Anyway, so I've been reading for her, and it's been interesting, since I do very well at it -- I mean I'm not entirely sure, since she gets double time because she has to hear it instead of read it, and I keep forgetting that I'd have to work everything out twice as fast. Still, the fact that I'd probably do very well on the test makes me think I should take the test -- and yet I have no interest in going to law school.
Doing logic games when you have almost no eyesight and can't read your diagrams reliably is no fun at all.

for now i think i'm definitely applying to george washington, u. of washington, ohio state, boston university, and u. of michigan. i'm still thinking about this, though. if i did very well on the LSAT i will apply to NYU and berkeley, but i feel like my chances of getting into either of them are pretty bad. i'm also pretty worried about financing this venture. i want to do something public interest-y like human rights or poverty, but i might leave with a buttload of loans and have to defend fat rich guys for 10 years while i pay $1000/month. i don't mind at all being poor as long as i'm not in debt. this sucks.
sorry for making this my personal law school application diary, i just want the internet to know.

where do they usually list jobs (nyc). obv, i haven't seen any listings on idealist.org. any help would be greatly appreciated.
eisbar and others seemed to make it seem like the jobs aren't too hard to find.

colin, from what you've posted it's sounds like the experience of paralegal work will turn me off the profession, but it seems worth a look.
i still can't quite wrap my head around why the big firms are so awful, but i don't doubt the claims

Have you been lobbying any lawmakers on this?
― Mr Jones (Mr Jones), Friday, 14 July 2006 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link
I don't necessarily dislike the nature of the work, but the profession itself and the money that most of us have to pay to gain entree thereto are both serious, serious downsides.
The tip about going to a law school where you want to live? Unless you go to UVa, G-town, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, et al., that is the absolute truth. I just moved to LA after going to Catholic in DC, and I am not looking forward to months of trying to find a job. Thank god I have a gainfully employed spouse.

xpost i haven't worked in corporate america, i spent my last three yeare teaching in the south bronx in the new york city teaching fellows. i needed a change. i imagine this will be a schockingly drastic one.

My better half (Mr. Que) works in the library of a large DC firm. He likes it, but would never ever ever consider law as a career. Anyhow you might want to look into law library jobs--there seem to be a lot of them, even for newbies.
