I sent the video link once but it did not appear at the end of my letter. I sent it twice and the comment is not published in your blog. <br /><br />I send it again here, and i would really like to know, was there a technical error and the video link was not published or you censored that video? In case you censored the video, why you did it?<br /><br />The video "Why law school is a waste of money unless you get into a top school" is at the web page of businessinsider.com in the UK and in their web page in Singapore.<br /><br />http://uk.businessinsider.com/law-school-worth-money-job-rank-2015-1?r=US&IR=T<br /><br />best regards<br /><br />Athena Stafyla Athena Stafylanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11488416.post-55428195804695791342015-10-09T10:15:41.660-04:002015-10-09T10:15:41.660-04:00I studied the law with target to be creative in th...I studied the law with target to be creative in that area of science. I like writing and thinking on societal and legal problems. <br /><br />Earning much much money played no role in my choice to study the law, maybe because my family was wealthy enough to provide me with all learning facilities(like books, time, computers, practical experiences, networking with professionals from the first year of my studies and so on). I protect myself of being idealistic and overcritical to others. I was born under a lucky star and i could be creative in law since my family could afford it to me. <br /><br />On the other side you are absolutely right in your critic that learning processes in legal studies and the whole set of learning goals become more and more degenerated in the recent times through the massive fear of unemployment and the lure of consumption. I think that students and all legal practitioners dance under the general motto of our times, which is "Someone IS what he/she can consume and not what he/she can do and give to the others, to the society." That brings the money immediately ins epicenter and the ideas and ideals on the margin. <br /><br />This is a nice video clip which refers to the lure of money and the law careers. The video is entitled "Why law school is a waste of money unless you get into a top school"<br /><br />The video refers to the problems with the rankings and the meaningless competition for a good ranking. I think you will enjoy really this video because it shows very clearly the logic you try to criticize in many articles.

Once that fact is appreciated, it's not surprising that law school has turned into a mere vehicle to support irrelevant research rather than training future lawyers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
