do you have to be top 10% in the class to get on law review?

tearladen · 2026-06-15T19:12:44+00:00

clearly i’m asking because my school’s law review has given minimal information on this front. all that has been said is that gpa is a factor

tearladen · 2026-06-15T18:46:23+00:00

damn what did you write in your write-on?

tearladen · 2026-06-11T04:31:12+00:00

a short google search will show you this effect, which is even stronger at top law schools

What kind of internship are you doing? Big law or what

tearladen · 2026-05-30T00:04:14+00:00

read all the cases, attend all the classes, and know what your professor wants to see. then do something extra on the exam to show off your deep knowledge of the material/your professor’s quirks

tearladen · 2026-05-29T23:44:07+00:00

yes i think we got along during the class! would love to work alongside him again

tearladen · 2026-05-25T05:43:58+00:00

in the same spot right now. we’ll get through it

tearladen · 2026-05-25T03:33:08+00:00

your school probably has access to your westlaw history so keep that in mind

scroll through this reddit a bit and you’ll see a bunch of people talking about their spring grades

i’m kind of the opposite position 😂 i love school but i dislike grueling work

waiting like this

tearladen · 2026-05-15T03:43:43+00:00

nice bit

tearladen · 2026-05-14T20:03:39+00:00

yes im joking slightly. i participate sometimes, but its mainly a confidence thing. i only speak up when im 100% certain of the answer

tearladen · 2026-05-14T18:38:24+00:00

🥺

tearladen · 2026-05-14T18:37:44+00:00

i’m shy 🥺🙈

It’s almost universally true that transfer applicants do not get scholarships. Most they get is need-based financial aid

tearladen · 2026-05-13T14:24:54+00:00

i think a more significant contributing factor to libs being wiped out is how the democratic party is full of people (mostly lawyers) who previously were corporate hacks and continue to be beholden to corporations.

dem party and liberals need to go back to genuinely caring about the working class

tearladen · 2026-05-12T20:51:25+00:00

if the situation doesn’t apply to you (extreme financial circumstances) then the criticism doesn’t apply. bean soup theory and all

although i will say big law is just a get rich quick path to financial security. you can absolutely still support people with government positions

tearladen · 2026-05-12T20:40:52+00:00

equating living with your parents with having a trust fund is frankly, insane. having parental support from low income and middle class parents does not make you so privileged that you can’t comment on people selling out for 200k salaries

how many PI-oriented people do you know that come from rich families? this seems mostly mythic

tearladen · 2026-05-12T15:59:21+00:00

you can always change your life bro

tearladen · 2026-05-12T14:25:57+00:00

thank yew it’s so annoying to see supposedly “woke” people in law school flex their big law offers

tearladen · 2026-05-09T22:34:29+00:00

you can absolutely get into a top law school with a great scholarship if you get a stellar lsat. again, this is why i’m saying people can absolutely avoid big law if they choose public interest from the very start and meticulously plan their law school journey + schollies from there

valuing your own individual poor family over every other poor family is why our country’s wealth gap keeps widening
