Yep, the schools pretty much mandate that we can't work our first year. Well they can't make us NOT work, but let's just say when I wrote them an email to ask if it was absolutely not allowed or just discouraged, i got a VERY discouraging email.
I think the ABA (American Bar Association) dicates that we can't work more than 20 hours a week at any point in time during law school. But I don't think that's strictly enforced.
Instead of having a "real" job, i sell stuff on eBay. Helps give me a little extra cash. It's pretty easy, it doesn't take up large chunks of my time, it works around my schedule, and the post office is two blocks from my school. Pretty convenient!

The ABA mandates you can't work more than 20 hours. LSU takes it one step further and forbids first year students from working. It takes a special hardship excuse to be able to hold a job. Although, there's a girl in my class who's on the TV news, and she got to keep her job, I guess because it was such a cool job. I dunno.
We're required to sign something saying that we don't have a job as part of our honor code, and being found in violation is pretty serious, I think. Of course, my school is pretty assy....
