    @lakewat, CCNY, SUNY, Fordham, Pace will all take Yeshiva credits, most will require you to take a basic math and english test before allowing a transfer

    I think the the employer have relaxed the standards somewhat, but to get somewhere you need a genuine BA/BS for the most part, these days fairly easy to obtain with remote learning and all.

    @RW “Most Jews arent Israeli and speak primarily the language of the land or Yiddish if they come from Ashkenaz roots.”

    @Iamhappy, first of all welcome to the CR,

    Having worked most of my life in coperate america, I can tell you a BTL is worth almost nothing, to be taken as a serious candidate you need a BA/BS from a real school not Belluve College, Thomas Edison etc.

    Second, the BTL and a great LSAT score will only open doors in a lower or mid range school like NY or Brooklyn Law, Hofstra, Pace etc, it wont open doors to any ivy league places

    Third, the good intership are very hard to come by, unless your ethnic is unrepresented in the firm good luck in landing one.

    Fourth, other then bypassing the Law Schools requirement of a BA or for use in the special needs population mid level staffing, I dont know what useful purpose it serves.

    Just some personal memories, the day of levaya in spite of the chasidim being shattered they went around for the hours before the levaya to make sure the people had to eat and drink on that hot day.

    when you consider that 66% of the people in the so called yeshivisher velt [even the MO crowd] actualy are desendants of Polisher and Hungairians it is no big deal, they just went back to the grandparents minhag.
    In fact Rabbi Norman Lamm zl, the Steipler ZTL and Rav Shustal ZTL all decend from chasidish stock.

    The conspect of the RY being the yeshivisher equivlent to a chasidisher rebbe is a new conspect, like the past 30/40 years, prior to that people didnt travel to them in drove, they didnt take kivlach, they once asked a rosh yeshiva about a medical procedure and he answered gaay fraig ah doctor, they certainly didnt feer tish or cut hair of a three year old.
