USS BP tells you why going to law school is a terrible idea Forum

[IAFG]

LOL because I'm curious are there any GOOD reasons to go to law school? Clearly bottles and models is the closest.

If you have the strange desire to gain 30 pounds, become pale and out of shape, develop a sleep disorder, become an emotionally fragile shell of your former self, take pleasure in nothing other than downing booze, fantasize about killing opposing counsel via obscure forms of torture for filing 17 frivolous motions on a totally horseshit case just so he can bill hours, deal with court systems where the dockets are so clogged that it takes 9 years just to make it to hearing/trial, and make barely enough money to have your own apartment in the ghetto and not enough to pay off the interest accruing on your loans, and have your only chance of sex being other fat, divorced, middle-aged drunk people you hook up with at Bar Louie or Craigslist, law school is right for you.

You get to file motions?!

Yes. Prestigious motions, such as Respondent's Reply to Complainant's Response to Respondent's Motion to Oppose Frivolous Discovery Request #14. Filed in Administrative Law Shitcourt where damages are a couple hundred dollars, but the attorneys are trying to claim $50,000 in attorneys fees because this is year #12 of said case.

Hey, perhaps I should humble myself. The real work was done by whoever was here before me. Someone must have worked hard enough on this case to produce enough paper to fill an entire two-yard-long industrial-sized file drawer to the brim...before they fled to a foreign country to escape their debt/jumped out the office window/went back to the same job they had before law school.

I'll have you know I spent all day working on the 22nd Motion to Enlarge Time to Remove. I had to change MANY dates in our 21st Motion.

I spent all day translating a handwritten motion from pidgin French to English. Big law sounds fun in comparison.

Could you settle for VEEP? If so, I heard you should go to Syracuse. Just work hard and everything will be okay.

Just spent 30 minutes trying to talk some kid out of going to law school. Can I punch a stranger in the face tonight without fear of bad karma?
