Law School

This has nothing to do with what you've asked, and I hope I don't sound bitchy (because that is not my intent at all) but I hope that you have VERY SERIOUSLY considered why you want to attend law school and what you want out of a legal career. Quite honestly, I wish that someone had told me that before I went because I probably shouldn't have gone at all. I harp on this all the time -- be sure you know what you're getting into because it's a rough, expensive journey. I hope that you're going into this with realistic expectations as to what a legal career involves (I say that because I did not). In other words, I hope that other people can learn from my mistakes.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any other questions!

Valkyrie, you are sooo right about what you posted. I work with a bunch of attorneys, and at least half of them bitch and moan about their jobs and halfway regret getting their JD's. My fiance took a long time to decide whether or not to return to law school (took a leave of absence for medical reasons) because he's not sure if he wants to practice law. I told him to at least finish and think about taking the state bar exam, therefore giving him the OPTION of practicing should he change his mind. I told him that he could also consider being a law professor.
