"i don't have a tv" but i'm afraid i won't want to do pleasure reading anymore (which keeps me from wanting to die or do meth). but i'm not sure how much of horror stories i should believe.
also gabnebb or someone else? let's say i want to be a labor lawyer (partly because i care about the workers but partly because i would make slightly more money at it (right?) than poverty lawyering, which i am also interested in but i have mad loans to pay off and can't make it on 30k/year). so they said you can just take whatever classes you're interested in so you wouldn't have to just take only stuff related to whatever kind of law you want to go into. is that really true? like if i took poverty law and whatever random theory classes i want it would be ok and i could still be a labor lawyer? i don't have to worry about this until spring but i want to know now. also i know i might totally change my mind but the question would still stand, i guess.

i would keep in mind that you might think you're interested in a particular area because you imagine yourself enjoying work for certain kinds of clients, but later learn that the actual substantive law of that area doesn't interest you very much (or that the practice may be different from how you imagined it). or vice versa.

also yeah all those things about not liking the actual law part of things i know that. which is why the question means kind of in general.

xpost - space law does in fact exist, at least at your larger law schools. i imagine it has to do with satellites or something and is very boring and populated by not gonna happen doods.

maybes - federal courts (should probably take eventually, especially if litigation-oriented, but maybe save for later; also, hard), some sort of regulatory law (environmental, say, or the more general administrative law, probably important if you want to do employment discrimination)), tax law (hard, but maybe not for math types, and if it turns out relevant to something you want to do you probably want to start early), labor and/or employment/employment discrimination law (i'd be wont to wait for third year, personally, but if it's a particular interest of yours, you probably want to start now; i never got around to them), secured transactions (boring and not necessarily relevant practically, but potentially important theoretically), family law, trusts and estates (maybe save for later?), international law (poli sci-like, i think), a research and/or theory-oriented class
i took a legal theory class as my first-year elective and while i had some brief qualms later about whether i should have taken a class or two that never made the cut in the end, i was very happy with my choice at the time.

i don't really get how to do a good job. they keep telling us how smart everyone is so that means i can get a C in everything even if i try hard because everyone is as smart as i am? i don't think they are though. i don't understand everything (esp. contracts, wtf) but people don't seem any smarter than anyone else i know. any idiot can go to law school, amirite? i think the reading is kind of fun sometimes, it's like puzzles.
― nazi bikini (harbl), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link
same thing
people don't seem any smarter than anyone else i know
maybe you're smarter, but it's v. dangerous to assume. and smarts don't count as much as time/effort.
