Top Law Schools

Anyways, anyone here thought about how different life will be when you head back home to see old friends, family, etc. and finally get to use your lawyerly (yes, I turned a noun into an adverb like every other legal paper I have read) brain amongst non lawyerly brains?


Personally, I think it will be very interesting to see how far I have come.

I kinda hope he winds up being this guy and one of his friends bloodies his nose at a bar; so that he can provide his "expert" legal analysis of the liability of all parties concerned, the distinction of assault and battery, the possibility of a claim under thr dram shop act.. It will be a torts/crim law bonanza!

Thanks man... I'm here all week.. Try the veal..

GoodToBeTheKing wrote:wow, thanks for taking my post completely out of context. All I said is I have greatly changed how I now think, have been immersed by only law students, profs, casebooks, etc. and no one outside of law, and that it will be interesting to talk to other non law students.

I obviously did not mean that I am a lawyer or have all lawyer skills, and you obviously all know that too considering how all of you have taken my post out of context. No, wait, you didn't.

And, don't try and undercut who I am because of my LSAT and GPA.


I really thought some people would be excited to talk to their friends about political issues, economics, and other related things such as that. I guess you don't talk about those things outside of law school, or you don't think you are better prepared to talk about such things as you may have been before law school started.

Thanks for the advice guys, especially you RP. You, RP are a pear among men.

I think I'll go enjoy my vacation and try to forget about law as an exercise on how to live a normal life as a lawyer.

Holy horse shit op I just looked at your profile... 159 and 2.9? If that's true, and assuming that you are not a recent slave that was actually set free (not just a minority, an actual slave that was set free); you're almost certainly attending some manner of TTT, be it a T2 or a TTT or some other fake T1.

That said, I'd ease up on showing off your lawyerly brain to the proletariat (i.e. your non-lawyer friends), until after you find out whether or not you finish in the top 2 people in your class. Otherwise that lawyerly brain of yours, along with the rest of your body, might need a couch to sleep on and some cold noodles to eat when you graduate with no job. I'd be nice to the peasants if I were you man.. You’re going to need their fucking couch one day..

FWIW, having passed a few bar exams and having had the opportunity to do this lawyer stuff for a while, I assure you that if you were not a huge self-absorbed asswipe prior to law school, you should have no problems communicating with your non-lawyer friends.
