this sounds junior-high-ish, and dumb

Noah Wiley is their dean? Bring back ER!

This is why firms are hesitant to venture far from the T14. This kind of behavior is typical of the riff-raff found at lesser schools and is why the legal hierarchy is the way it is.

surprise surprise - inbred boston trash. nothing to make them enjoy life because theyre all so damn ugly so they have to drink sam adams (as if it were actually made in mass...it's not - only enough for a few tiny bars) and identify with the STUPID ass red sox

"Last year, there was a fight between two law students and one sustained a serious, and possibly permanent, injury"

Ha ha ha!

How does a lawyer identify with a baseball team?

6:

Yea, non T14 students exhibit "riff-raff" behavior, while students at T14's are spoiled b!tches who feel entitled to everything.

details on injury please

Time for a Captain Stabbin' scene! That wasn't banned by the above email...

Amazing thread title. Why hasn't anyone else commented on that yet?

Er, embarassing behavior by T14 students is just as common, if not moreso. (As the author himself noted, he doesn't even remember the boat rides he's been on...) At my school, we had to deal with the aftermath of venues being annoyed at us because students puked on the carpet.

The inability of law students to moderate their alcohol intake was enlightening (and sad).

To get us on topic for interview season... Law Students: if any interviewer tells you his firm is "collegial" and has a "work hard, party hard" mentality, ask for a cup of hot tea, then toss the tea in the interviewer's face.

This would never happen at Western New England School of Law.

BU law harbor cruise to follow on Saturday night.

A much more pleasant warning:
Annual Harbor Cruise Tickets on Sale NOW in SGA office!!

PLEASE NOTE: The boat staff reserves the right to not allow anyone on board who they think is intoxicated upon arrival. If you are not allowed on board, you will not receive a refund. Past incidents have made the boat staff wary, so they will be checking vigilantly. Please pregame accordingly

Skadden does most of its OCI on the harbor cruises. My Skadden interview consisted of a push up contest and a keg stand.

Nor at Suffolk, 15.

7 - I am no great fan of Boston either, but don't dis Sam Adams for contract brewing. Many, if not most, microbreweries that achieve significant popularity and national distribution, do their brewing at contract facilities. For instance, Brooklyn Brewery (one of my personal faves) sends most of its capacity to FX Matt in Utica, home of the incomprable Utica Club (with natural bubbles) and Schultz & Dooley, the talking beer steins. To make this comment remotely law-related, Garrett Oliver, Brooklyn's brewmaster, used to work in the Managing Clerk's office at Rogers & Wells.

Haha, so proud to be a BC law student right now

Stupid Northeastern Law, which costs more than BC or BU, doesn't do harbor cruises. Which is fine, because it gives us students more time to apply to that greeter job at Target.

As a student, I have never seen serious alcohol abuse. People occasionally seem a little drunker than usual, but I think these incidents are overblown.

I clerked at a boutique medical defense firm that hosted an annual 4th of July boat cruse.

Every year one of the name partners got plastered and played "On Top of Old Smokie" on his accordion.

Before we docked, and feeling no pain, I got on the yacht PA and invited everyone to an apre party at my apartment, "especially you ladies".

Another name partner in his early 60's grabbed me on the gang way and said "you are coming with me", whereupon we loaded all of the left over booze into his car and on to my place with as many women as he could fit into his Mercedes 500.

At my place it was 8 hot female support staff (including an incredibly hot receptionist) the partner and me.

Not to go into details, but 3 days later, the partner bought the receptionist a brand new Audi convertible.

There sere no complaints about associate misbehavior on the cruse.

I don't think I've ever seen a BC law student drunk this is an elaborate sham

12 - nice cap'n stabbin' reference. I love his zany anal adventures.

Can we do an open thread on where people were 7 years ago? I've read a few of them on other blogs and websites, and I like hearing these stories.

lawyers like drinkin'. everyone knows it. get over it. we work hard, we booze hard... sometimes simultaneously.

Seven years ago I was a senior in high school. A year from now i'll be starting at Cravath. I don't care where you TTT motha suckas were 7 years ago. End of story. Close the blog. Turn off the internets. My awesomeness has consumed you all.

/s a rightfully entitled Harvard student

"One year, a law student was detained and arrested by the State Police while trying to board the boat while intoxicated. A few years ago, the boat was forced to return to port shortly after leaving dock because of a seriously intoxicated student on the cruise. Last year, there was a fight between two law students and one sustained a serious, and possibly permanent, injury."

Actually, I believe this was the same person over his three years.

FYI--
This BC boat cruise business is a grad student thing at BC. It's open to law students and law student do attend (and drink), but it's kind of all about those drunk-ass b-school kids.

That email is loaded with inaccuracies. The boat turned around last year, not a couple years ago. And the injury? I don't think that happened.

Okay, I hate to join the bandwagon, but Elie's writing really is terrible. That's what happens when you let the masses choose. He's the Taylor Hicks of ATL.

6, I'm at a T14 right now, and this booze cruise sounds like good, clean fun. I hope all the BC students' alcohol-fueled shenanigans will be fun but not dangerous.

the boat cruise is definitely not about the b-school kids...and riff-raff has more fun!

12&26 - And don't forget the tossing overboard - that would surely make the email next year!

19, why does Boston College University have separate harbor cruises for its two divisions? Wouldn't it be better if the law students could mingle with the LLMs on one big BCU cruise?

20 - Great Schultz and Dooley reference. Genny tastes better when I'm drinking it out of Schultz's lobotamized head.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

BC= Backup College

Where is this Boston College University? Redundant Redundant Town, Massachusetts?

BC girls are like the harbor - they love getting teabagged.

AMIRITE?!?!?!

this cruze needs sum raep

Which is the crappy one: Boston Collegue or Boston University? Oh wait . . . that's a redundant question

46 i think you meant trick question

#44, they are also fond of John Hancock

14 is right. Anyone who uses the phrase "work hard, play hard" to describe his or her (but probably his) firm = mouth breathing meatball. Seriously, can you mail it in any more than that?

This cruise sounds pretty lame.

- Moe Williams

Unfortunately Boston is the anti-South Florida. Hence Captain Stabbin would find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to find a suitable 'partner' to join him for a wonderful anal adventure on the high seas.

#51 and even if he did, he would freeze his thing off

29 wins comment of the day

We never had any of these problems at my T-18 school. BC sucks.

Re #25: I am a BC Law student and was drunk last night. In the library. It happens.

#29 - i work at Cravath - please provide me your name so that I can beat you into a pulp next time i see you in the halls

#56,

You are a tool. Why on earth would I do such a thing? I'm just working for you idiots for a couple years to get some of that "prestige" stuff on my resume so I can get on to bigger and better things.

So do me a favor and go back to the doc review that you'll be doing for the rest of your life. Sucka juice.

/s 29

PS You couldn't beat me to a pulp. Guaranteed.

Where do GULCers go cruising?

43, all joking aside, BC's graduate campus is known as "the university." BCU encompasses them both.

BC Law was awesome. Three years wasted then to v20 firm.

Neener neener neener, 56 is a wiener.

Man it feels good to be drunk at 3 o'clock on a thursday. And have a job at Cravath waiting for me in this economy.

ummmmmmm Cravath gives out offers to Full Retards now?

24's story is about as believable as the government's 9/11 story

No 66. If so, you would be eligible for an offer!

Oh snap! 66 just got pwned like a GULC kid getting lost at UVA.

snap - that would never happen at UBAL

Stop snapping!

So proud to be a BC Law student. I plan on getting so drunk I forget my name.

no the injury happened last year at the law prom at bc...not boat cruise

GULCers troll GW parties for GW poon because its easier to get then AU poon.

hey # 29, # 56 here - you are so full of yourself right now - wait until you get here kid - you better be tough because even in this economy Cravath will kick your ass (ever notice the black cars outside our building 24/7?).

Not sure if anyone else noticed, maybe earlier in the comments or something, but is the title of this post from the South Park episode where the woodshop teachers keeps saying, "stop screwing around. You guys screw around too much."

These Cravath trolls are annoying. And not in a GULC troll annoying but sad and true and thus hilarious motif. Just plain annoying.

Hey #66. That was his mistake. He went full retard. You never go full retard.

32 - The injury actually occurred at the Public Interest Law Foundation auction at the BC club, where two students get into a fight and bloodied the place up. Not even kidding.

Apparently there were injuries at the PILF auction, the law prom (blech), and the boat cruise last year, because in addition to those mentioned by other students above -- I can vouch for the one on the boat.

Ok...the drunken incident on the Boat Cruise took place in 2005, where the kid got arrested. The same guy got into a fight at the BC Law Prom in 2007 with a non law student and needed stitches.

End of story.

84 - I'm pretty sure there was never a fight at the PILF auction, at least not inthe past two years. There was a fight ending in a bottle being broken over someone's head at law prom '07, and a fight on the boat last year, but not at the auction. As for permanent injuries - who knows.

I love BC Law so much...drunken debauchery and v10 jobs :)

Last time I got lost at UVA I just popped my collar and threw on a pink baseball camp. I didn't have any trouble that night.

29/57 - yeah it looks like you've pretty much got it all figured out - a few years of that "prestige stuff" on your resume, and the world will beat down your door, because twenty-something junior associates are so valuable.

Here's a little education: contrary to what you're mommy told you 7 years ago while she was tucking you in nighty night, you are not special. There are hundreds like you at Cravath alone, and thousands more at other firms. Get over yourself and stop being a little douchebag.

But don't let me get you too down - maybe if you keep your stupid mouth shut and get a little real experience, the hedgies and ibankers will let you hold their jocks.

Nice to know that BC is still little more than a gathering of dumbass rich kids.

I LOVE the way that people who got two or three more questions on a single test in their life feel they can bash on BC. T-14 huh, does that mean state school in the northwest or mid-west? get over yourselves. Why not identify yourself? Where do you go to school? At least the 500 law students who go on this have a damn good time. I looked at this thread because everyone one of my classmates thought it was hilarious and figured other people would think the same. Apparently the cynicism and competitive nature that they teach at other schools isn't just reserved for your classmates. Tomorrow I will be on that boat dressed like a pirate loving life and having a great time. You who feel the need to hate on my school will be hating life as usual. That is just what you do. Good luck with that.

The Jesuits should be proud.

I second #88. BC Law knows how to have fun and get sh*t done!!!

Haha i know all about these incidences. I was heavily involved in one of em. Good times when you get blood on you and it ruins your shirt and tie.

I was on all 3 boat cruises and here are some facts

1. The incident was a right hook to to the nose causing it to break. The guys were actually buddies down the years and I saw them chatting after the fight.
2. It was not the same student causing trouble, it was different guys.
3. The part about the grad students not wanting to go with the law students was pure b.s. The dean in question makes a lot of things up.

Lets not diss BC. It's a great school, a lot friendlier and nicer than some schools ranked above it and surprise surprise more than 50% of my class, me included are in V 50 firms.

97 is right. The person who got arrested is the same person that got hit with a bottle at law prom. The fight on the boat cruise was two different guys.

So, in other words, every BC event involves assault. Classy.

say what you will, but it seems BC has a good time, and while you harp on T-14 nonsense, BC pulls in a top 5 ranking for jobs

50 -- Lame and tame, at least by our standards. Shout out to Alma!

#7, as a Bostonian I say with confidence that nobody gives a crap where Sam Adams is Brewed. We drink it because it tastes good. Everyone around here knows that they brew their specialty beers here and their standard boston lager in pennsylvania but that's really not a big deal. Have fun staying at home researching where beer is brewed while us ugly riff-raff actually have a good time.

Also, whoever is number 92 can come find me on the boat tonight and I'm buying you a beer! Well put. I'm seriously going up to every pirate I see tonight and asking if you're the author.

For the record, the boat cruise ended up being awesome as usual. I love BC!

#104, I am #92. No pirate costume cause I was too busy trying to get other things done. However if you saw someone in blue polyester bell bottoms and a brown polyester short with roses. That was me
