Law Schools To Avoid At All Costs!

If you would like there are many books asserting my thesis (as if it really must be reasoned, it is so obvious that it’s not necessary to state it) including my favorite “The Big Test: The Secret of the American Meritocracy”

American Meritocracy!?!?!?! Can someone reconcile this with Goerge W. Bush?

And to the dumba*s that made a comment about ADD at 28 - you can develop it at any age, whether or not you are still being educated. You can get 4.0's and 99% test scores your whole life and then suddenly find yourself having extreme difficulty. Do some research before you assume you know what you're critizing.

there is no such thing as "adult onset" adhd.  you've either had it your whole life (and not have it correctly diagnosed -- i was diagnosed at age 40, when i was growing up it was 'laziness' or 'not working up to potential') or you haven't

I support Gay Marriage for no reason other than that it would result in Gay Divorce. There would be nothing funnier than watching a couple of homos duke in out in court over a fondue set.

I find it ironic that by criticizing ANY ABA school, you are essentially criticizing the judgment of the ABA itself, and therefore ALL ABA schools.  Either all the ABA schools are good schools or the ABA is a bogus organization.

right now i am hell bent on staying in california for law school (which i am applying to in the fall), but i don't think i will get in anywhere other than thomas jefferson or whittier. i am an engineering student currently, with average grades. i believe it will be my lsat score that keeps me from a decent school. does that mean i am crap out of luck for a good future in law?

JD Jive is a good example of the desperate situation many new lawyers find themselves in.

I can only speak about two schools that I have first hand knowledge about. Regarding the statement to avoid these law schools at all costs: John Marshall School Chicago and also Thurgood Marshall School of Law are good law schools and produce some really great lawyers. I would hope that anyone who has an interest in either of these schools will take the time to research and get the facts and not listen to those who have been misinformed.
