There's No Competition in Law School: How Little I Know the Rules of PR

tinkles so if you are an animal lawyer

tinkles: and you are defending a horse

tinkles: would it be a conflict of interest to ride it during the weekends?

calculating: well, thats kind of like having sex with a client. I think its okay as long as you rode it before it became a client.

calculating: But if you only started after the client relationship began, then it would be a conflict of interest.

tinkles: well lets say you rode its mother

tinkles: while it was inside

tinkles: so you kinda rode her

calculating: Well, technically still wouldn't have been a client yet…although that may become a gray area. Who is paying for the representation?

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.
