Re: Taking time off after law school
Fair, but earlier in this thread people were claiming that there wouldn't be time to take a vacation between the end of LS and beginning legal work, which is pretty close to the opposite of true. "Taking time off" was definitely the wrong way to phrase it on my part though.Renzo wrote:I don't equate a 2 week vacation with "taking time off."vanwinkle wrote:Honestly, I hadn't.
