Law Students get a bum wrap

I keep encountering people who believe that we in the field of legal studies are boring.

They think we're bland, jejune*, lame, mundane people.

Do they think we're too smart and motivated and driven to have fun?

If so they've got it all wrong.

I've found my law school friends to be just as socially active as anyone I knew in undergrad, or at least anyone who graduated.

The difference is we don't go out and do things that get us arrested after we get drunk.

We go to the bars Wednesday through Saturday.

Well, Tuesday through Saturday for the elite few who put together front-loaded schedules.

I mean, look at this picture! He's a law student, and he looks pretty interesting doesn't he?

Fuller thinks that it should be re-named "Lame School" because being a law student is a natural conversation killer.

When you're talking to a layman and say that you're a law student, they immediately disengage.

Is it intimidation?

Fear?

Jealousy?

Insecurity?

Whatever it is, people don't really like us, and we're not even attorneys yet.

All I have to say is, spend a week with a group of law students, you will see that we're people too.

Smart, articulate, drunk people.

Stay Tuned...






*this means dry and uninteresting, for you laymen out there.
