This is great news for those who hate lawyers. We have all heard of lawyers stealing from their clients, but this firm gives you an incentive to do so. There's a joke in here somewhere.

You titled the thread "lawyers wanted" not "legal interns wanted". It has nothing to do with you other than the fact that you have reading comprehension problems. I really don't understand what point you are trying to make with that title.

i did grasp much. i grasped that i shouldn't believe statistics pumped out by a business as truth. people lie. businesses lie. this is for one's own benefit. the college president isn't going to work everyday thinking about how he can tell the truth and ensure everything is fair. he wants his and that's it. every organization cooks its books to maximize its profits and these college presidents and faculty aren't driving 10 year old honda civics while living in an apartment shared by 5 roommates. apparently you did not grasp much about how reality works because you live in a textbook world.
I don't really understand what you're going on about here either. What is your point? That Harvard is cooking its books all those poor Ivy league grads are just suffering poor souls? As far as my understanding of how reality works for professionals in Cambridge, MA, well that's where I am. MIT, Harvard, BU, BC, etc people tend to do ok. That's what I see at least. I don't know how it goes for 2nd, 3rd, 4th tier graduates in middle America. I'm sure it's a different game. Harvard is just not the best example to showcase those struggling groups.

They are looking for Law Students, usually 3rd year.....The student gets some real experience, learns things and some clock hours for when they are looking to hang out their own shingle. This is the norm.

Wrong again buckeroo. It goes into the endowment, much of it pays for the very, very generous financial aid that Harvard doles out.

Do you even know what is taught in law school? It's not what you think it is, obviously.

Excess charity funding goes to their endowment. Harvard has one of the largest endowments in the world.

Do you even know what an endowment is? Did you seriously think Harvard spends every penny as soon as it comes in?
