Posted by NYU 3L in "Unhappy About the Law School Rankings of U.S. News? Let 'Em Know!" Friday, April 11, 2008 11:38 AM

I got my offer rescinded today from a V10 firm. The letter said that, while they were impressed with me, they had given me the offer when NYU was #4 in the rankings. Due to changed circumstances, they said, namely moving to #5, they could no longer justify hiring me. Sigh.

9:56 is correct. US News reports what each school reports to the ABA. And the ABA only gets reports on full-time students. This is why PT programs are much easier to be admitted to. You can bet every penny you own that if on Day 1, the ABA asked for all stats, then on Day 2, GULC would drop its PT program like yesterday's garbage.

Hmm...I wonder the same thing. I'm keeping my head down and my nose to the grindstone this summer.

I am telling you. He needs to grow back that killer 'stache. As much as I think the guy is repulsive and awful, I'd still take him with that 'stache.

Dear David Lat/ATL/Marc Edelman,

Please, for the love of all that is holy in the world, ditch that clipart. It's either me or the clipart. One of us HAS to go.

Sincerely,
NYU 3L

Apparently Mr. Snipes thought he had already paid his debt to society by making those Blade movies.

Embarrassing.

There's so much question begging going on in this "note" it's not even funny. She equates homelessness with injustice...

Here's a story for you. There once was a homeless man named David. He knew that there was a homeless shelter in Boston whose goal, above all else, was to end homelessness. This homeless shelter was funded in large part by high income earners, including lawyers, who feel a duty to give back.

David was entrepreneurial, though, and decided that he would camp out next to Harvard Law School because he knew that he could make a decent amount of money from donations by self-loathing trust fund kids, such as, no doubt, the author in question. One day someone used David as proof of the injustice in the world.

That person is an idiot.

Well it probably gets better reviews than his other movie, The Love Guru.

This wasn't that good but I think Sophist's been consistently better than F&D and everyone else, except for the first two Marin posts which I thought were pretty funny.

I wish Lat had entered as one of the contestants just so he could put the blame on us if he lost out. Instead, it's all on him. Pretty sad; but I have faith that Lat will be able to mold Sophist into at least Kash quality. I think Sophist at least has the better sense of humor; the rest can be picked up in the transition phase.

Elie, you're way off base here. I find this story disgusting and I'm appalled at your inability to talk about the story in a way that doesn't come off as unbelievably flippant. I will consider this the point at which ATL jumped the shark. I was pulling for you throughout the contest, was happy you won and have enjoyed your writing so far but you've lost a reader.
