That's like saying you'd like being homeless because you like camping.

TBF that's because you'd just go home and have to be a mom.

I've said it before, there are like 15 things that are awful about biglaw. Some of them might not bother you, but at least one will.

It's also fairly predictable hours. You are studying 90 hours for a set period of time. It will end and you will go back to normal; plus, you have that winter break coming.

They should make law school more like big law, to get people ready. The coursework would just be 21 credits of LRW, with assignments due twice a week. You'd have four different LRW professors, each of which disagreed with the others and with himself/herself from week to week. Your LRW partner would always be the most high-strung, persnickety person on Law Review. Grades would be on a scale of No Credit/Fail.

Stereotypes about native americans being too lazy and drunk to work have no place on TLS.

Sorry I interrupted your quality posting about when your Penn 2017 admissions portfolio got shipped out.

It doesn't really matter if he/she is only posting 0.14 times per day, as opposed to the 15 shitposts per day we have to endure from you.

I mean, I don't mean to pick on the guy, but these threads are just so lazy and useless. DF is a knowledgeable poster who could potentially offer a lot to this forum, but instead he posts shit like this. It's a waste. Maybe I'm naive, but I just feel like the community here could be so much better -- more thoughtful, more welcoming, less snarky. I don't know, it just frustrates me.

Perhaps others, but certainly not me.

I mean, he's right. It is a dumb idea.

Well you correctly point out I'm being purposely trollish. However, 0Ls aren't going to go looking for advice about their dumb beliefs.

I could either duke it out with some retard who says that 40 hours isn't all that different from 60, or I could start a thread to rub 0L's nose in their stupid opinions.

I am being purposefully insulting but the audience needs it

DF: TLS Law School Boot Camp Drill Sergeant

He's doing it for your own good.

ETA: Personally, I find DF threads amusing, and somebody should right a spell-check app that autocorrects to DF form.

Easier to post on TLS during a quiet moment at work than, say, go scuba diving or whip up a gourmet meal.
