      Why does their race matter?

    • @edwink1467
      @edwink1467 5 лет назад +48

      SUB TO PEWDIEPIE Because America has historically made higher education like law school inaccessible to non-white students and especially *female non-white students.* The fact that these young women worked their asses off to get in Columbia Law is worth celebrating.

      As someone who is also a women and striving lawyer, I don’t see why race should be included. I myself am also part of this “minority” group but, I’d like to be thanked for my efforts, not because I am part of this minority group. I didn’t choose my skin color, but I did choose to strive to be a lawyer. That’s what should be appreciated.
      There are also many leading factors as to why these minority groups are scarce in law firms.

      Mohammed AlSubaie you don’t understand what it takes for a black woman or man to get there in todays society. Sadly because of the racism so many black educated people is jobless because of their skin color so saying that she made it is crazy but in a good way. It’s a way of saying how proud we are of her.

    Hi I was wondering if 1L summer interns (summer between 1L and 2L) are usually paid or unpaid? I heard 2L summer associates are well-paid!

    • @Sistersinlaw
      @Sistersinlaw  6 лет назад +1

      1Ls are usually paid the same as 2Ls, and we are all paid market. 0Ls (SEOS lol) may be paid less, but they are still well-paid.
      Most 1Ls have a public interest job between their 1L summer. At our school, they provide a stipend for those students. However, Angel and I worked in the private sector. Angel worked at a different firm, and I was in-house.

      Sara well I mean number 1. They would find it strange and probably wouldn’t trust me being a lawyer and working with law enforcement, and number 2 I don’t want to be affiliated with their criminal activity even though I love them and want to be with them I just don’t care to know what they do.

    • @Sara-ld6nh
      @Sara-ld6nh 4 года назад

      Rohid Nablayy How would the law firm even know about your partner’s criminal record? Being with your partner doesn’t mean you’re affiliated with criminal activity - if you don’t have a criminal history yourself you’ll be fine

    • @rohidnablayy6060
      @rohidnablayy6060 4 года назад

      Sara this is an example. Let’s just say my boyfriend is in the mafia. I’m lawyer/detective/police officer. My boyfriend is known to police like you see on tv they have mobsters pictures and names and what level they are in the mafia on the board of their office trying to figure out what they do (apart from the obvious) they find out I’m dating this guy would I be fired? I’m trying to give a scenario similar to Angela and James relationship in Power. Ghost (James) is a drug dealer and Angela is detective.

    • @Sara-ld6nh
      @Sara-ld6nh 4 года назад +2

      Rohid Nablayy I thought you meant that your partner had committed a crime in the past, but now fixed his ways. If your partner is still committing crimes I don’t really understand why you’d be with him if you’re a lawyer - I’m sure you’d have more than enough money. However if you still wanted to be with him and the company/law enforcement found out he was committing crimes I really doubt you could be fired or punished - not unless you were also doing illegal stuff too.
