(SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS EVERYONE..... ITS THE LAPTOP)
ACTUALLY THE CURVE IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE TOUGHEST IN THE COUNTRY. HOWEVER, THE BAR PASSAGE RATE HAS BEEN EITHER 1ST OR 2ND IN THE STATE FOR A FEW YEARS.
ALSO, I AM NOT FROM HERE BUT MY MOM HAS WORKED IN THE JACKSONVILLE LEGAL COMMUNITY FOR YEARS. THE REPUTATION HAS INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERNS ABOUT GETTING A JOB AT ANY FIRM IN THE STATE OR IN PUBLIC SERVICE. OUT OF STATE WILL DEPEND ON YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE. JUST FINISH STRONG AND BUILD YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE CLINICS.
BACK TO THE CURVE. JUST A WARNING. THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL IN RECRUITING QUITE A BIT OF HIGH CALIBER STUDENTS FROM EVERYWHERE. WE JUST FINISHED FIALS....THOUGHT I ROCKED EM... NORMALLY DO ROCK TESTS...... BOY DID I HAVE TERRIFIC COMPETITON. MANY PROFESSORS SAID IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN FIRST SEMESTER EXAMS THAT THE CURVE ACTUALLY HURT AND DIDNT HELP EVERYONE.
THE LAW CLINICS HERE ARE ALSO INCREDIBLE. ON THAT NOTE, ALMOST ALL THE PROFESSORS I HAD WERE ALSO BEYOND WHAT I EXPECTED. FORGET THEIR IVY LEAGUE CREDENTIALS........THEIR EXPERIENCE ALONE IS INVALUABLE AND MANY OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY QUITE HILARIOUS MOST OF THE TIME.
DONT LET IT FOOL YOU.... THE TESTS ARE NOT EASY AT ALL, ITS AL ABOUT THE POINTS YOU BUILD VS. EVERYONE ELSE. YOU WILL MOST LIKELY NOT FINISH OR WILL AT LEAST BE A SPACE CADET FOR A WEEK AFTER.
THE STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE SBA, AND THIS IS "HEARSAY" FOR ME FOR NOW, ARE QUITE INFLUENTIAL AROUND THE SCHOOL AND HAVE QUITE A BIT OF ABILITY TO HELP BUILD THE SCHOOL REPUTATION.
LAST, I HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO DEAL WITH THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE, THE ACADEMIC DEAN- DEAN TAGGART, THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE AND ADMISSIONS. (ON A ONE-ON-ONE BASIS THAT IS). THEY ALL HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY NICE AND HELPFUL.
LOOK, I AM NOT AN AD HERE. JUST TRYING TO BE HONEST AND HELP. IF YOU WANT TO ASK QUESTIONS OR NEED ADVICE.... LEAVE A POST OR EMAIL ME. ILL DO WHAT I CAN! DESPITE THE COMPETITIVE CURVE MY CLASSMATES ARE ALL VERY CLOSE, AND WE LEND A HAND TO EACH OTHER AND ANYONE ELSE WHO NEEDS IT!
