It was only a matter of time before this useless thread further devolved into cunty bickering about whether or not NYU is a peer of Chicago and Columbia.

Are we sure it was not a reference to the Honorable Admiral Ackbar, esq.?

I know this doesn't really matter... But I don't see the connection between the sports usage of the term "trap game" and his law school term for a trap. He kind of explains the sports term, although not really accurate, and when he explains the connection to law schools it really doesn't have any connection whatsoever.

I know that doesn't matter, but I just don't really know why he brought up the term of a trap game.

his criteria are about 100% akbar-trap and 0% football-trap. i'm guessing he chose the football analogy because he thought it was less offensive.

Like I said, this was a stupid way to put it. But btw, I have no interest in Chicago, or Columbia, or Havard, or NYU, or any school I didn't apply to. And I have no reason to defend any of them. But for those crying that any mention of Chicago or Columbia should be accompanied by NYU:

Chicago = #1
Columbia = #3
NYU = #9

By this metric Cornell and Northwestern should be mentioned with Chicago and Columbia.

CCN is actually Columbia Cornell Northwestern, didn't you know?

This is pretty much the only reason I came here. Glad someone else handled it already.

I'm obligated to ask you if you're a brony or just a fan.

I got chu dawg.

I think half of the threads on TLS devolve in this manner, anyway.

word

For the record, I never started that. I flippantly mentioned a couple "prestigious" schools and the prestige whoooores that love these forums snatched it up and ran with it.

Dammit! Scooped.

I'm curious as to what the percentage of total law students getting a shot at BigLaw. As in, if we took the NLJ250 recruitment stats across the whole list of the 200 law schools and factored what the national average is. I'm guessing it's probably somewhere around 5% or less. As it stands, a 20-30% out of these 15-25 ranked schools isn't terrible compared to the national average; they're actually quite good. And despite the large class size, GW sends some of the highest numbers of people into BigLaw; recruiters aren't going to care about how big a percentage it is, they take a lot of talent from there. Trap is definitely the wrong choice of words.

.

So I guess if hypothetical law school X sent 1000 kids to biglaw each year but had a graduating class of 10,000, it's still a good idea. I mean they would send more kids to biglaw every year than any other law school!

subtle anti-Georgetown trolling.
