Subject: University is Closed

I just learned that the University is closed (as I sit in my office after a long commute). Go home if you are here. Stay home if you are not.

Okay, maybe its just me, but doesn't he sound kind of pissed? You'd think that if you were the dean you'd be the first one to know that the school was closed. I wonder if he got to his office, was surfing the web and clicked on the local news station's school closings before he found out that the university was officially closed.

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.
