[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t forget practicing law generally requires a different skill set than law school teaches you as well.[/quote] "Practicing law" can mean so many different things. Law school tries to teach some select areas of the law, issue spotting, research, analysis, legal writing. This translates to the "practice of law" if you're a brief writer. It doesn't teach you in depth how to acquire clients, deal with clients, run the business of a private law firm, market the firm, litigate, settle, go to trial, etc. You know those "Big Firms" that law students think they want to be a part of? They started as small firms with a handful of people, clients, and connections. Law school doesn't teach you how those small firms became huge firms and how to make that happen from a business standpoint. I don't know that any of this would have to do with a "law school that changes lives."[/quote]
