But if you're looking to get into a really good law school, you're most likely going to have to get in the high 150s, 160s, or 170s. If you got a 180, you'll probably get in anywhere and you're probably a genius too.

In my view, getting into law school and doing well on the LSAT is more about dedication and belief in yourself than being an Einstein. I also went to a community college to start, and now I'm in law school. Believe in yourself, my friend. You'll make it if you do.

everyone needs a lawyer at some point of their life. Even lawyers need lawyers

@TwanBeezy An attack on our freedom is what bush had said on T.V. Sounds like a guilty statement to me. The only time a statement is used like this is when police or Govt. takes one's freedom. Osama is not a police programmed person so such a statement can only be made by a corrupt system who would think or plan to take one's freedom. Consider occupy Wall Street, Consider the Terrorist Act in America, Consider stop and frisk. The subject is not race. The subject should be the CONSTITUTION.

LSAT scores are way overrated. I know people who scored 150 and are making gobs of money (who also went to crappy law schools). It has to do with tenacity, and luck. Lots and lots of good luck.

Here is how Law School should be. After students graduate they will work directly for the Government. No more balogny. Setting them free causes corruption.  Their also charging too much causing damage to the economy. Graduates will be located to Government Law Offices. They will be paid by the Government.

A. Basics of Law.

B. Courts and The System.

C. State and Federal Law.

D. International Law and Constitution.

@femfightwatcher This depends on your definition of a "decent job." Some people define a "decent job" as working 115 hours a week for a huge firm and pulling in a mega-salary they never get to enjoy. I call that a wasted life.

On the other hand, many of the attorneys I know attended third and fourth tier law schools. They now have jobs they love, they work reasonable hours, and they take home very respectable incomes. As far as I'm concerned, they have very "decent jobs."
