Texas Occupations Code Section 1101 basically says, "the restrictions on listing, selling, and taking a commission on a real estate sale do not apply to licensed Texas attorneys."

Dang, DC does not seem to have that exemption, at least not except in specific situations like trusts and estates. Lawyers here definitely can't try their hand at real estate without a license as far as I can tell.

Hey everyone,

I'm a 1L whose made it just past midterms

How to fight off the crippling desire to drink myself to death

Serious question:

Is it bad that after all this time, staying caught up with the readings and assignments, I still feel like I don't know a loving thing?


After reading the OP: I go to a T3. I now feel nothing but despair. Should I just let the Property and Civpro take me into the abyss

Study your rear end off, ace your finals, and read up on the transfer process. If you aren't in the top half of your class after 1L you should probably just drop out.

I skimmed the OP: it's full of 2008-2010 era charts that predate the worst of the lawyer glut and miss out on the part where things have gotten significantly worse since then

it's really time for a new thread, hopefully one with shiny new 2016 era charts with double the debt load and schaudenfreude

thanks everyone, yes I guess I should just drink myself to death. I should've mentioned that failure or dropping out is not an option, due to social pressures beyond my control.

Straight shot, tbh. I was really nervous for my Torts midterm so I soothed my nerves.

You know I always wanted to study law, so all things considered, if my body can handle this abuse I'll be happy for like the next 30 years.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

In all seriousness: if you're taking a shot because of a midterm, you're going to wind up destroying yourself as an alcoholic if you ever practice.

Drop out, or if you don't, you need to seek substance abuse therapy NOW. It isn't going to improve.

Yeah, you're gonna have to explain this a bit more. All social pressure is "beyond [your] control" so what makes your situation particularly unique? Your parents being disappointed hardly counts. Is your dad a bigshot lawyer somewhere? One of my friends went to law school, couldn't find a job, failed the bar, and is now essentially toast. His dad is also a partner at a firm--how do you think his dad feels now?

Also, failure is definitely an option, whether or not you want it to be. In fact if you're already drinking in the morning I'd say failure is almost guaranteed.

You're so loving stupid you don't even know it. You are drinking before tests to calm your nerves. This is the worst loving profession and anyone who reads any part of this thread and continued to be in law school deserves to be a miserable alcoholic poo poo.

The only successful person in this thread is Adar, who parlayed poker and wizard poker into not being a lawyer.
