How Much Is a Quinnipiac Law Student Worth?
Back in the day, young lawyers would complain that they were “selling their souls” for $160K a year. But now we are in a recession and the price of a fresh soul has come down considerably. From Craigslist:
1 Soul of Healthy Young Man - $100000 (Hamden, CT)For sale:
The gently used soul of a healthy, Roman Catholic, young twenties, quinnipiac law student.So, let me give you some background on the product and the reasons for selling:
My student loans are piling up and I’ve realized I really don’t give a shit what type of law I practice, I’m really only in this thing to further myself economically. Problem is, my student loans are outrageous and by the time I pay them off I’ll be spending the rest of my money on Cialis and colonoscopies. I don’t want that, I don’t need that. So let’s make a fucking deal.
In exchange for the payment of my student loans you will get my soul. This is a la motherfucking carte. No organs included. No skin, no vas differens, and certainly no homunculus.
Dude, you go to Quinnipiac, can’t you get a job as a pollster?
Just the other day, we told you about a law firm that was looking for free labor from an attorney who had already graduated from law school and passed the bar. Here, this law student wants somebody to purchase his soul for $100,000 bucks. When inflated expectation meets free market capitalism the fields are soaked with the tears of the martyrs.
Read more of the ad after the jump.
The Quinnipiac law student tries his best to make the hard sell:
Now, as I’ve stated before this soul is gently used, and to be honest it’s not in the best shape. But, I think in terms of soul prices, it’s a fair one. We’re talking $300 for a 1989 Ford F150 with a little fire damage. It’s a Ford, it’ll run forever and it’ll get you where you’re going. For a little more detail, this soul works out regularly, is healthy, and has only had 12 sexual partners. But, for the sake of full disclosure, I’ll be honest - I am a Catholic, so no i don’t use condoms. That’s how God wanted it. Also, this soul is rather well-endowed, for a soul anyway.
It is kind of funny that this law student is actively trying to sell his soul. It’s like he doesn’t even know that this profession will rip it from him like MacDuff was untimely ripped from his mother’s womb.
But the kid does his best to give potential buyers full information:
This soul is also smart enough to go to law school, but just not quite smart enough to go to med. school. So look if you’re in the market for a bottle of grey goose and you buy a bottle of dubra, don’t be dissapointed. I’m saving you $30 and most importantly it’ll get you drunk either way.For any questions or further inquiries please feel free to e-mail me. Considering the state of the economy and the likelihood that my loans are being taken out through banks in China, I would prefer Remnimbi, but i will also accept the Euro. Also, if in last resort the US dollar will suffice.
Disclaimer;
This soul has not been tested for AIDS and in no way shape or form believes in an after life. All sales are final and are a la motherfucking carte.
The kid isn’t going to get $100,000, but how much would you pay? I’ll start the bidding at $3. I’m always in the market for a cheap butler.

First to say, what soul?

12 sexual partner + law school - condoms = not a question of whether he's got a VD, but how many and what color of pus they produce in concert.
That was possibly the most awkward shoe-horned "LOOK AT ME-- I READ MACBETH! AREN'T I CULTURED??!" reference I've ever seen.
Sorry, kid. Obama lied and capitalism died.
Quinnipiac law. THAT IS WHY YOU DONT HAVE A JOB

5 asks his long-time girlfriend to put a condom on him before giving him an hj,
"This soul is also smart enough to go to law school, but just not quite smart enough to go to med. school. "
Um, it doesn't take a lot of smarts to get into TTT law school, which Quinnipiac most certainly is.
over/under on his LSAT score is 148.
So he drinks heavily, screws around out of wedlock, went to (a shitty) law school, and cares for nothing but money?
FRAUD. This guy's soul was lost to him many years ago.
Elie -- Was the comment by "Elie Mystal" even more offensive than the picture? Please share.
I love the "I'm Catholic" and the "that's how God wanted it" lines coupled with the "This soul ... in no way shape or form believes in an after life."
I understand having cultural hang-ups from being raised in a faith you don't follow as an adult. But if you don't really believe in an afterlife, why worry whether God will be annoyed you used a condom?
According to The Simpsons, shouldn't the going rate for a soul be 1 donut? (Then again, that episode did first air back in 1993...)
Is MacDuff the beer mascot on the Simpsons?
I call douche
Instead of selling his soul to pay for law school, couldn't he just sleep with a late night talk show host?
what's up with the motherfucking a la carte? what's so special about a la carte?
this is neither clever nor funny.
20: he just learned that word at his day job.
Mystal you're a complete fucking loser and a travesty to the legal profession. Take your affirmative action education and shove it up your gaping asshole.
Where is Quinapac law school?
Anyways bro, get roommate, get cheap job, pay off loans.
Skip country, give Barry Hussein the finger.
There are a million contingency plans that I have for when I graduate with no job.
Anti-Catholic prejudice:
The socially acceptable way to spew bigotry!
Can the ATL editors take a break from posting this garbage and get on some INTERESTING Stories?
For example, transactional work is making a comeback:

smart? to get in to law school?
It is "vas deferens"
Can someone please get Michael Moore out here so he can tell me what to think and show me who I should be angry at.
17 - or $5 depending on the person's age (see Simpsons S07E04).
12 partners professed by a male = the 3x factor. At most, this guys been with 4.
His soul is worthless as he does not appear to be the fire-breathing, pit bull litigation type. However, in the spirit of being a good shepard I believe a $1.75 to be more than fair.
I'd like to hire him as a Halloween decoration to scare the trick or treaters. Does $5 an hour seem fair?
$5 an hour for this guy? Maybe $5 total. How can he say he's Catholic (multiple times) and yet "in no way shape or form believes in an after life"? No wonder he ended up at Quinnipiac...he's too stupid to know the basic tenets of Catholic theology.

I've got $100,000 on under. And, apparently, both Quinnipiac and ATL suffer from failure to use the automatic spell checker built into every word processor, browser, IM software, etc.
One more thing. @9 FTW! I don't know what s/he said (funny how s/he is equally applicable to ell-ee), but logging in w/ ell-ee's name and posting something that gets removed by the moderator? Brilliant.
douchey enough for dook, but smart enough for the Q
Why does ATL continuously post legal gossip instead of real substantive legal happenings? Isn't this a serious site for legal news? It's almost like this site is becoming an online legal tabloid or something.
This young man has to start thinking outside the Law School Box. Why sell your soul, when you can trade it in? For a better soul. A more appealing soul. A less, or more depressed soul? Name the soul you want and go get it. Check Out A New Way of Thinking:

My main problem with Elie is that her posts try to do too much. The ad speaks for itself. There's no reason why this needed to be an eight to ten inch post. Unless of course Elie was dreaming again.

I think the guy who wrote the craigslist post sounds hot
lawyers are a dime a dozen these days, thanks to the huge oversupply of lawyers because of how the law schools use inflated, falsified job and salary data to entice youngters into signing them fat student loans.
Google up law school scam and learn,
I suppose that I should know the answer to this, but is Quinnipiac Law accredited by the American Bar Association and a member in good standing of the Association of American Law Schools?
Yawn. Way to take the bait, Elie. This guy's only interest was in getting on ATL.
QU is accredited, assholes.
Hi,
I know this kid. Frankly, he could easily bit the shit out of anyone who posted in this thread... so a bit of respect. ;) He's a nice kid, and he's being fucking hilarious with that Craigslist advert. Anyone who tried to read it seriously (33, 13, 7, 6 et al) needs to ask mom for another check to buy a clue--hello, reality check..
I just hung out with this kid Friday night. He has massive, massive biceps. I mean as big as my head. And -41, many women would find him hot. He is currently single, charming, well built, good complexion. $3 seems a bit low Elie, honestly.
Also, I know people here with LSAT scores in the high 160s and low 170s. (This kid--no idea fwiw, but he's a great kid.) The difference between here and a T1 school is who is at the bottom, not who is the top. It's not a place you go if you want into BigLaw, but given the turn in the economy, who is taking that gamble? Oh I see. Dear douchebags posting as an epeen supplement, you can try to take the piss all you want, but the reality is: here 95% of the people here get some financial aid. A huge portion of these awards are neither small nor trite. Here applications went up 37% last year. Admissions applications went up like 5% nationally last year. Do the fucking math yourself.
People who come here are not interested in working in BigLaw. People here do get placed in gov't positions (and being a Public Defender is actually viable in CT). People come here as a second or third career, and can leverage that. A few people do go into BigLaw. Many people go into criminal law, family law, IP, juvenile law, tax, probate, health law, litigation, and alternative dispute resolution. There are many clinical opportunities here (and the clinical faculty are absolutely great), and we have exceptionally strong teams in Mock Trial and Alternative Dispute Resolution. We are close to Boston, NYC, and the six state capitols. Study Roman Law all you fucking want while I practice drafting motions and build litigation experience.
QU law student here. This is thoroughly embarrassing. Selling your soul? So trite. I have a great sense of humor... most of us here at QU do... but this kid is just making us look bad...
I got a 162 on the LSAT, so obviously I can't even chew bubble gum and study at the same time. So please ease up. We've had a tough enough time already.
Sad little lawyers squabbling over your school rank. Let's face it, none of you enjoy your profession. Good luck avoiding alcoholism!
I want to b my l on someone's ts
Quinnipiac isn't a great law school by any means but I practice in CT and have come across some pretty sharp people who went there. For the record, I went to UConn so no, I'm not trolling for Quinnipiac. Bottom line is not everyone needs to go to a school the prestige of which they're so aroused by that they jerk off to their diploma every night.
41,
Now that you're finished being the butt boy for your Quinnipiac friend, what do you do for an encore? I'd like to hire you for $5 to let me do the same to me. In your own assmunching mind, he may be "single, charming, well built, good complexion" but guess what...he's still unemployed and he still only went to Quinnipiac. That tells me a lot about your low standards.
Wow - this article is in poor taste.
Free market capitalism lets failures fail. Why are schools/students still getting government-backed money poured on them even now?
That's not a free market. Instead it's just another inefficient allocation of productive resources benefitting a elite few (law deans, profs of Quinnipiac),
51, can you count? Obv you meant me, 46. But it seems wherever you went to school, they didn't teach you to count to one hundred.--nor much else, it seems.
He is going--is going to QULaw. Of course he's unemployed. Go buy a fucking clue lol
I agree that this article is in poor taste. I go to Quinnipiac and am not intellectually challenged. We all know Quinnipiac is not a top school, but there is no reason to go on and on about it. I went to a top school for undergrad, had a great LSAT, but I go to Quinnipiac because it's close to my home (that I own), close to my husband's job, they gave me a scholarship, and I have no interest in BigLaw. The bottom line is that I still need to find a job when I graduate and this stupid jerkoff is not helping me at all with his ridiculous CL post, and neither are all the insecure T14ers who get their rocks off with "TTT, you suck" posts. Thanks for nothing.
A good post, very helpful information.
