Commencement 2011- Emory University School of Law

[perkiomenville]

If you can't place your law students in jobs then you need to get over it. You need to find another occupation. You need to shutter your law school pronto because educating lawyers for jobs that don't exist differs from a Ponzi scheme in name only, but not in practice. A tiny minority of law professors and students profit hugely while others get fleeced.

Thumbs up if third tier reality sent you here!

1:44:19 "....the great class of 2011"; more like the doomed-to-paying-off-insane-le­vels-of-debt-class of 2011, though the ones with lawyer paerents might survive BARELY.

[MrJohndoakes]

Emory is ranked 30th by "US News and World Report", but truth be told, if your school isn't in the top 15 and you aren't the offspring of an attourney or judge YOU ARE SCREWED.

The speaker at 36:00 should have given that speech to the 1st year students, not graduates!

@MrJohndoakes I think its T14.

[MrJohndoakes]

@MizzyTheQueen Even at the first tier people are finding it hard to find jobs because the market is flooded with new lawyers.

Yes, you were right about it being T14.
