In Reply To: Okay, I'm going to have to start considering some of the 4th tier law schools just to be on the safe side. Are they really the bottom of the barrel? I mean obviously no one's gonna get a federal clerkship from one of these places but alot of them have placed a premium on practicality over theory. I am however worried about spending 20,000, getting mediocre grades and not finding a job. But is that a reality or just an unfounded, imagined fear? I am not after BIGLAW but I would like to become a lawyer making about 50K a year after graduating. Is this an okay option considering my modest aims? Thoughts from those in the know are greatly appreciated...
Message: Gurdonark is right on the mark. Very good school. Very underrated.
