Out of curiosity how many of you are speaking from experience (are lawyers or in law school), and how many you are just saying what you expect/heard?
Anyways as someone who is currently in law school and has been through the admissions process, I would first of all like to say that if anything you have a slight advantage because of your analysis skills (and this was told to me by a frum professor), and you should not worry about any lack of writing skills because the style of writing that is taught in undergrad is much, much different from what is required in a legal setting. You need not use fancy words,rather that is discouraged. You’ll be starting off from scratch but so will everyone else. In fact, you may have an advantage in this area as well, because a big part of legal writing is to eliminate unnecessary words, just like Gemara’s “writing style.” Furthermore, in a lot of schools, Legal Writing is a pass/fail course which won’t effect your GPA, (assuming you’ll pass and you will).
Be happy that you didn’t go to a “real” college because a lot of your classmates will be going in with a ton of debt, while you got to learn and still end up in the same place.
I can also assure you that what anyone heard about Fordham not accepting BTLs is not true.
I also don’t know what you are talking about as to what the focus in gemara is. The emphasis isn’t on knowing the exact Halacha, otherwise we would just be learning Mishna Berura.
As for the “biglaw” jobs, do you really want to be working 14 hour days including Sundays? Sure you get a nice paycheck, but I personally don’t think it’s worth it. Furthermore, we all believe in the Ribbono Shel Olam and should realize this is all Hishtadlus, and if Hashem wants you to get such a job, he will make sure you get it, whether you went to Harvard or Touro Law School.
