Did part of a pretest wasted at a friends house. He got pissed off at me and wouldn't tell me the score. I've a few lawyer buddies. One specializing in DUI and the other is now, well I don't know... Many schools average your GPA/LSAT in some sort of balanced formula.
*oh yea... Go kick ass.

ive been told that most lawyers know how to handle DUI cases because they always get asked by friends to represent them in court. that and personal injury because every lawyer wants to get that pay day and retire.

Yea... As long as you don't hurt anyone -a DUI case is pretty cut and dry. You aren't going to get rich being a State's Attorney. The latter of the two listed above was one for a while. He also had his credentials and on reserve with an agency (he carried). He's since gone over to the darkside and is representing the accused (also no longer backed by a agency). I'll ask him, "how's business?" --- "Couldn't be better. There is always a moron out there getting into trouble."

I know a guy who did corporate law (not a friend though). Skip Campbell. He was one of the attorneys that first succesfully nailed the tobacco industry. He now has more money than god. I rode in his Robinson R44 once around Tampa. One of the few times I would have voted for a D. Man did that guy have fun...

law school just ain't worth it right now... you're better off getting a nursing degree. srsly.

look around on google and you'll find a bunch of articles about the difficulty of finding a legal job right now. our grads have been struggling this year, and some firms have even laid off partners, which is highly unusual.

it's still an awsm degree to have... but competition is fierce after you graduate. best of luck, i hope you find something worthwhile.

only 47% of our graduates last summer were able to find jobs at firms. most had to take non-law degree jobs. your friend is the minority...

137 on my first practice test. that's 36/100 right. missed out on half the questions because of my poor time management skills.

well being late 15 minutes late for the second session didn't help. but yeah, i get caught up in the question. the test doesn't seem that difficult. i just need to catch up on my reading and give it a go in a few months.
