I am sure there is a relationship. However, the relationship would likely be lessened if loans were widely available to cover tuition and living expenses since law school admissions offices mainly focus on undergraduate GPA and LSAT (with the rare exception of the legacy admits).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11488416.post-22836705286377204652008-09-11T14:36:00.000-04:002008-09-11T14:36:00.000-04:00I can only guess.

I almost never run across someone who was working class or poor. <BR/><BR/>Recently I attempted to correlate scholarly productivity with the level of law school attended. I hit a snag because once you get to the top 40 schools or so it hard to find someone who did not attend an Ivy League or highly ranked schools. The pathway to those schools is usually not by way of a working class upbringing.<BR/><BR/>It would be interesting to know.Jeffrey Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647017160134065739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11488416.post-41753705712478416062008-09-11T13:46:00.000-04:002008-09-11T13:46:00.000-04:00After reading this post it made me curious about s...After reading this post it made me curious about something. What specific class background do you think most law school faculty come from? I started to wonder because I consider myself to be from an upper middle class background but I do think I have a sense of perspective about money.<BR/><BR/>I was supported 100% through my undergraduate education by a parent with a professional degree. I also lived in better accommodations than many of my peers. I then borrowed about 20% of the money I needed during my years in law school. Even though I have been somewhat privileged I know what it is like to not be able to afford things. I also know what it is like to budget. <BR/><BR/>It made me wonder if most law school faculty are from the upper class/trust fund type backgrounds or more of an upper middle class background. It seems that having parents with professional degrees wouldn't allow most people to have a total disregard for money. <BR/><BR/>What is your opinion?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
