What's The Worst Law School In New York?
There are 11 ABA accredited law schools in New York City and Long Island (including Pace, even though the law school is in White Plains). It's a bit douchy to argue over who's best, but it's pretty fun to argue over which law school is the worst. Nobody thinks that they go to the absolute worst law school in the city. But that means one student body is dead wrong. Let's find out who.... -

Caption Contest: Have a Seat...
Some people say that you'd have to be crazy to go to law school during these times of economic instability, but people keep going. Some go because they're delusional -- they think that they'll be in the top ten percent of the class. Some go because they're narcissistic -- they think that they'll get to listen to themselves talk for hours on end in a law school classroom. Some go because they're masochists -- they think that they'll get beaten by the Socratic method and the curve. Have law schools realized that their students may need psychiatric intervention? -
