There's No Competition in Law School: Must Have Been Some Night...

...when you wake up the next morning and think, well at least I didn't throw up last night...and then you sense the sour taste in your mouth and realize that you did right before you passed out.

And yet you still get up, possibly still drunk, and drive to the library on a Sunday because finals are less then a week away... That's when it truly hits you that you are a law student.

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.
