Would u hire a new HLS grad with two "LP's" as a 1st year?

How bad is that...especially if one was in legal writing?

You're going to have to give more info. Depends on what position, what the alternatives are, what other credentials they have, etc. Sure, there are circumstances where the answer is "yes" and some where the answer is "no".

We are hiring a junior transactional associate. Alternative is probably a non-HLS grad, probably t14, with average grades....we aren't getting the best of the best.

Went to a top-Ivy undergrad and I assume did pretty well....although it looks like they are a URM based on what I can tell from their resume, so maybe they didn't do that well.

A LP indicates poor work ethic so why would I want to hire someone with a poor work ethic? All HLS says about a person is that they scored high on a 3 hour exam and had at least a 3.6 GPA in college (which could be in communications from Bareback Anal State University for all I know).

I'd opt for the student from a lower ranked school that is more willing to grind.

Really depended on the quality of his stuff and what we were looking for at the time. Timing will determine whether he gets his break. Two LPs in a year is actually really impressive for a law student and I would definitely think about the different angles to pitch him to my label and market the act to the general population. A few elite attorneys have successfully made the transition but at the end of the day it comes down to timing and talent.

I wouldnt worry so much about the school ranking. I've seen top quartile T100 students dominate HYS kids in the courtroom. The only thing HYS shows is that you were willing to take out substantial loans or have rich parents.
