There's No Competition in Law School: And I Have To Spend My Spring Break Here

This morning I stepped out of the backdoor to my house and looked around. The trees were coated in ice, the sun was sparkling off of the snow and icicles were hanging from the eaves of the houses in the neighborhood. It looked like a scene that you normally only see in calendars during the winter months. In a word: beautiful.

Then I inhaled and my nose hairs froze. Forget snow days, picturesque scenes, and snow sports. I'll take anywhere warmer.

I wonder if they have any accredited law schools in Mexico?

We Came. We Were Snarky. We Disbanned.

The short story: we blogged pretty voraciously while in law school until halfway through our 3L year when law school drama interceded. We abruptly shut down, fearing exposure that would impact our full-time employment options.

Sometimes, there is, unfortunately, no humor in law school or the legal profession.

That was years ago. Since then, we're all gainfully employed. Of the LawBitches, one is a partner and two others are associates in small firms, two are solo practitioners, one works for the government, one is an in-house counsel, one work in non-traditional job in corporate America, and two are also adjunct professors at a law school.

The point is: we all survived. But if you ask us if we're happy? Or if we'd do it over again? Well, you'd get differing responses.

The bottom line: Before you decide to go to law school, be aware -- be very aware -- of what you are getting yourself into.
