[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Law school is a completely different animal than grad school. You learn the law almost exclusively through reading and dissecting court cases and judicial opinions.

I don’t recommend it if you have aspirations besides practicing law (though I know many people obtain a JD and end up with careers outside the law but I wouldn’t suggest it if that’s your ultimate goal).[/quote]

+1. Non-practicing lawyer here with a JD from a T3 law school. Law school was an unpleasant, competitive grind and a much different atmosphere from grad school. I do not recommend law school, particularly top law schools, unless you really want to be a practicing lawyer for the next 20+ years and understand what that entails. Though I suspect OP is comparing their degree with someone else's and not actually deciding between law and grad school. [/quote]

You went to a T3 law school and you’re counseling others not to go to law school? I wouldn’t have either if I were you.  You wasted your money. [/quote]
