What about judicial clerkships? LSU or Tulane?

Well. That depends. State or federal?
It’s been years since I did mine. My sense is that Loyola has done a lot better since then on the federal level to the detriment of Tulane.
In state court? I think LSU dominates statewide outside of NOLA. This is gut feel. I could be wrong.

Loyola is better than both of those
People downvoted the shite out of this, but go look at the LA Supreme Court. I personally know several very successful lawyers from the program.
With that said, LSU because football tix and I’m not even joking. Go get your football tix on your way to a law degree, baw!

Tulane is “pay your fees, get your B’s”, if you survive LSU without flunking out, you’re a bad arse!

Can you elaborate more? You're saying Tulane exams tend to be close to the curve while LSU's is more spread out?

Not sure if you are serious, but . . . .
No. He means that Tulane is easier if you can afford it. LSU is a working man’s law school. You have to earn it.

I was serious. I've seen professors that spit 95% of the grades in the B- to B+ range, and then I've seen professors that hand out Cs like Halloween candy.

And I saw profs hand out 48s on an 89 scale like it was nothing. And on that 89 scale, 82 to 84 was the top of the class.
LSU flunked out a high percentage until recently. It was Darwinistic. Maybe Tulane had C students, but it didn’t flunk out a lot of people.

State clerkships. Also I'm a bit confused, how long do clerks stay in their positions? I'm assuming every trial judge in the state can hire one, the intermediate level can hire 2, supreme court can hire 3?

Generally clerkships are one year.
Some federal judges started using “permanent” law clerks about 15 years or so ago. But I think that’s fallen out of favor a bit.

fricking curves. Undergrad does not prepare for that.

One of my last undergrad classes had five students. Prof walks in and announces he grades strictly on the curve. “There are five of you, so there will be one A, one B, one C, one D, and one F.”
Guy next to me leans over, looks at me and says, “I’m gonna fight you for that D.”

Smallest class in undergrad I think was comparative political economy with Kim. Pretty sure everybody walked out of it with at least an A-, B at minimum. Those days are long gone

Yeah the curve sucked, especially staying in Baton Rouge 1L summer in Devlin’s Administrative Law class. We were right above the mandatory curve number and I was the only 1L in the class. 
I enjoyed the class tho tbh.
