[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can go to a top law school, be top of your class, and get prestigious clerkships, you will have a stimulating, exciting, rewarding career in private practice, government, and/or academia.   If not, I think it would be unwise to go to law school.  There is a lot of terribly boring legal work to be done, and a glut of lawyers for even the undesirable jobs.  If I had to do insurance defense work for a living, for example, I would want to slit my wrists.[/quote]

This. I graduated middle of my class at georgetown ten years ago and it has been a rocky road (have been employed for most of it but unemployed now). My friends who went to Harvard yale etc have managed to get great jobs at doj, state, etc. that is much harder to do the less prestigious your school and record are.[/quote]

gtown is t14. and you graduated in 2003. surely you would've been pretty set given the timing. 3-4 years in Big law and move over to inhouse or gov? Would've meant u would've made your move before the crisis.  [/quote]
