Goddamn that story is so old and I still think about it daily. Blarzgh wasn't even married when was posted and now he has a kid. Toona hadn't even hosed his study partner and divorced his second wife.

Shortly after all of this went down and right before I headed off to law school I tried to read John Grisham's non-fiction book Innocent Man. I couldn't finish it because it was so upsetting.

CaptainScraps posted:The truth came out that this a terrible, terrible loving job. I have three younger cousins asking about law school and none of them want to be lawyers, which is an even stupider conversation. "Don't do it. If you want to be a lawyer go to law school, otherwise do not go to law school." One of them started prepping for the LSAT last year and (I'm guessing) realized he was going to struggle to get a 150. He had already scored really low on the GRE so naturally he enrolled in some masters in PR program that doesn't require the GRE.

I guarantee there are at least a few lurking but if we wanted a couple more posters we could just finally kick off a new thread (bonus points for including "catamite" in the title).

I've never been to a rodeo but it sounds like a good time. one of the many reasons Chicago sucks is there's no county fair for that kind of stuff

I've successfully chased off a couple of folks and my sister from the law school death trap so if nothing else that will warm my soul. On the other hand I had a friend go in after repeated warnings and then message me in her 2L year going "why didn't I listen oh god"

Law students, some advice: finish all sentences before filing your pleadings (client’s name redacted) Also gramer is you’re friend

Additional advice: using 2 or 3 other people to help edit is usually worth it.

The first motion I ever filed had my coworker's name at the top because I stole it from him, and also had the wrong court in the caption.

Guys, I think I have become the enemy. I ordered my first document review project today and I'm trying not to be annoyed that the contract attorney team can't start on Monday but has to start on Tuesday for reasons. Is this what it feels like when you realize you have no soul?

anyone out there have a list of opposing counsel, judges, and other-lawyers-who-gently caress-up-your-cases-through-their-outrageously-moronic-litigation-strategies that you hope drop dead, that you recite to yourself every night before sleep a la Arya Stark?
