There's No Competition in Law School: Law School Ruins the iPhone

Law School Ruins the iPhone

In case you haven't noticed, I'm the resident Mac Zealot (yes, that makes me better than you). There have been rumors swirling in the Mac community for a couple years about Apple releasing a cell phone, touch screen iPods, etc. None of them were really given much credibility since they all seemed outrageous.

Today Apple confirmed them all when Steve Jobs (a.k.a. The Dear Leader) announced the iPhone, a touch screen smart phone that sports a fully featured web browser as well as iPod capabilities.

My first thought? "Oh, mobile Westlaw!"

Fucking law school.

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.
