Tuition: California residents attending this trash heap, on a full-time basis, will be charged $49,564 in tuition - for the 2012-2013 school year. Out-of-state, full-time law students at UC Davi$ will be pounded in the ass, to the tune of $58,815 in tuition - for 2012-2013. Who says that public law schools offer affordable rates?!
Estimated, Total Cost of Attendance: According to this same document, living expenses, i.e. housing, food, and personal costs, amount to an additional $14,336. Transportation is listed as $1,682,while books and supplies are estimated at $1,014. For in-state, full-time students, the total figure is $66,596.
However, ABA-accredited garbage heaps base these costs off of a nine-month academic year. Since actual law students will require living expenses over twelve months, I will prorate the indirect costs. Doing so, we reach a more accurate, estimated COA of $71,935 for in-state, full-time law students at this school - for the current year.
Make sure that you are sitting down, before reading further. If you have a weak heart, then skip over to the next section of this profile. Under the worst-case scenario, i.e. full-time enrollment as an non-resident, the total, estimated cost of attendance - for 2012-2013 - total COA for the current year will hit $81,186. What a great milestone, huh?!?!

Ranking: At these prices, you would expect this to be a truly elite “institution of higher learning.” Pussy Bob Morse and US “News” & World Report rate Univer$ity of California Davi$ Sewer of Law as the 29th most sensational and terrific law school in the entire nation.The commode shares this distinction with four other schools.If you think that your future is set up nicely, simply by attending this overpriced entity, then you are sorely mistaken.
[UPDATE: The newest version of the USN&WR rankings was issued today. This commode is now ranked as the 38th greatest and most amazing law school in the country. How is that for progress?]

Employment Placement Statistics: Take a look at the toilet’s Class of 2011 Employment Report, for this information. Based off of this chart, 177 out of 190 graduates, for whom employment status was known, were working within nine months of graduation. This equates to a “placement” rate of 93.16 percent, for this particular class.
By the way, of the 141 jobs where bar passage was required, 18 positions were part-time. In fact, 17 of those 18 jobs were also listed as short-term.Hell, 13 of the 123 full-time, legal positions were reported to be short-term. What a thriving job industry, huh?!?!
In addition, 19 members of the University of California Davis Sewer of Law Class of 2011 were placed in university-funded positions! Yes, the commode hired a full ten percent of its class! For $ome rea$on, these jobs are not broken down into full-time, part-time, long term or short term status. Do you still want to defend this scam industry, lemming?!

Average Law Student Indebtedness:USN&WR lists the average law student indebtedness - for those members of the UC Davis JD Class of 2011 who incurred debt for law school - as $100,517. Furthermore, 86 percent of this commode’s unfortunate 2011 class took on such foul debt. Keep in mind that this figure does not include undergraduate debt. It also does not take accrued interest into account.
Academic Journal Tripe:
http://jjlp.law.ucdavis.edu/
As a student at this public dump site, you will have the unique opportunity to write onto the world-famous Journal of Juvenile Law & Policy. Check out this silly description:
“The Journal of Juvenile Law & Policy is a biannual publication of the UC Davis School of Law that addresses the unique concerns of children in the American legal system.
Initially a product of the creativity and activism of a small group of King Hall students, called the Advocates for the Rights of Children (ARC), the Journal has evolved into a vigorous organization committed to providing practical and timely information about current juvenile, family and educational law issues. The goal of the Journal is to provide a forum for discussion and to encourage community awareness and involvement in issues that affect children.”
Yes, with that academic journal “experience” under your belt, legal employers are certain to fight over you, right?!?! Don’t tell anyone that you managed to become a notes editor on this publicaTTTion, if you don’t want beautiful women running each other down with their cars - in order to gain your attention.
California’s Legendary Attorney Glut:
http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/27/the-lawyer-surplus-state-by-state/
On June 27, 2011, Catherine Rampell posted a piece in the New York Times Economix blog, under the headline “The Lawyer Surplus, State by State.” Her piece relied on data produced by Economic Modeling Specialists, Inc. Check out these numbers, for California: estimated, annual openings from 2010-2015 stand at 3,307. However, 6,258 people passed the bar exam in 2009, which represents a SURPLUS of 2,951 lawyers. I know that “law professors” love to claim that lawyers are worthless at math. However, you must be mentally deficient - if you fail to grasp the gravity of the situation.
Conclusion: If you attend and graduate from this GROSSLY OVERPRICED, public toilet, you will likely end up incurring an additional $110K-$155K in NON-DISCHARGEABLE debt. In case you want to remain in California, keep in mind that the state is THE SECOND MOST GLUTTED LAWYER JOB MARKET, in the entire country. In the end, you need to look at law school strictly as a financial decision. You simply do not need to ruin your financial future, in order to contribute to the inflated salaries of the “professors” and deans.
