This blog is my way of coping with law school.

The way I feel about law school sounds like a love letter

suggestiofalsi:

I think about you all the time, I dream about you, you changed my life, I don’t know what I would do without you, my whole world starts and ends with you

But really if I was writing a love letter to my school I’d lace it with anthrax.

Applies to pretty much all subjects.

What happened when I agreed to attend law school.

Lesson 1: Never do anything that will make things easier for the other party.

Crown Prosecutor: Make sure you tab these copies clearly. No overlapping tabs that I can't see.
Me: Yep. All 3 copies?
Crown Prosecutor: Of course not. Just my copy and the Judge's copy. I don't care about the copy for the defence. As long as it's all in there somewhere, they can sort it out.

How I feel about law:

Whoever said doctors’ handwriting is hard to read has probably never had to type out a judge’s handwritten notes…

I swear it’s some sadistic sort of initiation ritual for the newbies. 

Pretty much every time I go out since I started law school

The first week of my job. 

The perks of being a law student

image

Went into the pub across the court to grab lunch… Only to realise after sitting down, that the guy next to me was the accused of the case I’m on. Talk about awkward…

3 days into my job and I realise that you will never use most of the stuff they teach you at law school.

Anonymous: Um, Can you tell me more about the amount of reading that law students have to complete? I'm curious as to why people rant a lot about it..

Nothing I say will fully encapsulate this experience. 

  • Law students get assigned unreasonable amounts to read.
  • Not only is there A LOT to read, it’s also very boring and confusing.
  • The entire process of reading and studying means long hours by yourself. It’s very lonely. 
  • When you finally understand a topic and want to celebrate it, you remember you have another 100 pages to read.
  • Buying the books that you need to read is expensive.
  • Reading off a screen hurts your eyes after 100 pages.
  • Carrying the books around to class will give you scoliosis.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
