Diary of a 1L

I gotta be me
- Am I going to wear a suit to work every day? Absolutely not.
- Am I going to work 60 hours a week? Not unless I'm on national television for at least 10 of those hours.
- Will I compromise my principles to make more money? Never.
- Will I surrender my moral worldview because it goes against the orthodoxy of the legal establishment? Not if I can help it.
- Will I drive myself to despair trying to live up to someone else's standards? I must not: in the long run it's impossible.
No matter what I do, there will be paths in life that are closed off to me based on choices that I make and compromises that I refuse to make. In the end, I'm accountable to myself. If I don't like myself, then what's the point of anything else?
Comments:
might I suggest working for the state...but don't read Podraza's blog because, under his view, that actually would be worse than selling yourself to a big firm. Oh, and you will be wearing a tie an awful lot...mwa ha ha ha ha
Will you ever get a job? Probably not
Should you be in law school? Absolutely not
Why are you wasting a seat that someone who really wants to be a lawyer could fill?
Based on your questions and answers, there is not a single law firm that would want you.
I think even the ACLU wants 60 hours a week.
