[quote=Anonymous]I'm a law student. I love law school, and would probably enjoy higher education in any field because I just enjoy the learning process. If you or anyone you know are considering law school DON'T DO IT. This coming from someone who really enjoys the law school experience.

You will learn analytical skills that you don't get anywhere else. I am a better informed consumer of law, policy, and media because I study law. But it's not a skill set that will pay off your loans, not anymore. For people who chose law school for public interest work, learning just how thoroughly the civil rights laws have been gutted will be a rude awakening. Law was the vehicle to advance the civil rights agenda at one point in history. Those glory days are long behind us.

If you still plan to go into law, at least choose a public institution where you will gain practice ready skills. UDC is awarded year after year for offering a skills based curriculum. In my third year at one of DC's private schools I have never even written a motion... of any type. Yet my tuition is nearly equal that of a top ten school.[/quote]
