In today’s economic environment, law school graduates are finding it increasingly difficult to find jobs post-J.D. Even students who graduated from top-20 schools with impressive academic records are finding the job search to be a challenge; graduates from second and third-tier programs are finding the endeavor nearly impossible, often being forced to accept temporary positions or roles in smaller firms – a far cry from the careers the graduates assumed they would be free to pursue after completing three years of law school.
In a recent article, law professor Brian Tamanaha called his peer – fellow law professors – to action, expressing his opinion that professors are playing a role in the troubles law graduates are facing. According to his article, law . . . → Continue Reading

Yale Law School, like Stanford and Harvard, provides an admissions blog that discusses a range of topics – various categories of topics discussed include, “Applying,” “Bad Ideas” and “Student Life.” The blog – entitled the (203) Admissions Blog – is a great resource for students considering applying to Yale, as the various posts provide an insider’s look at different aspects of the admissions process, Yale curriculum and student life. It’s also just as good a resource for students . . . → Continue Reading

Finishing our glimpse into the first set of the new Clear Admit Law School Guides, we are excited to discuss our Yale Law School Guide!
As with our other guides, the YLS edition provides comprehensive information on the renowned school and in-depth research into the many ways in which YLS differs from other leading programs, such as the curriculum’s subtle emphasis on preparing students for careers in law teaching and scholarship. Yale’s Writing Requirement is a manifestation of this feature, and we begin to demonstrate how the written work requirement at Yale differs from those at other schools thus:
“Despite the near-ubiquity of this requirement among U.S. law . . . → Continue Reading

In the fourth installment of this series examining our new Clear Admit Law School Guides, we are pleased to offer a glimpse of our New York University School of Law Guide!
The NYU guide contains in-depth information about NYU’s J.D. and graduate programs, and also compares the school to other leading programs.

After months of comprehensive research, we are happy to announce the release of an exciting new resource for prospective law school applicants: Clear Admit Law School Guides! The guides are available for immediate download in the Clear Admit shop.
We here at Clear Admit believe that success in the law school admissions process starts with identifying programs that are a good fit with one’s academic and career interests. Too many applicants skip this step, instead targeting schools that aren’t right for them or underestimating the importance of demonstrating in their application how they could best contribute to each school’s class. At a time when leading law schools select their incoming classes from among thousands of applications, and . . . → Continue Reading
