As a 3L about to graduate from NYLS, I couldn't be happier that this case is finally dismissed.
Law school is an opportunity to obtain an education, not a job guarantee. The alums who brought this suit don't seem to understand that concept. The school owes you a duty to provide an excellent education - not guarantee a job offer.
The truth is the legal market is saturated at the moment, and especially in NY state. If you want a guaranteed job, take the Wisconsin or Nebraska bar. But everyone wants to live in the NY-metro area, so if you make a decision to do that you're going to have to live with increased competition.
Hopefully the job market rebounds. Any of the experienced attorneys on here think that's going to happen? Because I'm not too optimistic. But I also knew what I was getting into when I decided to pursue a law degree.

Graduated from St. John's in 2010, passed the bar the first time, licensed in May 2011. Took me a year and half (Nov. 2011) to get a job (found some small legal jobs here and there in between). Got my job through a friend. The market is still very tough right now but I definitely feel that there are more postings this year than there were this time last year. Get experience where you can. The state Bar does a Bridge the Gap CLE that is free and would give you great experience. They require you to do 50 pro bono hours but I think that's not a bad way to get experience (and get your CLE out of the way) if you don't get a job right away.
Still can't figure out why St. John's doesn't have a College of Nursing
Scarcest health care personnel have been OT;s and PT's (occupational and physical therapists) and with boomers aging demand to assist them in retaining function will be ever more critical resource.

Don't they typically like to be affiliated with a hospital? Seems like that Mt Sinai-Queens right up the block would be a natural partner.
I think I read recently that Hofstra is starting a medical/nursing school affiliated with North Shore/LiJ.
