[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Q- just because I am curious- do you think there is a difference in the importance placed on this between those who went to school straight from undergrad and those that went a few years after being at work? I know plenty of people who went to law school in their mid-late 20s that didn't seem as effected by the social culture of school, perhaps because they had been out in the world already and saw law school as basically their "job" for those 3 years. I wonder if the social culture effects people more (good or bad) and is linked to the confidence more if they are coming out of college directly and still in that sort of mentality?

Would be interesting to hear people's perspectives on this.[/quote]

I tend to agree with your hypothesis, at least to an extent. I work in a law school as think the older law students usually have a slightly easier time with the adjustment to law school culture. I do think having worked for a while is a help. On the other hand, most of the law students, straight out of undergrad or not, find law school culture pretty unsatisfying.[/quote]
