| Book Chat - Book of Law School Lists | |
|
New Book at Career Services Literally a book of lists, this book contains information collected by the editors from a survey administered to ABA accredited law schools on an annual basis. Specifically a reference book, it is a good place to begin to get some of your questions answered about various nationally accredited law programs. Beginning with “Law School Academic Programs,” lists include such items as: Special Degree programs, Dual Degree Programs, Law Schools Offering a Summer or Semester of Study Abroad or an exchange program, Law schools offering evening division classes, Law schools offering summer programs, and others. The final section is titled “Additional Useful Information.” Want to know what schools do with multiple LSAT Scores? Law School Attrition Rates? Admission and support data? Bar Passage Rates? How about FAQ’s on application processes, early action/early decision questions, wait listing 101? All of these questions and more are addressed in list and table formats making it easy to compare schools and help you narrow your search for the law school program for you. Come in today and peruse this important book yourself. |

| Career Tips - Foreign Service & More! | |
|
Want a Job as a
Foreign Service Officer? A new recruitment strategy has been unveiled by the U.S. State Department, a faster recruitment process! Throughout the years a Foreign Service job was as hard to get as a job with Google. With an average wait time of appointment of a year, many top candidates just gave up on the whole process, enter the "Total Candidate Approach." Candidates will have a shorter examination, which will not be used to rule out candidates, and will be evaluated not only on their resume but team building skills and personality. The U.S. State Department hopes that this new process will reduce the wait time of appointment to 6 months instead of one year. Source: Ferguson. "Foreign Service Proposes Different Recruitment Procedures." Career Opportunities News. September 2007: 5. Having a Cocktail at Work? According to the Wall Street Journal, 70% of Human Resources Professionals say that it is ok to have an alcoholic drink at a Holiday party. But only 4% say that it is ok in a job interview! Source: Ferguson. "Career Briefs." Career Opportunities News. September 2007: 16. Want to be in the Entertainment Industry? According to the Screen Actors Guild, members receive $126 per day for a non-speaking spot on a TV show. But, if they speak just one line, their pay raises to a whopping $713 per day. Source: Ferguson. "Career Briefs." Career Opportunities News. September 2007: 16. Have Aspirations to be a Lawyer? The passing rate for the some 85,000 law school graduates in the United States is only 67%, according to the New York Times.
