Private Law Practice

Great school. Nice building. Unfortunately most students will not get a job. Unless you have connections you will not find work. ABA ranks the schools according to academic value. I was told Wash U accepts students ( who have connections ) in order to increase the employment statistic. Studying Japanese Law and Chinese law will not help you to pass the bar. Most students leave STL upon graduation and the career office is not able to establish an alumni network. Despite of the great ranking this school has hardly any famous current alumni . All the great alumni are in retirement age or beyond. Wash U has hosted several presidential debates. Why? John Danford brought it to STL in 1992 since his brother was the dean at the time. Mo was at this time a swing state and therefore important. The current dean is one of the best paid chancellors in the entire US - with your tuition. I would go to a CHEAPER school in a region were you can stay, make connections and find a permanent job rather than to study three years in the middle of cornfields. Wash U is a good academic school but in the ivory tower of jurisprudence there are not many paying jobs

Nice courtyard, great school and solid program.

The school is beautiful and one of the best law schools in the country. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time so far and would definitely make the same choice again.

Go Pilar!!!!!
