is it CR to be a big fish in a small pond given my goals? or are people gonna think im retarded for going to a school outside US News' T50. don't really care where i work, but dont really wanna be locked in to Louisiana big/midlaw either.

If no, save everything you can and crush the dumb kids. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5629102&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310684",#48303139) |

Date: November 6th, 2024 8:45 PM Author: When I grow up I want to be a pumo LSAT sounds stratospherically high for Tulane. Might be the highest in the class, and by a few points. That being said, you still have to put the work in, and you could end up getting pwned by some smart enough mega grinders (watch out for shrews and married guys).
I did something like what you're talking about and had one of the highest LSAT's in my class at a good but not great law school. I had no ambitions of going to biglaw, just wanted to start a shitlaw empire. Which is good because some of my classmates with lower LSAT scores worked like madmen and women (top grades, law review, moot court, etc.) for a chance at biglaw. My greater intellectual horsepower by itself didn't get me much.
I am a huge fan of the big fish in a small pond philosophy, and it has brought me much success and wealth in life. But the challenge is that if you want to go the clerk/Biglaw route, you're not really in a small pond because you're competing against top students from across the country. If you want to go to Tulane, be prepared to embrace it and dive into Nola's version of Biglaw. Not that you have to, but you may find that it's a more natural path than trying to do a prestigious clerkship and then go to NYC biglaw. |

Date: November 6th, 2024 8:59 PM Author: mega fag a lot of what you said rings true in my case. i went to a decent ug and a lot of my peers ran rings around me when it came to having a better work ethic or just being downright smarter.
sometimes, i wonder what life would've been like had i decided to go to bama for ug on a free ride instead of chasing prestige flame. i'm heavily leaning towards putting a deposit down right now. |

Date: November 6th, 2024 9:04 PM Author: When I grow up I want to be a pumo For me, clerkship->biglaw was empty prestige flame. Shitlaw has been incredible and I've been lucky enough to make multiples of what I would make based on my "class year" or whatever the fuck in biglaw. But that's just me. There are reasons most lawyers don't do what I do. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5629102&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310684",#48303264) |

Date: November 6th, 2024 9:14 PM Author: When I grow up I want to be a pumo Redneck real estate disputes in a rural Southern region. These people will come up with cash to fight their cousin or neighbor and prove that they own some ten acre piece of land. And they get into these disagreements with great regularity. Almost no lawyers want to touch these cases, and I am drowning in work. I've hired several associates and am on my way to having a literal lower middle market company within the next couple of years if I continue on this trajectory (which is anything but guaranteed).
It has been a boot camp in tons of different real estate issues, and it has led to me being a real estate investor myself. My holdings have expanded fast over the last couple of years as I've been able to use my legal experience to find some great opportunities. Maybe it continues, maybe it doesn't, but the last few years have been incredible. |
