Haha, my school sucks. Why did Shearman hire me from there?

2d!

because shearman sucks

Oh yeah. Shearman does suck.

AU's administration has to be the worst of any university's.

...Wait the technology department of a law school is working to resolve problems?

This isn't even a story.

Yes, it's been awhile since I've been able to bag on some TTT.

I veto this post on stupidity and irrelevance grounds. Remove it immediately.

Working to resolve problems approximately 2 years old is standard operating procedure for most universities.

At American, the quality of the wireless is rivaled only by the quality of the graduates.

Worst post ever.

yeah, shearman does suck. Dave Curtiss is a lamebo.

People wouldn't show up to class at my law school if wireless wasn't working.

This is possibly the most pointless post in this blog's illustrious history.

Wireless connection in classrooms is the only way I can withstand the bullshit rant some of my professors like to deliver. It is enough that I have to learn the law on my own (god knows professors don't teach it). At least let me catch up on my celebrity gossip while I am forced to sit through your 1.25 hour BS speech. We all know that law school is simply a 3 year, $120K barrier to entry into the profession. So, at least let me enjoy myself in class.

My T14 blocks wireless access to all classrooms. So people just play solitaire.

My wireless provider blocks access to all T14 schools and TTT firms and firms that aren't as good as mine, and schools that aren't as good as mine. What? What? What? No one has any idea what I'm talking about. Where are you? WHERE ARE YOU? Where ARE you?

No one knows!

I don't know, Man. It's just that this is pretty much the crappiest post on this blog. Like, that I have "EVER" seen, yo. I mean it's crappy. Not like that KUmari Fulbright post earlier. That was crack journalism right there.

Blah.

448(2), Tom Goldstein will have you killed by 2Ls from Harvard and Yale, who are instructed in killing by prestigious and well-known killers at the secret clinic that he co-teaches with Chuck Norris.

I (and I mean ME, bros!) just got a laptop computer for taking notes in class, and I think that it's great to use laptop computers for learning. They are also good for checking out the "Tripel-X" sights and for some email jokes (yo uknow, like onese you forward around@!). I have a serious question, and it's important because I'm going to be a summer associate very soon: do lawyers mostly use computers or libraries? We have both at my law school. :-)

WOWZA - does American University even have a law schiool. How fast can we say TTT?!!

I'd kill for wireless coverage that good

I'm currently sitting in Room 101, and I can't connect. Can anybody help me with this? I really need your tippps!

Seriously, Lat. If you keep posting about this kind of crap, I will no longer check out your blog.

Lat, do a post on the Skadden hottest female associate contest: http://skaddeninsider.blogspot.com/2008/01/hottest-female-associate.html

Maybe AU should teach their students network engineering and maintenance skills. At least that way they'd be employable by top tier firms in need of IT guys.

Shearman gives jobs out like AU gives out admittance letters to people with 155s. Don't feel special you douchebag. Any good firm wouldn't hire at AU.

TWO YEARS in room 101? someone should be fired (or promoted, more likely).

Oooh, I've got one: Sherman gives out jobs at AU like HLS gives out admittance letters to douchebags.

I would give my left nut to get into AU....

Georgetown Night 2L

HLS @ 543 got pwn3d.

HLS - have you even seen a list of the firms that hire at AU? Is Skadden worthless? Latham? Ropes? W&C? Many students get hired out of AU to these firms every year. The research skills you've picked up and your ability to put together a solid argument have really benefited from that HLS education--if you even go there. Consult the list and do some research you douche.

Three points for you, HLS:

1) No one who has completed 1L gives a shit about where others went to law school, especially if they have already graduated.

2) No one over the age of 18 gives a shit about the score another got on a standardized test, or would use such scores to judge another person.

3) No one with half a brain would proudly extol their law firm's hiring policies in public....ever. Could you be more of a suck-up, try-hard BigLaw whore?

But good luck with your sad little life....

My penis was accepted at AU

Was it's name Pepe Gonzalez, or Tayshaun Jenkins?

i went to AU undergrad -- then to a T3 law school -- and now work in Biglaw. Bite me.

your entire life has been a TTT, sucks to be you. you should have read more as a youngster.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Lat, you were starting to scare me with those law firm layoff rumors. But, now that you're posting this crap, I can see that all is well in the legal profession. I have the same feeling I had when Britney Spears news started to replace 9/11 coverage. I mean, who cares about the IT situation at AU or any other law school for that matter?

My TT said they were going to expand the wifi back in 2004. Still haven't done it, from what I've heard. Why didn't that get posted?

Good firms hire at about the top 5% at AU, if they recruit there at all. Some good DC firms may recruit there as a nod to a local school, but make no mistake, AU WCL is TTT.

Oh yeah, and Dean Grossman is a snaggletoothed choad.

7:29, you make fun of a school for being TTT yet know the name of the dean. Sounds like some self loathing at WCL.

I'm really disappointed nobody's called Dean Jaffe a douchebag yet. Come on, people!

I don't know about Jaffe - but Karim sure is.

I'm a 3L at WCL and, ironically, didn't even get this email from the SBA!!!

I didn't get that email either! I would call it "fitting" rather than ironic.

I love WCL. I get to hang out in a less competitive environment, schmooze with sexy human rights ladies all day, avoid the pretentious assholes at top ranked schools, and STILL get a biglaw job upon graduation.

WCL IS THE SHIT!!!

Who cares about spotty internet?!? WCL IS THE SHIT!!!

"sexy" human rights ladies?

Im a 3L at WCL who transferred from HLS because the sexy human rights ladies are dreamy and I can get a BigLaw job from anywhere

4. We also discovered that, for the past four years, the "access points" installed on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 7th floors were actually 1991 Sony Discmans with a bent coat hanger jammed in the headphone jack.

take this down - it's stupid.

and I love when people call it TTT - it's a tier one school so I'm not really sure what people are trying to do there.

Well played Nick Burns.

5:28: "WOWZA - does American University even have a law schiool. How fast can we say TTT?!!"

It's top tier and you spelled "school" wrong, idiot.

Oh, and Jaffe is a total douchebag.

7:45 - Not only do I know the dean's name, but as my post reveals, I also know that he is a snaggletoothed choad.

However, I am not a self loathing WCL student as your post assumes (although who could blame me if I was?). To the contrary, I am the happiest transfer you anonymously know!

Lat, my friends and I at WCL didn't receive this email. I seriously doubt its truthfulness. A little more verification before you put it up here?

8:19, it went out to everyone who was a member of the SBA group on TWEN.

@8:19 You and your friends must be lazy slackasses. Go on TWEN, and go to SBA's section, and click "Virtual Senate Floor", you'll see quite a lot of discussion on it, including a very prominent 3L Senator calling Jaffe and Grossman out.

WCL is, as had repeatedly been said here and elsewhere, a third-rate institution for which students pay a premium price. (i.e. they want to be in DC but they are too stupid to get into GW or Georgetown.)

It lets in a huge amount of AA admits because that is the only way it can show any hiring by top rate firms. Winston and Strawn, et al. go dumpster diving at WCL to get their minority numbers up.

But woot - the diversity !!! Its "one of the best law schools for Hispanics".
