Fourth Tier Dean Explains Why You Should Attend His Law School

I hope the admitted applicant did due diligence before turning in his deposit to Hamline and found the law scam blogs in time to save him from his demise. The applicant sure as heck won't get the truth by asking Hamline admissions why the school is ranked in the fourth tier and the actual number of Hamline graduates who find jobs that will pay off their $33,022/year tuition.

In March, I wrote a post entitled, Why Are You Taking the Bar Exam?, and included an interview featuring students from Hamline Law and other third and fourth tier Minnesota law schools who had not secured a job after graduation. One Hamline Law grad even admitted that he was contemplating going back to school to get an accounting degree. You know, something that will actually help him find a job. Here is the video again:

The Hamline dean is correct in one respect when he tells the admitted applicant that "unless you're considering an elite law school within the top 20, your success as a student and professional will not depend on the pedigree of your law diploma". It won't matter because most students outside of the top 20 will never find a lucrative career in the law. People who graduated from top 20 law schools can't even find jobs anymore. Second tier, third tier, fourth tier - they are all toilet schools. Not only are these schools a bad investment but they can actually destroy your chances of getting a lucrative job in another field. Hopefully this admitted applicant and others will come to this realization before they send in their tuition check this summer.
