      At @myth000. Let's be categorically clear. Literally everyone reading your assertion that you have the right to declare the framework of this discussion, as well as the legitimate participants in this discussion, thinks you are a clown. This discussion is continuing because of you and it is continuing about you but literally no one is continuing this discussion with you. Just FYI.

      Amazing what can change in an hour.

      DipBlockedHandsBaron has been written off.  But let's be clear: the primary burden of proof here lies with those who made the initial generalization about law students being categorically unprofitable. I don't have an obligation to prove the opposite simply because I questioned that unsubstantiated assertion.  Providing some evidence for my argument would certainly bolster my case and make it more persuasive. But it's supplementary to the core burden of proof, which remains with the initial claimants.
    • Diplock
      I still haven't got beyond "prove with numbers and evidence that the value of work actually performed matters, rather than the ability to issue a bill demanding payment for it." I'm amazed anyone else is willing to continue to engage beyond that point. But to those that want to, have at it.
    • CleanHands
      You are also making generalized assertions about the value of law students as employees though. I know you're just going to write me off as one of the regulars here who always agrees with all of the other regulars, but I actually don't purport to know anything about the economics of law student value to firms either way (I have almost no private sector experience in law). I just don't understand how there would be a burden on only one specific party here in the face of two competing assertions.
    • myth000
      The people making the generalization about students are the ones with the burden of proof, not me. You should know the basic rules of evidence. When arguing in their own defense, sworn affidavits by lawyers with facts baldly stated won't be given credence by an actual judge unless there are attachments containing accounting evidence. There is something very off about this forum. It doesn't have many reasonable people, or maybe it's just the regulars such as yourself that are the problem.
