88 this is 58/63. Actually I didn’t go to law school in MA because I wanted to go a state school (and did in fact). I happen to be from MA originally and my dad is still practicing law there, so I know a bit about MA law schools. I was just trying to be polite about Suffolk, because despite its inability to get its students jobs, it doesn’t turn out complete retards like WNEC and NELS. But if you really think your alma mater sucks as badly as those two schools, so be it. I won’t argue with you on that.

Most of the people going to this school will not have gained admission to UConn. UConn is not a viable option for many people. WNEC, on the other hand, is, and even though it is a crap school, if you want to stay in the area, and graduate with honors, you can do fine.

87, my co-ops were at:
- state agency in hiring freeze
- federal judge who told me 1st day that he doesn’t look at NUSL for actual clerkships
- Fortune 100 company that “merged” with a Fortune 25 company; my promised job disappeared in the rubble. GC of the Fortune 100 has since died.
- mid-size law firm in a state I didn’t take the bar; firm has since dissolved
So, my ability to reconnect with coop employers is zero. Mind you, in a GOOD YEAR, only about 20% of a NUSL class gets offers (plus another 15-20% who get summer associate positions). Since each student has 4 coops, 20% offer rate = 1 out of 16 coops lead to a job.

58, 63 = Suffolk troll….
reality check buddy: a Suffolk degree is just as worthless as a WNEC, NESL, or NU degree. There are two ways to get jobs out of any of these schools… either finish top of your class and get lucky or have solid connections and get lucky
BTW, Suffolk was demoted this year to FOURTH tier.

60 — don’t you have coops that you can reconnect with? isn’t that the whole point of going to northeastern? how can you have multiple law school internships/jobs and not receive a full-time offer from any of them?

William and Lee is a joke of school, and doens’t deserve to be ranked higher than eminently better law schools such as UC Davis, Hastings, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana or Ohio State. That is a fact!

70-76 doesn’t know when to use semi-colons vs. commas. He has inappropriately used both in his multi-post. Congrats on living in Fall River, a city that has only lost 33% of its population since1920! Does your tenement overlook the Route 79 viaduct, the Brayton Point Coal Plant, or one of the 68 mills? Make sure you don’t get your dumb ass killed by Mara Salvatrucha or the ghost of Lizzie Borden! I’m sure you’ll find lots of paying clients in your chosen city, what with its 17% of the population living under the poverty line!
Also, Cooley is the Northeastern Law School of Detroit (or wherever it is).
