Is law school still a viable career path for English majors?

Are there any good novels which realistically depict the life of a lawyer in the 21st century?

The reality is that lines in the sand are being drawn, and these academic institutions that consider themselves elite will simply insulate their inner circles - for example, the nepotists that rise into high level political and government positions. do you think the average joe is really affecting the upper class that they think they brush shoulders with?

If you have been in Law you know Judges are not worthy of respect in any shape or form, and that it is only the authority of the court they embodie that is worth a damn. A judge in a school is just another shithead teacher.

It’s no better or worse than any other career path. The singular reason you go to law school is because it’s a requirement to take the bar exam and not because you get a quality education.

If you do decide to go, go young but take the time to max your LSAT so you can get into the highest ranked school possible for the lowest cost possible.

The last 70y my country has been governed by a handful of political families that sent their subzero IQ offsprings to elite American universities, then get sent to work at some investment bank for 2-3y and then get voted parliament members and prime ministers.
The American degree is for the average voter the ultimate proof of competence. You can be a spineless idiot that can't speak without a prompt but the degree & family name guarantees a life of leasure and immense wealth.

It’s worse than that because in America, our government and states are dominated by lawyers with law degrees from so-called “elite” schools. It’s not merely that they have high social status and wealth. They have political power too. There are many political offices which you cannot even serve in without a law degree and professional experience, particularly from an elite school and elite firm. This country was run by lawyers for 200 years and now we’re paying the price.

As an english major-turned-attorney I would advise everyone who was in my shoes, considering law school after graduating with a worthless toilet paper degree, to think hard about whether spending 6 figures on a difficult advanced degree in an extremely tight and competitive job market is something that would put you in a better situation than, say, working at Starbucks or Amazon without that debt. If nothing else, you need to work at a law office before deciding it's a career you want to do, so you can witness firsthand how much you can handle boring work and stressful situations.

That’s interesting to know. I talked to a few schools and told them I’d be matriculating at 30 or 31. They told me they’re happy to take older students but the typical student is 25 or younger. Anyway, it’s not really the age that’s an issue for me so much as a question of like “isn’t there something I can do that makes more sense given what I’ve already done”? Law school is more what I wish I did than what I want to do, if that makes any sense at all. Appreciate the advice regardless.

If you get into a good school (at least top 20) and you get a good scholarship that minimizes your debt. You also have to be willing to work your ass off and network in order to actually get good grades and a job. It is much harder than undergrad because you're on a curve so you have to actually outperform your classmates, who if you are a 4channer are in all likelihood smarter, more sociable, and with superior work ethics. As I said it is an extremely competitive market to get good grades and a decent attorney job that doesn't make you want to kill yourself.
Then when you do get a job you won't be making big money (meaning you are going to get fucked in the ass by your loans for decades) unless you are at a big firm where they will work you like a slave doing the most boring shit imaginable for 80 hours a week.

Well it requires a high level of literacy and written communication skills which one would at least hope would be the product of an English degree. There are of course many ways to get those skills without such a degree, mainly by reading and writing. Law involves interpreting often heavily stylized, dense texts, and if that's what you've been learning what to do in English class, it applies.

Personally I would major in the area immediately related to the domain of law you want to get into. Doing so will differentiate you as a candidate. Corporate law? Study business. Criminal law? Criminology. Family law (divorce, child custody, etc). Sociology/psychology.

The Club of Rome has a youtube channel with multiple videos going into explicit detail about their plans.

Basically, they want to reduce the population through soft eugenics (porn, birth control, cultural engineering, etc.) and also destroy the ability of western countries to exercise viable political autonomy by saddling them with a "green new deal" which basically leaves them indebted for the next century with expensive construction projects that require ridiculous upkeep just to keep society running.

Then they want to offshore their assets (previously in China, I don't know if this is still the case) while they control demo Western Civilization. After it's burned to the ground, they'll move their assets back in and buy everything back for pennies on the dollar.

If you can use your degree to get a government job where you live, that's probably the best option.

But surely a less soul crushing job. American history is filled with lawyers and would-be lawyers who ran from legal advisory and embraced legislating.

[Anonymous No.21779511]

>>21779237
All of those people were already rich and well-connected sociopaths who could afford to not work for years while running their campaigns. The only way it could be considered less soul-crushing is because you cannot have a soul when you are a politician. And the reason that so many of those people are former lawyers is because practicing law in most contexts will grind your soul away to nothingness which sets you up perfectly for a career in politics.
You know how there are those vtuber/kpop/eceleb fans that are fucking obsessed with the viewer count numbers of how well their oneitis eceleb does on a daily basis? Now imagine you are a politician and your actual livelihood depends on that type of statistical autism, and you HAVE to be that obsessed with winning and manipulating people to vote for you.

Well, if that’s your impression I won’t argue with you but my anecdotal experience is that you don’t need to be particularly well-connected or wealthy to run or win at the state or local level. Many of the people who get tapped though are lawyers either way, and many people who end up aspiring to office wish they had at least pursued a career as a lawyer for that reason.

Yes, if you get a good lsat score and go to a mid tier school for full scholarships. But that cheat code may be too late. The schools are dropping out of rankings and probably dropping required lsat tests because they want to be able to cover their tracks and do Affirmative Action once it gets banned. My school was pretty good, but we got a new dean after my first year and she has tried to make the school more diverse and harassed our federalist society. Time is running out for this career path to be viable.

Critical theory is a nothingburger. Have you even read Critique the journal or any Adorno? It’s just whinging about no one taking them seriously as they cry about the “ossification” of literature.
Spivak and maybe bell hooks are the only ones I see as obsessed with race and gender, but they’re not even really theorists and they have an iffy relationship to critique.
Just blame post-colonialism and feminism; it makes it clearer.

I’m saying that Critical Theory isn’t really connected to activism anyway; the activism comes from political groups or just rich students being bored and needing to feel morally superior, to even to get ahead in the rat race as universities try to seem cutting edge.
Critical theory is always some upper class poofta writing about the invention of a steam engine and how it relates to the Count of Monte Cristo or something useless. You’re (rightfully) mad at feminism and post-colonialism, which are just politics that have nothing to do with Adorno nor Latour. They might have tangential connections to Marx but barely any contemporary “Marxists” even read anything, let alone Marx.
No one even teaches Critical Theory at university until postgrad, and it’s usually got nothing to do with any real politics.

Law school is in a "Barbarian at the gates" moment. There are evil forces pounding on it and demanding its submission. I personally think it's already done for. I am in law school right now and there's a fertile hatred (in the faculty and students) of the law as its practiced and understood. Once these students find their way into positions of power (and they WILL find their way into them), the West (as a concept) is really going to be dead.

I'd just like to add that legions of DIE administrators, and undergraduate re-programming before law school have been performing exceptionally. Law schools were basically ground zero for most of the nonsense today (CRT, 'sub-altern' and minority voice inclusivity protests, and (the worst, of the worst) the incorporation of deconstructionist philosophy).

See: Charles Lawrence, Kimberle Crenshaw, and Mari Matsuda.
Essential to understanding: Jacques Derrida

Overall, I am enjoying learning about the law and the reading, writing, and analysis aspect of it. I would still recommend it if your option is between a legal career v. soulless retail/minimum wagie work.

Humanity would sink into eternal darkness, it would fall into a dull and primitive state, were the Jews to win this war. They are the incarnation of that destructive force that in these terrible years has guided the enemy war leadership in a fight against all that we see as noble, beautiful, and worth keeping.

At least think they will with their cunning plots.
But in the long-run, we will.
History is cyclical, left-extremism will only provoke right-extremism; the pendulum will always swing. There is no straight course, only the tipping of scales. That is, until the cycle resets and begins anew; wherein, at the dawn of, we, the righteous, will reign and create paradise on Earth.
We only have to bide time until the inevitable decay has set fully so we can usher in a new Golden Age; hopefully more and more closer to its eternal realisation--as the truth is with us, and the perseverance of its followers knows no bounds.
