There's No Competition in Law School: Going to Hell...

So I've been busy working in downtown of Law School City. Downtown is a great place to be in the summer, lots of stuff going on, great restaurants, great bars, and of course all the eye candy that can be seen running around at all hours of the day. I get off of work the other day, and am walking back to my car, while walking home I see a relatively attractive girl on the street from behind, and I think to myself "Nice." For the record, I am married, and therefore engage in the "look but do not touch" policy. Eventually, she stops and waits for the bus. She turns around and faces me, and she is just as cute from the front as she was from behind. However, to my horror I look down to see what she was carrying, it was an "SAT Prep Book." So that puts her at what, 15 or 16 years old? I'm totally going to hell...

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.

Going to Hell...
