Microsoft Laptop Hunters Ad Shows Just How Stupid Some Law Students (or Actors) Are

Obviously this girl isn't going to Cardozo...First off that laptop that is "$2000" is a full 2 inches bigger than that 13" Dell she ends up with. Second, Yes, you can get a MacBook for under 1700. Heck, you can get almost any MacBook for under 1700! Third, why would you spend less money on a laptop, when "Microsoft" is paying you 1700 for whichever laptop you want! Obviously this girl isn't a law student and that's not really her mother. They are probably both actors...and not even decent ones at that. At least we can give Lauren some credit for that.

Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law Is Now A Tier 1 School of PARTY!

As I always say to prospective law students, Don't do it! But as I also always say to prospective law students, if you're gonna be able to choose your prison, might as well pick the one where it's most fun to get anally raped everyday. (Too much?) Okay, I don't know any prospective law students, but that's what I would say. To help with this, the good folks at SubtleDig.com have published their first annual Party Law School Rankings...

Cardozo makes another quality showing in this list, holding steady in the "Top Tier" at #45. That's some good consistency. Also consistent: Michigan is the 8th partiest law school, compared to #9 overall on the U.S. News list. The following notables, however, need to step their game up: good ol' Fordham University comes in #53; Penn State is still stuck in Tier 2 at #61; Boston College and Boston University (What's the difference? Not much) come in at #71 and #75, respectively; and American University brings in the rear at #93. Shows what you know, U.S. News and World Report!

Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law Is Now A Tier 1 School of Law

The U.S. News and World Report's Law School Rankings for 2010, scheduled to be released tomorrow, were leaked over the weekend, and it contains some good news - but I'll get to that in a bit. The best five schools are unchanged from last year with Yale taking the top spot, followed, in order, by Harvard, Stanford (dropped to third from a second place tie), Columbia and NYU. Other notables include Michigan at #9; Boston University at #20; Boston College at #26; good ol' Fordham University at #30; American University at #45; and Penn State University still stuck in Tier 2 (i.e. ranks 51-100) at #65.

On to the good news: The Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law of Yeshiva University finally cracked the top tier of law schools (following last year's unexpected drop) making this year's fourth highest jump, six spots to #49. This bodes well for those of you (whoever you are!) graduating from Cardozo in the next year.

Woo hoooo it's a celebration bitches. Free legal advice on me!
