I'm a 0L awaiting the Fall 2007 class. I've been lurking on this board for about three years now, occasionally reading through student and practitioner testimonials about their experiences. Especially when it comes to life in the world of BIGLAW or pretty much any day-to-day practice outside of academia or government, the portrayals have been uniformly bleak.
Other than the occasional prestige whore who actually relishes in the stressful and oftentimes abusive lifestyle, I've not heard anything good about life after law school. It just seems to be nothing but long hours of excruciatingly dull work that is never appreciated, at the expense of the rest of one's life. I've read how attorneys as a profession have one of the highest rates of depression in the country, high rates of drug and alcohol abuse, divorce, and even suicide. And for what, money that you have no time to really spend?
So, I've begun to think I've made a mistake. I applied and was accepted into a T14 school, but had to defer for a couple of years. I was certain going to law school was what I wanted to do, but having spent three years reconsidering I'm no longer sure.
Are there any newly minted attorneys out there who actually *enjoy* what they're doing, as opposed to tolerating their jobs long enough to pay off their loans? If there are, could you discuss some of what it is you do and what you enjoy about your work?

I'm not a newly minted attorney, but no one will make you do BIGLAW. If you care about having free time, there are plenty of jobs you can get with your degree that are relatively high-paying for the time you put in. They also can be relatively interesting.
Conclusion. It's easier to make more money per hour worked with a law degree than it is without (an advanced degree).
Quit being an emo puss.

What a clown. I'm going to start calling you Lee Siegal. Although that reference would be far over your intellect.
What kind of pyscho who does not go to law school not only trolls a law school discussion board spouting obsentities at everyone, but then compliments his alter-ego on the board, that is called "ihateyouall"?

this thread is THE definitive example of how useless xo is, and how it will soon be obsolete. someone asks a legitimate question about law school (which is rare on this board in the first place) and the only responses have to go with non-trad gunner faggot kill self blah blah blah. now, when people ask me where they should go for some decent info on law school, I tell them lawschooldiscussion. when they ask me where to go see what happens to non-athletic dorks who have no friends and who played too many video games as kids-- I send em to xo.

Absolutely credited. I hate the sort of people who populate LSD.
I used to worry about them--they were always up at the front of the class taking down the prof's every word on their laptops, while I slacked off and didn't even do the reading. I figured if anyone was going to succeed, it must be them (not that this ever motivated me to imitate them).
But then they got into schools like WUSTL and BC while I got into HLS...

You just asked a question to a population of people that is barely existent on a board you say you have lurked on for years, then claimed to be basing a key life decision on "cute" "anonymous nerd rage" of people you know aren't the target audience of your question.
This seems like due diligence.

the work is sometimes interesting and exciting, but usually mind numbing. the hours are bad, but not as bad as some would have you believe. the worse part is the unpredictability, not being able to plan your next move.
the paycheck is very nice, and its hard not to slap on some golden handcuffs.

LSd is what first made me want to attend law skool. But after reading this board, I thought twice about law. After hitting up the LSD again, there is no fucking way I am going to LS. Its medicine all the way.

I used to post regularly on LSD, too, but abandoned it for the same reasons most do. For all of xoxo's faults, what few nuggets of information one can find amidst all the compacted shit is far more useful than 99% of LSD's "HAY GUIZE, I GOTZ A 149 AND A 2.5 GPA, CAN I GET ME INTO SUM PRINCETON LAW?!"
Between the JHU studies and threads like the "What's killing the Harvard Lawyers", law seems like a fairly bleak prospect at almost all levels. My question is whether or not that apparent misery is a function of unrealistic expectations (as some xoxo threads would indicate), or if it's somehow endemic to the nature of being an attorney itself.

You'll want to remember to refer to law firms as "shops" when you're a "newly minted" attorney.
Fine execution of the "you spend all your time on a message board and have no friends" response. The lack of self-awareness -- and specifically having no sense whatsoever that your initial post embodies many of the familiar law student traits widely recognized as annoying -- will also serve you well.

I am a graduating 3L, but I have enjoyed law school so far. 2 of my immediate family members work at firms, one is a partner and the other is a 6th year associate. The both enjoy what they do, so I assume that I will too.
Reading this board is the only thing that ever made me doubt whether I'll like practicing law. People here are idiots.
That said, law is clearly not for everyone.

Good of you to mention that; I'm sure it never would have occurred to him.
Pehaps you could have added what a very bad thing it was that happened at Virginia Tech, which is a "microcosm" of the society in which we all live.
