Not making Law Review at a bottom feeder school means you will be hanging a shingle and teaching yourself how to scrounge out a living under circumstances that are far removed from what most people envision when they apply to law school.


Didn't do law review. Went a middle of the road school. Hung a shingle. I'd be shocked if anyone in my class who did law review makes more than I do.

Law review is a huge waste of time unless you're shooting for a clerkship or biglaw.

I know plenty of good attorneys at legit law firms from LSU, Loyola, and Southern who were never on law review.

With that said, if you’re eligible to participate in law review, you should do so.

Best law school advice is don’t go
Law school is awesome. It's being a lawyer that sucks.
