Law School Discussion

I like how much smaller "defendant" is than "See"

That's the whole problem, right?  I could write a page of insightful, coherent and pretty-looking sentences in half an hour.  Not so much, though, when I have to spend twenty minutes on West every time I put a noun next to a verb.

I guess I'm preaching to the choir on this one.  Seriously, lawyers should be able to make *&^% up.

That looks miserable.

I hate Civ Pro.

I love Civ Pro, and still find this completely miserable.  Protip: when you pick a topic, make it random as @#!* ("The Effects of the Patriot Act on Informed Consent for HPV Vaccinations in the Global Warming Context: An International Comparative Perspective").  Living in fear of surprise preemption is a bad way to go through life.

(As an alternative: refuse to develop a discernible thesis.  All things considered, I'm probably safe--there's nothing to preempt.)

yo Ninja, do you know a Professor Burch?

Law school steals your soul and makes you decidedly less funny.

That is all.

Sounds about right.

Define "average school."  If you're talking about Tier 3/4 (which is below average, but whatever), that's when you need to be worried about getting "overlooked in the job market" entirely.

The proper course of action is letting your employer know that you're applying to law school and that you may or may not go next year. You'll make a decision in the spring.

I see where you're coming from, but--unless it was the secretiveness that got the other guy canned, which doesn't sound like the case--OP shouldn't risk his damn job.

You don't tell your firm, "Hey, I've actually been talking to some headhunters, and I may or may not be leaving for a different job next year."  There's no moral duty with this sort of thing.
