures, salary level, general career benefits and other criteria. Old man, you are far too generous with Loyola-Chicago (warning, I participated in this dump and I do not include the diploma on my resume). Only 57% of Loyola`s graduates from the class of 2016 received FT, LT, Bar Passage required. 9% of graduates were unemployed in March. The school had a terrible pass rate of 77% last July. Despite these pathetic results, the school charges more than $47,000 in tuition. In comparison, NIU had a ranking of 59% in FT, LT, Bar Passage required jobs. And only 6% of graduates in the class of 2016 were unemployed in March. The school had a slightly higher pass rate of 81% in the July 2016 exam. Full-time tuition is only about $22,000. At least Loyola-Chicago belongs to your ranking at the same level as NIU.

In reality, these schools are so bad that people wonder if it`s better to have chlamydia or gonorrhea. Of course, both infections are easily treatable with antibiotics. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in law school loans and a degree from a non-elitist law school can set you back for decades. The most important thing for law students in T3 and T4 is to reduce student debt as much as possible. Go to law school, which charges less tuition. Teaching at the state law school is better than teaching outside the state. If you`re in most Level 1 law schools, you`d better be in the top 10% to have a chance of getting a great corporate job. Same thing here. Graduated from a “level 1” (i.e. 4) law school in my early 30s in 2009 after a 10-year career as a CS guy. I also worked at PTO and eventually went back to programming to pay the bills. The vast majority of my friends ended up hanging shingles or getting odd jobs.

It is possible to follow a pre-baccalaureate premed curriculum. Smart people can do this with a research job at the institution that runs the post-baccalaureate, so tuition fees are free or reduced. Many people go to medical school this way. In fact, taking Orgo to Harvard or Yale can be intimidating for some students. A little more manageable at Post-Bac sometimes. It takes a few years or even three that way before you go to medical school. However, you can save money while working and most importantly save money during the gap year while you have your medical school applications. Post-baccalaureates who are highly ranked have very good acceptance rates for medical school. Fourth-rate law schools are named after the annual ranking of U.S. News and World Report law schools. The magazine does not classify schools into specific “levels”; Instead, the top 150 schools are ranked numerically and the bottom 40 to 50 schools are listed alphabetically.

Even a “loser” at the end of the class who graduates from these two schools can get a job at a reputable company or company. Simply so that employers can show potential clients that they have law graduates from Yale or Harvard working for them. This justifies high billing rates. Do you hear of 50-year-old doctors who find themselves unemployed and cannot find permanent full-time employment? This expulsion of older and older lawyers is a very serious problem in the legal profession. This is a real reason to avoid law school like the plague. According to my observations and research, the greatest regret of people who have studied at lower law schools is student debt. On the bright side, some of these law schools offer online or distance learning options. I mean, who knows, maybe you can finish one of these schools, pass the bar and still become a successful lawyer.

You can view them here. Therefore, the verdict for law schools T2, T3, and T4 is this: Indiana Tech University blew up much of its foundation on a toilet law school, which it should never have opened. Again, I got impatient, because for me, it would be either Level 1, a handful of Level 2 schools, or bankruptcy. There would be no reason to go any further because you would only be setting up with a lot of debt and it would be an uphill battle to take advantage of the degree.
