I agree with the statements regarding summer jobs. If you can't work, it doesn't matter if you get an MBA because you wont have a job. However, if you have connections in i-banking, a JD/MBA would be extremely valuable. My uncle is an investment banker in Dallas, and I have discussed this with him in the past. There is a special niche of i-banking for individuals who have a JD. Their help with the negotiation process is an important part of i-banking, and from what he said, they seem to be very involved in the actual financial transaction when they graduate vs. the financial modeling that is more "behind the scenes"(typical for new-grads)
