Well I wouldn't say I'm happy, but I'm guessing the crushing despair would be worst if I had taken four years off work and eighty odd grands of debt, gotten my wife pregnant twice in that interval only to flunk the bar and not find an articling position anyway. Or pass the bar and still not find an articling position a year out. Or drop out of bar school after six months and a mental break down, then go back, do the short program and fail the bar. ...you know what, typing this has made me feel a heck of a lot better about my life

Either you don't know what capricious means or you aren't quite getting the point that he's making fun of you using the phrase gap year because it sounds entitled and obnoxious. Everyone here would agree take a year. But that doesn't mean it's a year off, you have a degree, work on getting a job, saving money, etc. mikeraskol fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Feb 19, 2014 |

My judge just got moved from arb appeals and some major jury trials (we've been here less than a month) to motions court. I have no idea what to expect except that it's a zoo, we're getting extra clerks to help keep up with the volume of work, and I want to go back to criminal.

Of course, but I was just trying to point out there's probably a distinction between being cautious with word choice in a professional or academic setting vs having to worry if goon ridicule is going to rain down upon me for calling something a gap year instead of however else I can refer to "taking a year before law school" or whatever. Sorry dude.

From what I've read so far in this thread it seems like standing on the figurative unemployment line or swiping that sweet, sweet, ebt would be up there. Welp, see y'all goons in a year, maybe. Thanks for talking me out of law school (for now)

Gap year is a pretty normal term for working for a year before law school. I hear it used sometimes at law school.

SUPERIOR VENA CAVA posted:Guys, I literally said about three separate times that I'm taking goon advice and am going to probably retake the lsat and reapply. It seems really strange to me that goons are so willing to jump on this circlejerk of shaming people coming into this thread for advice, who actually also take said advice. Yeah, there are lots of legitimately bitter and borderline cruel people in this thread. Some of the "advice-givers" are clearly just looking to put people down. You might even go so far as to say that this thread is full of typical lawyers. (The advice is still good and correct though.)

This thread has gone gangbusters. Samglover showed back up, nm is talking about poop, Soothing is anything but soothing, and approximately six law school people are trying to fluff their feathers about how much of a unicorn they are. I love this thread. Do not go to law school under any circumstances.
