<p>if im trying to make my way to biglaw and fight some corporate jackasses, do i need an mba and law degree or is there some kind of joint bussiness law degree that these schools offer? im really much more interested in harvard</p>
<p>Going to biglaw means working *for *those corporations, not against them. You do not need an MBA, although it can be helpful in some situations; a JD is both necessary and sufficient.</p>
<p>i went to the harvard website and it has a spotlight about the mad money guy talking about bizlaw and how its something to get in to. Yea if i worked for the government could ig et those figures and fight the jackasses?</p>
<p>i wanna be the guy who puts the bad banks down away</p>
<p>Those people don’t work in biglaw and don’t get paid the high salaries. Biglaw people (high-paid people, in other words) defend those banks.</p>
<p>what about medical law, can i make money fighting insurance companies? i can’t get the stigma of a corporate lawyer out of my head. I saw a joint program with med/law at harvard but i think i still want to study bussiness more.</p>
<p>So you want to fight rich people while becoming one of them?</p>
<p>I honestly don’t think you’re familiar with the diversity of the legal field, and what each field does. For instance, there is no reason with your above example to get an MD. If I were you, I would look at what each field does more.</p>
<p>i would like to know more about stanford law too</p>

You should write this on your personal statement, word for word. </p>
<p>Oh and you’re pretty much a shoo in at Harvard and Yale.</p>
<p>sorry for being too smart</p>
<p>seriously, you are just beginning your academic career at a community college. The best thing to focus on at this point is getting the best grades you can and transferring to a 4-year school. Also, there are many books about law school and the practice of law that you can read to find out if law is a good career for you. You really shouldn’t think about particular law schools until you know what LSAT score and GPA will be on your law school applications, because those two factors will really determine where you can get in. And you don’t have to know what type of lawyer you will be until you’re already in law school (and some people change the type of law they practice even after they’ve graduated!). </p>
<p>For example, I came to law school pretty sure I would be a transactional lawyer (not going to court, but helping clients reach make business deals with others and advising them about tax consequences of these agreements). I just graduated from law school and for the next two years, at least, I will actually be going to court all the time and my clients will be individuals, not companies or investors.</p>
<p>getting in isn’t the problem im just looking farther down the road. Beyond the JD</p>
<p>
You should write that as your “Why School” essays.</p>
<p>I can say from experience that one of the coolest jobs in the world is an ADA in a big, crime-infested city. Talk about an education. A month and you’ll have no illusions - in both a good and a bad way.</p>
<p>If chubbsubb is ■■■■■■■■ in an extremely clever way, then I tip my hat to him for giving me a few laughs.</p>
<p>If he’s being serious, then he’s in for a rude awakening sooner or later.</p>
<p>
Very unlikely, if you glance at his previous posts. It would require a ridiculous amount of effort to ■■■■■ this well for this long.</p>
<p>hahaha…sorry but i love this guy…read all his other posts…you wont regret it.</p>
