Higher ed guy, if you think there's some tangible benefit to a JD and it doesn't cost you anything, ok. But I would like to emphasize that law school is really intellectually unsatisfying, and I say that as a big old nerd. I like being a lawyer and I think there are probably things about law -- both as a matter of formal theory and as a system that operates in society -- that could be very interesting, but law school isn't about that. It is somehow neither sufficiently academic to be thought-provoking, nor practical enough to teach you skills.

Hot Dog Day #91 posted:We went to very different kinds of law schools. ^How I feel reading some of these posts. Maybe I could have skated by showing up for class and cramming for exams but I'm skeptical. I made mostly A's but I probably spent an hour reading for each class meeting and closer to 2 hours per class for corporate/p-ship tax and for secured transactions. I didn't take any of the gunner litigation "I wanna clerk for RBG!" classes like con law II, federal courts, or admin law but I bet I would have spent a couple hours preparing for each class if I did. I found the transactional law classes pretty intellectually stimulating. I did not find anything 1L stimulating. Tax law and other reg heavy classes kind of reminded me of the table top role playing games I played in middle school and high school, I think that's the appeal for me. Thanks for reading my idiosyncratic review of law school. I'm a strange guy and it remains to be seen how I will actually like being a lawyer.

Law school was terrible only because it was filled with law students who terrible at being human beings. All the law school parties I went to were like college parties if everyone was replaced with that one pompous Type A guy who was always saying "hey ladies I'm so smart I'm going to be totally rich some day OH MY GOD WAS THAT A SIREN OUTSIDE I CAN'T GO TO JAIIIIL.

Once I realized I wasn't going to be in the top 10% (after 1st semester 1L grades came out), I stopped giving a gently caress and it was great. Also, the minute I could I basically just took bullshit "liberal arts and the law" and crim law classes the moment I could. If the class had a paper or presentation instead of an exam, I was there. poo poo, I even got good grades then. gently caress giant lectures with exams. My 3L year, I had no exams in the winter and one multiple choice exam in the fall. gently caress yeah. I didn't play video games so much as did track days and got drunk (at different points in time). I also found the very small number of law students who were cool (for law school), and I'm still good friends with them today.

This is not a single redeeming aspect of law school. It doesn't teach you how to "think like a lawyer" or practice law. It's function was to limit the labor pool of practicing lawyers to increase demand and income for practitioners. It has failed at even this task.

I read really quickly, and picked up pretty quickly that what is important for getting cold-called (who the people were, etc) is completely irrelevant for the exams. Also the professors had a cold-call rotation and would go through everyone once before repeating names, so I could go for long stretches being fairly sure I would not get cold-called. Even then, the professors tended to more want to wrestle with the issues which requires way less rote memorizing/notetaking of stupid poo poo like the plaintiff's third job and middle name - I usually had a short list of specific facts about the case like the plaintiff/defendant's name that I could reference but I wasn't interested in taking down the entire history of the case which was flagrantly useless for anything but showing you actually read it. Then, come exam time, it was time to exhaustively outline everything but they were all open book and you would be amazed at how effective looking at the table of contents or the index is to find the answer to a question. It might have been more like two hours a night, but still. Even four hours a night would be way less work than actually having a job.

I can't comment on the JD vs Phd thing, but I will reiterate what others here have mentioned: law school is not interesting. The classes are largely a slog of memorizing case holdings and interplay of statutes. Moments of intellectually stimulating discussion are the exception. I personally do find a certain perverse joy in statutory workings, but that was more of a silver lining for a grind I was already invested in. I would never seek out law school for the "fun" of the classes. I'm not saying I hated law school classes, but often people on the outside envision constant exciting, heated discussions on legal philosophies or something. More often it's highlighting the holding in an overly dense textbook and hoping you won't be cold called to recite the names of the corporations involved. I did have some of my best years in the gym, though. Parties are a thing, but I was one of those nerds stressing out and studying too much. Being at a middling school as you watch the economy collapse around you is certainly a motivator.

I didn't memorize poo poo in law school, except fed Tax and MAYBE Civ Pro. Our school liked open note exams, so I just made really good outlines and copied the relevant sections word-for-word on my exam.

I flat out used other people's outlines and still did pretty well. You can avoid cold calls entirely by just answering a few times here and there when open ended questions get asked.

I wish him the best of luck and hope it works out. There's a definite risk; most of us took that risk too. It did work for some of us? Still, don't go, sign your holographic will with a pink kitty, die alone,

The only professor I had 1L year who even asked questions about the facts of the case or the holding was straight out of University herself. The majority of cold calling was about the analysis the court used or if the outcome might have changed if the facts were different in some specific way.
