As a lawyer/law student, do you get into more physical and verbal fights in your personal life than you did before you started studying law?

Not sure why it would happen, but I was considering the following problems:kwais wrote:why would that happen?
1. Models + Bottles
2. Jealousy
3. Douchebaggary (encompasses drugs)
4. Random contempt for lawyers
5. Confidence in your knowledge of the law coupled with your possible enjoyment of conflict.

lawyers tend to kill themselves, not others. not sure if that counts.

As a prospective lawyer, i'm becoming less prone to letting people piss me off enough to cause anything remotely close to being deemed a 'violent' altercation. I wouldn't want to go through law school only to fail c&f. Can't imagine anyone not feeling the same way. Thus, i doubt lawyers, with their careers on the line, would be more 'violent' than anyone else unless they are suffering from other problems that lead to them being hot heads.

C&F is clutch. Having something to loose is why people are civilized.

On average lawyers are either pudgy/out of shape/skinny nerds...what increased physical aggression might be there is subsumed by those factors.
As the vast majority of TLS posters indicate, law attracts overconfident/neurotic types...so we're generally asshats.

Well, if we're ass hats AND out of shape, that suggests we a) run our mouths off and b) being out of shape, invite people to fight us (as they'll feel they're likely to win and therefore more inclined to try).homestyle28 wrote:On average lawyers are either pudgy/out of shape/skinny nerds...what increased physical aggression might be there is subsumed by those factors.

Haven't been in a "fight" since Jr High. Mostly because I know I can kill you with my pinky and I take that very seriously.
