Date: September 4th, 2010 1:58 AM Author: Flushed curious headpube mexican that's because there is less room for error and waste in midlaw and small law. employers love AA when they extra resources to throw around, but most of them secretly know that black employees are much less intelligent and productive on average. that's the reason blacks are getting screwed ITE (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1414063&forum_id=2#15961822) |

Date: September 4th, 2010 2:01 AM Author: Iridescent stimulating stage I'm almost certain that blacks from T14 schools are more intelligent and more capable than your average white guy from schools like NYLS, Pace, Hofstra, Loyola and even places like Cardozo, BLS, and St. Johns.
Also, blacks from HYS almost always have a 3.5+/165+, yet I don't see them in smalllaw or midlaw. |
|
Date: September 4th, 2010 2:03 AM Author: Flushed curious headpube mexican i doubt that the average black at a top 14 school is smarter than the average bls, cardozo, or st. johns student. a 165 will get you into hys as an URM, so the rest of the top 14 is left with very slim pickings. it doesn't matter though-firms can easily hire one of the smart white top 14 grads or some dude from the top of the class at a TTT. no reason to pick between two shitty options.

Are you dumb? Biglawyers may be clever, but you don't need to be clever to be a biglawyer, it's just an artificial obstruction to limit the supply of attorneys. It's not working all that well either, they're still oversupplied.
Fact of the matter, 'g' is an arbitrary restriction (like it is in most fields barring theoretical physics) on a field that could be performed adequately by an orangutan with a copy of a Nolo book and a suit.
How does being "clever" aid you in document review? Seriously, please explain. |
|
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:13 AM Author: Flushed curious headpube mexican I'm not a lawyer.
You do a better job when you are clever. Only an idiot would deny this. Also, many blacks are basically incompetent .
It isn't arbitrary. You are a moron if you think that it is.
You are not a lawyer, and you obviously know very little about what biglawyers actually do. You are an ignorant moron or you are flame. |

Date: September 4th, 2010 11:17 AM Author: aquamarine resort mental disorder "You do a better job when you are clever."
LOL, if only. Doing a good job is mostly about showing up and working hard. Most complex activities can be broken down into a series of discrete steps that a 12 year old could follow. Smart people can be lazy. Some are.
There are exceptions in IP/patent law and other things that involve subject area knowledge, but law is mostly accounting with bigger egos and less job security. |

Date: September 4th, 2010 11:12 AM Author: Iridescent stimulating stage The average black biglaw attorney doesn't have an IQ comparable to the average black person or even the average white/Asian.

|
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:14 AM Author: aquamarine resort mental disorder The IQ gap between races is real. However, it's doubtful it has any meaningful impact. You need an IQ of maybe 100 to adequately perform all law tasks.
Really, what 'g' loaded skills are there in the first few years of BigLaw? I'd really like to know. |

|
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:15 AM Author: Flushed curious headpube mexican No, I'm not. Because the average IQ is lower there are fewer blacks with really high IQs, and people with high IQs are the ones who do well in biglaw and other prestigious profession. That's why a pathetic 165 gets black kids into HLS. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1414063&forum_id=2#15962783) |
|
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:17 AM Author: Iridescent stimulating stage You don't need more than an IQ of 110 or so to perform most legal tasks. A black kid that scores 165 on the LSAT almost certainly has an IQ of 125+ and is therefore more than capable of performing most legal tasks.

Date: September 4th, 2010 11:19 AM Author: Flushed curious headpube mexican 1. non-responsive
2. this isn't just an issue of "performance". biglaw kids are competing against each other for good jobs, and if you are a prestigious employer you want smart people working for you.
3. your assertion is wrong. you need a much higher iq than that to do biglaw tasks *well*, which is the real issue here. i guess some retard from the university of alabama knows how to write a brief or whatever. his briefs just suck. |
|
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:23 AM Author: aquamarine resort mental disorder "and if you are a prestigious employer you want smart people working for you. "
LOL. It's profit-motive, not "smart people that make us look prestigious". GPA is used as a proxy for work ethic, not intelligence. That's why no one asks your LSAT, which is 'g' loaded rather than your GPA which clearly isn't.
Your "argument", dismantled. Get raped.
|
|
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:25 AM Author: Flushed curious headpube mexican I didn't say they wanted smart people to make them look prestigious. They want smart people because smart people are better workers and because when you can choose between a stupid candidate and a smart candidate it is likely that you will pick the smart candidate. That's why people tend not to hire as many blacks when they have no resources to waste- they know blacks are less intelligent on average, and choose not to hire them.
