Being a lawyer is like being pregnant
Everyone says Congratulations but no one knows the pain

[asron]

The coolest thing you get out of law school is saying that you went to law school

[HeHe-nswt]

what is it with people wanting to be lawyers bc of musicians and terrible contracts

[LawVenture]

I learned pretty quickly in law school that the professors LOVE to talk. Whenever they cold called me and I didn't read in advance, I'd try to turn the tables by asking questions back to the professor. As soon as the professor started to answer my question, I would look down and start skimming the case. You don't realize how fast you can read until you're in the cross-hairs of the Socratic method 😅😅

I was shooketh by the size of that coffee mug

[lachikitab]

I work in duke’s law school café and believe me all those law students run on coffee 24/7 😩

[oliviab]

I’m in law school right now, and I’ll tell you what 1L is like!
You know that meme of the dog sitting in a room on fire, and the dog says, “it’s fine.” That’s it.
Law school is harder than you’d imagine, but it’s kinda manageable.

[jbr]

I went to law school and it was not that hard —- i was a janitor there not a student.😂

[chanezdel]

The blond one looks like a young Celine Dion 🙈

[roseestha]

The guy in black looks like he learnt more from the girl than he did in law school

Anyone who is considering law school, please remember that it is not a universal experience. The student population is generally diverse in many ways, and everyone has their own reasons and interests. Some are there because their parents were lawyers, and their parents are paying for them to go. Some are first generation college graduates who had to take out loans to pay for it. The one thing that probably is universal is that it doesn't come naturally to many people. I made excellent grades in high school and undergrad with minimal effort. My good grades in law school took serious effort. Law school is hard work, but you can do it. It's worth it, if you really want to be there.

[MalakhiW]

don’t become a lawyer if you want money . You have to do it because it’s really what you want to do

[mariposastay]

Going to law school is like constantly drowning in a pool of your own tears but keeping your head right above to answer the questions from your lecturer so that u dont embarrass yourself in a class of 120+ persons. It's also having your class dropping from 180+ to 120 in a month

[Lily]

I'm currently in a Paralegal Program and most of my teachers are lawyers. One of my teachers told us the first day of class that the answer to most if not all legal questions is "It depends". I can not tell you how true that is, lol.

[JayyThao]

“Rebecca, is that a keg? No, it’s just my coffee” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[alysonmills]

I see a lot of people saying that law school is the hardest thing to do, and while I agree, I have to say it is also the most satisfying feeling as well. Knowing you did good on a case, or answering a question that the professor asks when no one else knows the answer or just doing a good job on a brief is so satisfying. But it’s also hard because if you get a bad grade it does kill you. Your mental health will decline during it and you feel like you’re drowning. But once in a while one thing will happen and it will be like “oh god. I can breathe again”

[xTdubb]

I can already tell that if they end up in a buzzfeed video, law school wasn’t worth it

[gsoffice]

There should be a law to keep BuzzFeed from playing background music that kills their videos!

[hyperhawk]

Law school is not for the faint of heart, it’s 10 times harder than undergrad

[MSneberger]

We had one professor that was totally John Housman from the Paper Chase - full Socratic. He would call on people and drill them about a case and just roast them. One time he called on the smartest guy in the class. The guy gave his response and there was a pregnant pause, after which the professor - fully defeated - said, "I had never thought of it that way." That guy ended up being the valedictorian of our class and is now . . . you guessed it . . . a law professor.
