Date: January 25th, 2019 12:38 PM Author: Crystalline useless bawdyhouse mexican Almost every attorney at a V10 or V25 is top few percent in IQ and top few percent in work ethic or ability to grind. Most of them could be doing something interesting or important or meaningful. Instead, we make sure that 9.2 works with 7.6 and jump all over each other when someone uses a hyphen instead of an en dash.

Date: January 25th, 2019 12:40 PM Author: Stirring pale national karate There is a strong argument to be made that too many of our intelligent people are sorting themselves into law, when their raw brain power could be put towards engineering, medical research or various other things that would have more broad based benefits. It's sort of wasted in law when you put very high intelligence just towards real estate transactions and corporate due diligence.
