Congrats on completing 1 semester of law school. My old dean told us that we're 80% lawyers after 1 year, which is about right. Once you've learned to "think like a lawyer," the rest is just application.

Wow ... I would disagree with that. I would say we're 50% lawyers at best when we start our first job after graduateion. My experience was that law school poorly prepares most lawyers for actual law practice. Not that you could do without the law school education, but there are so many other skills you have to learn on the job to be a truly good lawyer.
A lawyer might have been in the top 5% of his class, but when the first client calls and asks for advice, the book learning just doesn't cut what years of experience gives you.
