Just wanted to share that I was accepted into my backup law school yesterday. Still waiting on my first choice, but the question of whether or not I will be pursuing a legal education is now answered.
I don't know why I am sharing this here. I guess I don't think this particular topic can devolve into dramatic statements and callouts over minutiae, but you all have a chance to prove me wrong. :GA:

Lots of people express that sentiment. I don't buy it. The 6th amendment augments the 5th amendment to a huge degree. Of course if you want to put your life and liberty where your mouth is you could elect to represent yourself in court if you are ever charged with a felony. :thumbup:Just wanted to share that I was accepted into my backup law school yesterday.

In Stalin's USSR there were not any pesty lawyers giving any real counterpoint to government accusations.

People who bash lawyers tend to stop if they are ever charged with a crime or if they need the services of an attorney for some other reason. Personally, I think they're great.
Many Lawyers are so narcissistic that they don't need the profit motive to do a good job, feeding their egos is all that they need to be motivated.

That's only true of some lawyers.

It's true of most of the ones I've met.
Also, you seem to think that all lawyers are wealthy. Some are while others aren't.
I have no idea. My experience so far is in insurance law. :yawn:
I would love to work for a non-profit like the ACLU, but by the time I graduate I will owe $140,000 in student loans and non-profits can't pay a living wage when you have that much debt. This is why lawyers are expensive.

Indeed.
How long until you graduate, if I may ask?

3 years if I move to the sticks and go with the full-time day program, in which case I have to quit my job and try and figure out how to raise 2 kids and go to school full time on about 1/5th of my current salary. The ABA does not allow first year law students in full-time programs to work. No money but lots of time with my kids.
4 years if I stay where I am and do the part-time evening program while maintaining my job. Decent money to live on and I see my kids in passing for 4 years.
Haven't made up my mind yet.
I was accepted into my first choice as well just before Christmas. Was given a $15,000 grant, but won't have scholarship info until March, which is bullshit as my second choice already granted me $12,000 in scholarships taking the total tuition down to just over $30,000. My first choice needs to come in with $35,000 in scholarships to match price, but I doubt that will happen and there is more to the decision than price.

For those of you who didn't know/remember his wife is having a scheduled C-section. She isn't in labor for the next 42.5 hours, for which I know she is eternally thankful.

My scholarship award came in last night and it was way, way, way better than I even dreamed. $45,000.
I will be attending the expensive private school that was my first choice :headbang2:
