I referred to myself as a sucker, so I guess i do see why?


Also, there are firms where you can work 55 hours a week and get paid market/near market. That's 9-7, M-F and some work on the weekend or a late night or two. Fine by me.

Ohh I saw you recommend this in a previous thread, I think I'm gonna pick this up.

Also, I read "Getting to Maybe" and found it decent. 1L, Law School Confidential, etc. There are tons of books out there, might be interesting, most are quick reads or flip throughs.


In addition, let me now say, please do not take any "pre-Law School" courses. This is 100% unnecessary. Also, don't bother trying to read up on cases and whatnot now. Enjoy your summer. Take extra days off work. Hang out with friends. Relax.

Hey Noah

Cool thread.

I'm applying for Fall 2008, and there's a Law School Forum in my area tomorrow. Worth going to, or waste of time?

I never went to one and since admissions is so anonymous, unless you want to learn about some schools, I don't see the point. Feel free though, I really don't even know much about them.
