I’m intrigued by these stories this week about North Carolina Central School of Law being the best buy for law school. The law school combines low in-state tuition, focus on clinical skills (they have 14 clinical programs), high first-time bar passage rates, and low debt loads for graduates. The school admits to being a “no frills” [...] Today, I’m reading this interesting debate over at the New York Times website, asking the question whether MBA students are “students” or “consumers.” I wouldn’t say the arguments made are earth shattering or particularly insightful. But the question posed is an interesting, albeit purely theoretical, one to me. So pardon the completely impractical discussion, but [...] This post at Brazen Careerist purported to offer readers “criteria” for evaluating whether to go to law school.

In response to a situation where an associate was not checking e-mail and, consequently, neglected to draft and send a draft letter to a client, a Quinn Emanuel partner sent a firmwide e-mail explaining that associates should [...] |
