以下是引用Expert123在2007-5-7 1:17:00的发言：

What is the position of a judge trainer, by the way?

Yes, green card helps.

The question is the costs v. benefits. If you don't mind taking a job that pays less than large firm rates, don't mind taking longer in job search, and don't mind taking cases like immigration, etc, there are opportunities to find jobs. And of course, if you are financially free, getting an education is a personally enriching experience.

i guess he is talking about a public sector position that got fed by government. His word may be true if you work for a government agent, but it is wrong when you are talking about private law firm.

When you are looking for your second, third, fourth job, firms will ask you for your school transcripts and LSAT score in some cases. This does not happen often in other industries.

I see. kinda frustrated...... 

but my lsat is super low, compared to the others; even if I take the exam again, and apply again, it's still hard.......

            HARD是好事, 门槛高是好事, 随随便便都能上名校了, 这学位就没用了.

如果学校在NYC/Chicago/SF等几个商业重镇，不妨斟酌，普通法学院的就业不比其它地区TOP的差。

据我所知，Fordham的JD去顶尖律所的就不不比什么中西部的TOP少，而Brooklyn这样的烂校在NY一线律所也有机会，这在其它地区是不可能的。

另外Law firm的工作比较特殊，它始终注重你的Academic background，你的法学院档次，有无Honor，成绩单，是不是LR，这在商学院学生眼里看来是不可思议的。或者说，社会上的大多数工作都不会如此。

建议打听一下你的法学院的就业前景，如果很差，就放弃算了。

弱问什么是LR？

慕萧峰

Law Review，如果是Law Review成员，面试中绝对加分。越是好律所其中律师是LR的比例越高，甚至很多律师是LR Editor。

反之，如果不是LR，进入顶尖律所几乎不可能，进入一线律所的机会也会变小。

谢谢前辈分享与指教

The differenct is:

In T14, 80% people will get job offer from BigLaw. These days, the number should be higher than 95%

in good average schools, 50%

T2, 10%

T3, 3%???

The biggest question here: are you sure you can be a top-of-class student in an average school?

I have seen Chinese student who scored straight A and got Coif and other honors. I have also seen Chinese students who barely survived.

Which group do you belong to?

又被虎哥给吓住了。要是进不了前50％，到时候可怎么办呀
