[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DD should only go to law school if she gets into a top 15 school.  The ones that can’t get lawyer jobs after graduation went to lower tier schools.

+1 to above PP on becoming a law professor - very hard.

Even if not a law professor, I think some areas of legal practice is more ‘academic’ - tax for sure, and maybe insurance, financial products? Basically, difficult and complicated subject matters that require expert knowledge. ‘Academic’ types do well in these fields, and get paid very well.

Hard is an understatement. To be a law professor you have to go to Yale law school and then have enough family money to only work 1 or 2 years in the private bar. Too much legal experience is considered a huge negative for tenure and likely leaves you to teaching small subject matter courses as an adjunct.

But if she has a shot then it's a cush lifestyle. Your publishing requirements have little or no peer review and the desperate students on law review will correct your grammar and shoddy citations. Money is good with extra coming from media asking your opinion on local/national matters or speaking at conferences.[/quote]
