And really, law school isn't that special, expecially at lsu. Were not talking about Harvard here. Nobody's constructing major bridges that will carry passengers over a major waterway for the next 50+ years. Nobody's over there doing post-stack migration or AVO analysis of seismic data in order better image sub-salt hydrocarbon traps in the deepwater GOM, like some of the oilfield trash in lafayette and houston do. I've known my share of graduates from that place, and they'll admit, its not that hard. Of course they amp it up at first to ween some of 'em out just to let them know if they'll like it or not, then its just waiting until graduation. Apparently, anyone with half a brain, can go in hang out and party or do whatever through the first couple semesters, then buckle down the last couple weeks for finals, and then off the Christmas break. Anyone who can succeed in reading comprehension can get a law degree. Obviously, it doesn't take much arguing skills to be an atty, because you have none. When your opposing atty says your client's attempt at extortion, i mean, accident, was his own fault, what do you reply with? "Nuh Uh" or "UL sucks" You've got the debating skills of a 13 year old teenage girl.
And it doesn't suprise me that an engineer "flunked" out. Some of those guys are super smart, but good engineers will seldom have the type of brain to succeed as an attorney. Trust me, I work with a ton of them, they would be lost without their calculators.
And its obvious that this ambulance chaser lives in Baton Rouge. with all of those chemical plants, and refineries, and whatever other polluters they have there...there is much more of an oppurtunity for him to turn some guy's slipping on the floor into extorting money from a company. And with that disgusting air quality, He's probably just waiting on the next class action to come through.
