[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]

As an older law student, this definitely was true for me. My lasting friendships from law school are with other older students. My advice to the OP is to follow your passion -- get involved with ABA committees or pro bono work that interests you. The people you meet there will be potential friends as well as good networking contacts. [/quote]
