When an advisee would tell him that they might just go to law school because they can't think of anything else to do, he would say: Law school is hard and expensive and takes three years of your life- you wouldn't just go get a PhD in Physics would you?<br /><br />That usually made them think a bit more seriously about their choices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6019808636238280118.post-68484757395276313712010-07-14T18:07:38.385-04:002010-07-14T18:07:38.385-04:00Zenovia, ATL may have served that purpose in the p...Zenovia, ATL may have served that purpose in the past. Currently, only Harvard JD Elie Mystal has the balls to call out the law school industry, for its numerous lies. And look at the sick personal attacks that come his way, from the supposed "elite". <br /><br />It just goes to show that racist dogs OFTEN come from privileged backgrounds. Hell, just look at the history of Western Civilization, i.e. "We must invade Nation X, set these indigenous peoples free, teach them our correct, superior customs/traditions, and remove these savages from their precious metals and natural resources. All in the name of progreess, of course." (wink wink)<br /><br />This also applies to most modern white liberals in academia and politics. They profess to relate to and empathize with poor people, women and minorities - but they CANNOT truly relate to these people. They don't even know how to address these groups. Instead, these waelthywhite liberals think that by writing some esoteric article in some obsure academic journal, they are helping to right a wrong.

ATL has a fresh, modern voice that is all encompassing. I specifically appreciate its youthful, non-traditional, all-inclusive voice, which is represented by its diverse editorial staff.<br /><br />Again, I ride with ATL. It's about time someone shook things up.Zenovia N.

I stopped reading long ago (while still in BigLaw) because what it revealed about the soullessness of my colleagues made my work environment that much less bearable. I don't see how anyone could defend them; this latest post from Lat doesn't surprise me in the least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6019808636238280118.post-87021485512514476152010-07-14T15:05:30.220-04:002010-07-14T15:05:30.220-04:00I disagree.

We would not know that people/businesses were so desperate to survive that they would do anything, and I mean ANYTHING to save their own butts hoping that no one would notice. If it wasn't for ATL, we would not have as much information as we have now. We would not know about these transgressions or even have someone to hold them accountable for these actions. <br /><br />Above the Law is alright with me.Zenovia N.
