Hmmmm, so Above the Law recently reported a bit on the Virginia 3Ls who were protesting their unemployment by wearing shirts intended to scare off 0L's from attending UVA.
First thought: UVA 3L's are certainly justified in expressing how they feel.
Second thought: Hearing from disgruntled students isn't all bad for a 0L.
When I visited schools last year, I remember one school where a 3L, who was obviously not part of the group of volunteers that guide 0L's around, was rather bitter and cynical about the whole law school thing. I ended up attending that school. I'm not going to say that it's a good thing to have your 3L's badmouth your school (it's not), but schools go really far to shower you with all of their good aspects and none of the bad. Or if they do tell you bad things, they're minor and inconsequential. It was actually useful to hear some dissenting opinions, if you will. From two extremes you can get a better sense of the actual picture!
I volunteered for my schools admitted student activities and I mean, yeah, I glossed over some things. The more opinions you can get, the better.
'course, my disgruntled fellow didn't go so far as to make t-shirts.
