Law schools around the nation are changing their grade point averages to help current law students education and possibly attract new ones as well.
Many graduate law students were having problems acquiring a job after their hard work and effort in law school because of having a slightly lower GPA than desired by employers or practices. Many believed this to be unfair, leading some law schools to not only help benefit their students, but their institution or school as well.
These law schools, including New York and Georgetown, believe it can help to increase their reputation by adding about 0.33 to the last couple of years recorded grades. This way, students who spent over $100,000 in school are given the chance to finish with more than a mediocre GPA.
These schools aren’t the ones attempting to help relieve students’ stress. Other popular and competitive law educators such as Yale and Harvard, cut out the original grading system and replaced it with a pass or fail option.

Did you ever wish you were a fly on the wall and could know what it as like to work at a company, but not really work there? I think we all have been at least a little curious to what exactly other companies do to become “what” they are. I have come across a very interesting website that will give you some “secrets” from employees and former employees on their experiences and salaries. This website is called: www.glassdoor.com.
Very interesting concept to have as a website, because I am not sure it can provide unbiased specifics about some of the world’s largest employers. Everything is done anonymously, however I am not sure this is something that you can look at an make a true judgement? It appears you must put in a review before you see all the information available. Does that mean anyone can just fill in just enough information to get access to the information they are REALLY looking to get, not give? What do you think?
The power of the internet and the information that is ultimately available, is just amazing! Consumers just need to make sure and really learn how to weed through the “real” information, and the “fake” information they read on websites. I guess we will never know what is what, but the bottom line is……..unfortunately, someone is bound to speak negative about something if they are unhappy, versus an employee that is truly happy will not write something in this sort of website.

They say someone with a bad experience will tell 10 people, but someone who had a good experience will tell ……………….??????????
