The post below is from a 20 year military man who is honorable and I am proud to have represent our country.
So mandamus, you have you to say who you are. Where did you serve? What law school do you go to? What is your class rank?
As for the difference between practice and study, I consider myself well studied. I have worked in a law firm, spoken with current law students, and done what I beleive to be the required research before apllying to law school. Your negativity manifests your lack of preparation for law school, and thus your lack of qualifications to study, as well as practice, law.
If you worked as a paralegal, then I take it back. That being said most people here keep being confused about the practice of law and the study of law. When someone points it out, they AGAIN go back to trying to explain the PRACTICE, thats like me saying dude there are no sharks in the pool, and someone AGAIN trying to prove that sharks lives in the ocean. There is an insane difference.
As for serving for the OP, STFU, if I want to here a civie cry I'll poke one with a fork. Once again, someone who only THINKS they know on a subject making a post, not in lawschool, never killed a man, but you watch a lot of tv and know people who did, awsome, just plain awsome.
