General Off-Topic Board / Re: Personality Test« on: March 17, 2006, 08:10:20 PM »I'm an INTJ, same as the OP. INTJs are a VERY small portion of the overall population. Masterminds tend to lead from the background, appear "cold" to others, have very few close friends, and are NOT easily swayed into believing the their approach (to the task at hand) is incorrect. Yup, that's me exactly! 89 Introvert, 25 intuitive, 100 thinking, 56 judging. 34
Where should I go next fall? / Re: William Mitchell or St. Thomas (Minnesota)« on: March 15, 2006, 09:59:34 PM »I little late .. but I was pretty impressed with the St.Thomas open house. It was kind of funny going from St.T one day to UW-Madison the next and seeing the drastic differences between a rich private school and a state-funded public. Most wore business casual, yes. By formal, we're talking catered, three forks, waiters, the works. Very fancy meal, multiple courses, seating arrangements .. We were discussing who had an ethics class so we could watch which fork they used  Now compare this with the single file line to the paper plates, deli sub, bottle of water, and student lounge chairs at the UW open house! Funny to compare two completely different schools. There wasn't too much info on housing, but at the end there was an "expo"-type event with a rental-service agency. I believe they are mailing housing stuff within another week, too. 35

The facilities were amazing - awesome courtroom, very nice modern and clean classrooms with outlets for your laptop, a big lounge downstairs (with a starbucks vending machine!). Lunch was most formal - I sat with the admissions people, a 2L, the mentor program lead, and another prospective student. The mentor program has me really impressed, it's required all three years and it basically pairs you with a practicing attorney in an area of your interest for 2nd and 3rd years, and one who's practicing the 1st year curriculum your first year. Great for experience and networking. They gave lots of info on awards and the fact they already have a better bar% pass than WM and Hamline. Also the employment stats were at 94% I believe. Anyways, if anyone has questions, shoot! 36

Thank you Mr. Obvious!! None of us posting here knew that to get the best jobs, one should go to the best school. Except, not eveyone defines "best" the same way you do, and that is where you fail. 38

The OP wants to LIVE IN MILWAUKEE and WORK IN MILWAUKEE. The indictment against Marquette is foolish if you don't know the legal climate here. Having so many Marquette grads here means a HUGE alumni network that the OP can tap into for jobs and other opportunities. Very nice post. The "elite" attitudes on this board make me laugh  Of course the top lawyers come from the top schools ... duh!! But Milwaukee lawyers come from the Milwaukee school and Marquette is a great option for this particular person. Going to a school under the top 14 or 30 or 50 or even 80 does not mean you won't learn lawyering skills or be successful, either.

Where should I go next fall? / Re: UIUC vs. W&L vs. BC« on: February 26, 2006, 06:48:05 PM »
Well you got it nailed down pretty good:
Ill -> Chicago W&L -> DC BC -> Boston Where you want to practice should determine where you go. Not that you can't go to DC from Ill, or to Chicago from BC, etc., it will just be much more difficult on your end. 40

Something to consider: according to their own website, Marquette's placement into public interest was just under 5% for 2004 grads, on Wisconsin's site they reported just under 2% for 2003 grads. 4 total from Wisc .. 10 from Marq.
