Too many people worry about just law school. Do you want to be a lawyer? Law school is a means to an end. If you don't know if you want to be a lawyer, law school is a very expensive proposition, that's why so many people are unhappy after going to law school. They never wanted to be a lawyer to begin with they just wanted to go to law school. And also the curriculum of many programs foucuses on working in corporate law which can be VERY boring.

I like to argue. I like all the nuances of arguing. I like philosophy. I have a BA in poli sci. This is all I know. Going to law school seems like the logical move. The only thing that I take into account is debt. Scholarships are given out so that isn't a problem.

Nick McLaughlin Get a high LSAT score (160 +). THAT will guarantee you a spot in law school and give you a scholarship for the first semester. It Should cover books and tuition. Once in law school,. You will have to compete for you grades. IN ORDER to maintain the scholarship,. You have to be in the top 30-40 percent.

Law School often attracts the worst of people. Not people who actually love the field of law. , love studying and memorizing dry and meaningless material in the name of Justice for all but because they Love the Idea of having Money , Power and Glory. All one needs to do is look at the Corruption in the Field of Law in America.

People... you can go to law school without the high debt You can skip law school and apprentice under a judge in approx. 6 different states in America. New York and California are 2 of those states (Funny how when I state I am going. To law school I get all the statistics about my path and how I am not suppose to claim my future in law because I lack 30 credits in undergrad) everyone had a point to prove about my journey 😂 so I will say the same to all of you get a law degree BEFoRE you try to make an argument about my personal journey 😂

me myself You make no sense. What do you mean you can go to law school without the debt? “Apprentice” under a judge is not law school. You have no JD, can’t take the bar exam, and can’t practice law as a lawyer. Not to mention you haven’t even graduated from undergraduate. You also plan on going to law school in the future, which completely contradicted your original comment.

The apprenticeship takes about 4-8 years. In which you do not have a JD, even though you may be able to practice law, your apprenticeship won't translate into any other field of work.

NYU certainly did not help this lot learn how to speak succinctly, nor with a decent vocabulary. One keeps saying "like whatever" and one is Uhm, uhm , uhming so much he loses track of his own train of thought. Students, this kind of lack of self awareness and speaking like a student is distracting the listener from your message

To become a lawyer is the same as a doctor is a vocation. Vocation to serve people in the most vulnerable times in their lives. Either medical illness or any legal issue. Unfortunately, nowadays these juniors are taking the spots of people that really want to serve the public to convert their degrees in an investment to get a ticket to high corporations. The way they speak it is noticeable they give creo f..cks about human issues.

Question for all the lawyers out there. (Hopefully at least one of you would like to shed some interesting light on this subject). My question is, why isn't a state like NY tougher on crime? Why is the death penalty rarely ever used in NY when serious, despicable crimes seem to happen almost daily?
@pmcdugald
@pmcdugald 6 жыл бұрын
look at other state's "tough on crime" policies and show me that they are successful. Tough on crime has never been a functioning way to deter crime and it only ends up costing taxpayers more $$. I'm not saying I know the magic answer to deterring crime, but history has shown us that our current incarceration policies have done absolutely nothing to stop people from committing crime. The only real outcomes have been the perpetual disenfranchisement of minorities coupled with sharp increases in the value of street drugs. This has all indirectly formulated powerful gangs and cartel's allowing them to accumulate massive resources while capitalizing on the stupidity of the United States policies on crime. I know your question is likely more angled towards violent crime although it has been shown that increasing prison sentences has no effect on deterring crime. It only makes things worse.
@Essays4College
@Essays4College 6 жыл бұрын
@@pmcdugald Yes my comment was to address violent crime. However, you mentioned that "increasing prison sentences has no effect on deterring crime." How can you prove that? How can you prove something that did NOT occur? How can you measure how many people stopped short from committing a particular crime because they knew that the penalty was so severe that it's not worth it? Also, some might argue that ANY prison time doesn't deter crime. So what next...no jails at all?
@pmcdugald
@pmcdugald 6 жыл бұрын
@@Essays4College You're missing the point here. If you think "tougher on crime" is a solution then you should look at the current data we do have. Increasing rates of incarceration since the 1980's have done nothing to stifle crime incidents and we actually have only seen an increase. We need to reimagine what exactly we are looking to get out of incarceration and also re-examine the word penitence. Current prisons are breeding grounds for future criminals. If you put an 18 Y/O kid in prison for 2 years for felony drug possession he is much more likely to come out of prison resentful of the people who put them there, and full of good criminal contacts and knowledge. Not to mention he won't be allowed to vote, disenfranchising him politically, and he won't be able to get a good job because of laws in most states that make it a requirement to disclose felony status. Let me ask you, do you think all of that is productive for the greater whole of society? It's clear you have not put too much thought into this and the ole' lock em' up and throw away the key strategy is enough for you. No, we should not just close down all the jails and let everyone out. We should really think hard and long about the implications of putting so many people in prison for so long. Black people specifically have had to bore the brunt of this issue and it is undoubtedly causing this extreme resentment and divisiveness we are seeing in our country right now. Remember: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Putting someone in prison for an indefinite amount of time really does not solve any problem. I believe we should be trying to rehabilitate people and become more cognizant of WHY people are committing crime less so than arguing about how many years they should be locked up for or whether or not they should get the death penalty.

@pmcdugald
@pmcdugald 6 жыл бұрын
@@Essays4College I would say that they are on the right right track but far too extreme. There are obviously instances where prison is justified. I argue that we have become completely detached from anything resembling healthy levels of incarceration and that's clearly a problem that needs to be closely examined. Also, I believe that 100% of non-violent criminals can be rehabilitated and properly re-assimilated into society. What is inhumane is putting someone into life in prison based off an archaic Reagan era "3-strike policy". No non-violent offenders deserve life in prison and I don't think there is legitimate argument to be made against that claim.
