Law Students

: Fight The Hypo

Best Party Ever.

By Dr. Bombay

ADVERTISEMENTS

Mrs. Bombay and I were at a cocktail party yesterday for a dear friend of ours who was just named to the directorship of high powered organization here in town. While there, I met his daughter, who is going to be matriculating at the University of Arizona?s James E. Rodgers College of Law to study Native American law. The entire Hypo Staff wishes her the best on her journey.

The conversation obviously swerved towards the first year experience, and some of the same consideration we?ve voiced here. Specifically, about the cost of attendance, and how law school debt can force you to make career choices that you might otherwise avoid. She said she selected Arizona not only because of its preeminence in the field of Native American and indigenous people?s law, but also because the cost was such that she didn?t have to worry about the debt affecting her career choices.

At this point, I will paraphrase the conversation:

Me: You know, I?ve done a little research on this topic for a blog I write, and I don?t think it?s going to be a long term problem. The number of American law school graduates really hasn?t changed since the ?70?s, and once the baby boomers start retiring, a lot of space is going to be opened up in the profession.

Her: Interesting. What?s the name of you blog?

Me: It?s called Fight the Hypo.Com. Some friends of mine from school started it to talk about the issues facing evening law students.

Her: Oh, I?ve heard of that.

Me: Really?

Her: Yeah, I work for a law firm and the paralegals in my office are always looking around the web for sites that have useful information, and I know I?ve heard that information.

Me: That?s great. Thanks.

Meanwhile, in my head, I was trying to keep from dancing around and running outside to call the Sherpa. To all of our loyal readers, we thank you for your continued support and look forward to you continuing along with us on our long, strange trip.
