There's No Competition in Law School: Advice Brought to You by the LawBitches

In honor of National Blog Posting Month (no, I’m not making this up), the LawBitches are bringing you a 30-day series during the month of November on advice about law school.

How did we come up with specific topics for our advice? Well, we'd like to thank you, lovely readers, for all of the searches that have led to our blog in the last few weeks. There have been some interesting queries that have led here so stay tuned for some...er... interesting advice (in the typical LawBitch fashion, of course). So stay tuned!

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.
