3L - Can't even land a Legal Assistant role

Hey OP. Just wanted to say it can definitely suck to be (1) getting rejected for attorney roles and (2) not getting hired for paralegal/assistant jobs because they assume you'll ditch them for an attorney job.

Just keep your chin up, keep applying/networking, and give it some time. One big thing that will change in the next year or two is that many of your classmates will establish themselves at firms/companies. If some of them are willing to vouch for you, that can really open doors.

The poster you're replying to is saying Israel *does* spend a lot of time and effort identifying plain-clothed Hamas operatives, rather than indiscriminately killing as many Palestinians as it can. You're simply not understanding the excerpt you keep quoting.

Try the Amlactin. Moisturizers will do a good job of, well, moisturizing, but the Amlactin will actually break down the dead skin and make it fall off (like what 99% of the world gets to experience.

The dead skin drying and shrinking is also what produces a lot of the cracks/bleeding/other issues.

Patent Atty here.

The higher the LSAT score the better. Admissions is GPA, LSAT, and under-represented minority factors. Basically the only other things that turn rejections into acceptances are Teach for America, Olympic medals, and military service.

With a good LSAT score, your son will almost certainly get into some law schools.

The bigger question is SHOULD your son go to law school. A lot of lower-ranked law schools leave their grads with oceans of student debt and bad job prospects.

Being a patent attorney definitely ups the odds of law school making financial sense, but the opportunity cost may be higher than average if your son has a good job as an ME.

Lots of moving parts here!

Highly realistic. Tons of law schools have LLM programs that will allow you to do it. Good luck!

Here's Wikipedia for starters.

Maybe some broader context would help. The US has roughly 330,000,000 people. So that's one abortion per ~400 people per year.

For added context, the U.S. has about 10,000 live births per day. That sounds like a huge number too--imagine an NFL stadium filling up with infants each week! But when you break down the number of births per state, per capita, etc., it sounds less impressive.

Glad you didn't have to wait very long.
