Vital advice about the crippled job market

By , November 11, 2009

With the employment situation in the tank, it is more important than ever for prospective law students to meet the requirements for admission to a top-quality law school. Because of the collapse of the overall economy, law schools are seeing a tsunami of prospective students.

Law schools can be (and are) more fastidious about their precise law school requirements than they have ever been in recent history.

At the same time, the economy for lawyers is horrible. Law firms are exhibiting higher degrees of snobbery in the hiring process than they have exhibited in recent memory.

When I graduated, during the late 1990s stock boom, which was a good day, the average starting salary for members of my class in electronic engineering was $50,000.00. Yes, this was long ago. So, there was some real risk that I was about to spend 3 years of my life and a small fortune for a graduate diploma that was less valuable than the first degree that I already had. Fully a third of the licensed attorneys in Texas do something other than practice law. There just isn’t enough legal employment to go around.

For every kid making $165,000.00 a year straight out of school, there are 10 fresh lawyers making $40,000.00 per year. Now, if you have an English degree, you may here $40,000 per year and think, “Wow, that’s a huge step up!” But wait, that $40,000 per year is after you sink $100k in loans and lose the opportunity to make a living wage during the years that you are in law school. Going $100k into debt for a $40k/year job is not a good plan. You don’t need a business degree to see that this one is upside-down.

The law is two career ladders. If you’re not successful, you will end up coming out of school to a $40k/year job (or none at all) with $100k in debt.

The difference between being lucky and turning your life into a living Hell is going to a respected law school. The difference between getting into a respected law school and having to accept a unemployable law school is your ranking relative to the law school admission requirements. They are:

* Your LSAT score
* Your Undergraduate GPA
* Your Race
* Your Admissions Essays
* Your Letters of Recommendation
* Your Resume (this means everything else)
* Your string pulls

Now, there are some of these factors that you can, in fact, control. And there are some that you can’t adjust. Your goal needs to be to focus on the factors that you can adjust in a way that changes the outcome.
