I went to a party last night where two sophmores got really excited when I mentioned I was a law student. They indicated that they wanted to go to law school and started crowding really close to me. Before long they were fawning over me, touching me - laughing at jokes that weren't funny. I had both of them in the palm of my hand. I tried to give them the spiel about how you shouldn't go to law school but all that I could see in their eyes was lust, for the prestige, for the 'big money,' for me. I could have taken them right there at the party and neither one of them would have objected. Yeah, you could say that law school was a good investment  They were both dudes, dating each other

I'll get it out the way and say I've always dreamed of winding up working 100 hours a week, having my wife leave me and living the glorious lovely life of a lawyer. Go to a T3 or T4 with a scholarship. If you work hard you'll be able to transfer to a T14/T1. I know plenty of people who have done it, it's really no big deal.

BigHead posted:UMN Chat: Out newly super conservative Governor Pawlenty (who used to be intelligent until he wanted to be President) convinced his good friend Mr. Chief Justice of the MN Supreme Court to step down, at which point Pawlenty appointed his Whore of the Supreme Court to Chief Justice (she's a Whore because it has taker her literally less than a year to go from Assistant County Prosecutor --> County Attorney --> District Judge --> SCOMN --> CJ of SCOMN). As soon as she was appointed, Pawlenty somehow managed to nominate the loving UMN Professor Stras, who is about as dumb as a loving doornail and proudly clerked for loving Thomas to SCOMN. I would be more sympathetic if your state hadn't shat out one of our Supreme Court Justices who cannot understand the concept of due process (instead referring to it as 'loopholes.'

I feel like Yog Sothoth is the goto for law exams, but Nyalothotep probably personally crafted my state's criminal code so I figure his aid would be the most useful.

Civil posted:I read the whole set of the OPs, and god drat, I wish my wife would have seen this years ago. I met her during her last year of law school, and even 2 years after her graduation, we are sitting on a massive pile of her school debt. On top of that, she realized that jobs in the legal field paid so low that she ended up getting work as a business consultant (no law degree required) and is making 2x as much as she would have as a lawyer. On the plus side, now your wife can think like a lawyer - who can put a price on a valuable skill like that?

Day 1 of internship: Apparently our entire class got summer work because our agency didn't want to pay for real lawyers. I am unsure whether to hate myself for undercutting graduating 3Ls (by working for free) or just be grateful that I'm replacing a real lawyer and get to handle a real lawyer's work. Now how the gently caress do I write this motion for summary judgment? I don't even know my state's rules of civil procedure.

TyChan posted:What kind of practice would just let an intern write a SJ motion? Wisconsin Department of Justice. That said, I got hired because my writing sample was good and a summary judgment motion, and the motion I'm putting together is largely copy-pasting from previous briefs put together by my supervisor. Additionally, the case is pretty much open and shut. Honestly, my only real issue is that I've never learned the Wisconsin Rules of Civil Procedure and I have no idea what local rules this court is using. WDOJ depressing anecdote of the day: we have a 2L from Michigan working the same job as me. We are not getting paid. No one will get hired based upon their performance at this job. The worst part is that he seems to be a fairly nice guy.

Does a larger diversity of specializations/interests occur in the last year that allows you to study those things a little more closely? There are no jobs in those areas.

The idea of spending most of my time learning in deep detail the facts of law and methods of interpretation/use doesn't bother me, if that's worth anything. I got an undergrad in this stuff. The only people with jobs in philosophy of law/sociology of law/the sort of thing you care about are people with Phds. It's a fun subject of study, it's just that a JD is really peripheral. Only a couple of my professors had one and ALL of my professors had a doctorate.
