There's No Competition in Law School: Little Known Niches

I got a CLE announcement from the ABA today titled "How Using a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst Can Strengthen Your Core Divorce Practice."

My initial thoughts:

What does it say about our society that divorce has become such a growing market that experts such as Certified Divorce Financial Analysts exist?
Damn, I wonder how much money they make? And are they hiring?

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.
