ambivalent comment

Sure, law school changes people, and I'd agree generally w/Buffs that too much of the change is not good for society. W/out going into it all here, this is one reason law school should be different. For anyone who agrees, please join the discussion. But I also agree w/JR that if you go into it w/a solid commitment to what you want to do, you can escape mostly unscathed and better for some positive things you can pick up in law school, including familiarity w/how a flawed system works. And although it's a little old, for more on why law exams may not be so good, see this recent criticism. Still, I'm really glad to hear that the feeling that you're seeing the world upside down wears off quickly once law school is over. I'm predicting the upside-down feeling will right itself as soon as I learn I've passed the bar and I can give the finger to law-related “exams” for good ... er, or at least until I move and have to take another damned bar exam. Dave: I resemble resent that M.A. in English remark. ;-)
