[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you try to get a paralegal position in an employment law practice group. Your experience is relevant and you will get a taste of the more "legal" side of what you already do. [/quote]

OP here. Ideally, I would aim at getting a job at one of the national employment firms -- Jackson Lewis, Seyfarth Shaw, Littler Mendolsohn are some of the ones I am aware of. I think my work experience is relevant and should outweigh any issues with the rank of my school or how I do in law school. I just have to get an interview.  You have all given me something to think about, though. Even when I get hired at a big firm I may hate it and it doesn't look like I will get any money from a school to attend so I will owe a lot... #decisionsdecisions[/quote]

So you would go to a law school for a hypothetical interview? Because everything else *should* then somehow fall into place. You work in HR, how can you be so clueless?[/quote]

No, I would go to law school so I can eventually be a lawyer at one of these firms, not just for an interivew. Duh! Unless you know of a way I can be an attorney without 3 years of schooling? If so, tell me.

Also to the PP who said the firms won't hire me bc of school, you must have missed the part where I talked about my REAL WORLD experience. A firm is going to just throw my resume in the garbage because I didn't go to the right school, even though I have actual experience in the area they practice in?  I think some of you are just overly negative and maybe have failed yourselfs professionally, I don't know. I don't mean to be rude...[/quote]
