now there's a twist on the dirty little secret. In an article from The New York Times on June 21st, 2010 titled "In Law Schools, Grades Go Up, Just Like That".
The article talks about how law schools are inflating students grades in an effort to help the law school students compete with other students across the United states by having good grades. The article cites a specific example of how Loyola Law School Los Angeles has retroactively inflated the grades of its students so they would look more attractive in the competitive job market.
The article goes on to say that in the last couple of years 10 different law schools deliberately changed their grading system to make them more lenient. Is anyone surprised? I'm not. Again, this is not anything new. Every law school around the country has a grading curve, that up until now was a secret.
Okay, it may have been the worst kept secret around, but the point is they did not advertise the fact that there is a grading curve. The only difference lately has been the downturn in the economy. Now law schools are trying to help their students out by making their grades look a little better.
I guess this is good news if you're still in law school, or you're about to enter. But wouldn't it be better if you could finish in the top of your class without having to attend class and study 10+ hours a day?
Wouldn't it be better if you could actually enjoy your law school experience, enjoy making lasting relationships during your three years in law school instead of the current alternative? Makes me wonder why law schools don't address this issue too.
The bottom line is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you need to stand out among your law school classmates. Otherwise, any hope of landing a top clerkship, or making Law Review and ultimately land a great job are slim to none.
It's unfortunate that you are expected to give up three years of your life when you don't have to. And to make matters worse, being forced to give up your life for three years will in many cases lead to many of us becoming disenchanted with being an attorney.
The statistics are nothing short of alarming. As I discuss in "Discontentment in the Courtroom",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the number of attorneys who are unhappy being attorneys is staggering. And there should be no doubt that the culture of law school leads to much of the unhappiness.
Fortunately, you have options. You do not have to be brainwashed into thinking sacrificing three years of your life is required to become an attorney.
Look no further than me to see living proof. Once I discovered "The Secret To Law School", I stepped away from the culture of misery, and instead embraced taking my life back.
What we see law schools doing with the grades makes for some "feel good" moments, but in the long run,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it won't help you stand out from the crowd. And, it does not help one iota when it comes to you enjoying your three years in law school.
The good news is, you can do something to help yourself. But only if you have the ability to take a step back and assess the situation.
And lets face it, to be an above average attorney, that is a required skill. There are a lot of people who manage to get through law school and pass the bar. But that hardly qualifies as being an above average attorney.
Law schools giving you a slightly better grade will not translate into you being a good attorney. There are a couple of things that separate the average from the way above average attorney.
First, you need to have the ability to argue either side of a case,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and do so equally well for both sides. Perhaps the most important skill to have of all is the ability to step back from a situation, even if everyone tells you that situation can only be handled one way, and you can see the other, better way of handling it.
The law school students who enjoy "The Secret To Law School" have that rare ability to see the other side, even tho
