* Yale Law School is asking Obama to repeal ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Or maybe they are telling him to do it? It doesn’t matter does it? He’s not listening. [Transracial]
* Some people think that the Vault rankings should have showed more movement at the top. But let’s get another year of associate surveys under our belt first. [Bar and Bench]
* Average salary based on undergraduate degree. Personally, I think horticulturalists make a lot more — assuming they can hook up with an organization that knows how to move product. [Tax Prof Blog]

I suppose I should know the answer to this already, but is Yale Law School accredited by the ABA? A member in good standing of the American Association of Law Schools?
1, Yale Law School is not to be confused with Yale University School of Law. The former is an online non-accredited school not eligible for accreditation. The latter is well-respected and accredited. Yale University School of Law has been unsuccessful in causing Yale Law School to cease and desist operations because they let the trademark lapse.
Bar and Bench pwned Cadwalader and Latham. Take that TTTs
"There's been rough justice elsewhere as well with Latham & Watkins, the lords of the layoff who made a record 190 attorneys redundant along with 250 staff, sliding down to #17, where the cool kids never go. And don't even mention Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft, erstwhile sultans of structured finance who find themselves downgraded to junk, crashing from #26 in the 2009 rankings to #60 this year."
fourfth.
Cadwalader and Latham got Lathamed
Nothing about Sotomayor's ascension today? I expected some bitchy comments on here about her hoop earings...
6 - you just made them.
The firms outside the top 15 or 20 are more fungible and are so those rankings are bound to be more sensitive to layoff news. That said, another year like this past one could hurt the big boys - CSM in particular.
I wanna see a table of lawyer salaries by undergrad degree. I bet that engineering pwns philosophy/history/Engrish/economics.
I can't stand these law weenies in their ivory towers. Yale Law Students petitioning Obama to repeal don't ask don't tell and Stanford/NYU students with their stupid protests over the past few weeks. God forbid any one of these losers does anything to actually serve the country they so gleefully criticize. They should all go find an island somewhere and create your utopian society with Michael Moore as their leader. They'd all be dead in a few weeks.
10: i like you, you sound smart
