Was this directed toward me? Because all I said was that lots of Harvard grads do not have it hard, not all Harvard grads. I saw on another thread that you have yet to start Cooley. Please tone down your nastiness and listen to us. Get out while you can (unless you have a close relative in the practice).

Trust me, we are looked down upon.
Hi,I graduated from the "best law school in downtown Lansing" back in 1994 and hated it. Thankfully, the tuition was reasonable. Cooley is just one of many Tier 3/4 schools. It's specialness comes from an attitude that confirms that its administration, and more than a few of its students, suffer from untempered feelings of inferiority. The self-ranking silliness is one example. The naming rights to the ball park is another.That being said, I have no regrets. My legal training has been an invaluable asset in my business. And, after surviving 3 years of brutal competitiveness, I now usually hold my own with the people I have to deal with to sustain my small business.If you've got a career and want to enhance your skill set with a law degree and license, then the decision to go to Cooley involves little more than a standard costs/benefits analysis. If you want prestige, money and connections that will open doors, then you really don't want to go to a school like Cooley. Bryan
Hi,My small business is not a law firm.Bryan
Hi,Yes, of course.My wife and I were seeking a safe haven for our investments. As it turns out, our timing was excellent and we got out while the getting was good.Our LLC manages a medical professional building with a regional hospital's emergency (urgent care) department being our major lessee. Broadly speaking, I would say it is reflective of my undergraduate degree in psychology, and my masters degree in business. However, as I stated in my earlier post, it is my legal training at Cooley that I believe is most responsible for my success.Bryan
Hi,I do believe that an attorney who represents himself has a fool for a client. So, when I need to resort to legal remedy on an LLC matter, I retain counsel.But I keep my hand in the game and take a few cases a year as time permits You'd have to ask the judges I've appeared before, the opposing counsels I've engaged, and the clients I've represented to satisfy yourself as to whether I'm capable of "doing law."Bryan
