I’m a lawyer!

[propita]

Well, today was the swearing-in. I am officially a lawyer.

Who cannot give advice because I am not insured.

A professor at my school suggested I consider teaching, since I had helped so many pass law school. The profs are aware of this, had commented (positively) on it, and even sent some students to see me. My outlines are used or referenced by (I’m told) just about every student in the school. The outlines are all locked, though not pdf-ed, and identifiable even at a distance by their colors and really tiny font (size 8 in times new roman).

I think I’d like teaching. It’s what I’ve been doing for years--explaining things. Hell, I did that at City College for biology class, and the teacher said that semester’s average grade was the highest he’d ever had and that it was because of my explaining things to people outside of class. And I HATED biology!

So maybe I’m a teacher. Not a bad thing.

If that's where your talent lies, you really owe it to yourself to investigate it more. You've mentioned teaching before, and I really think you should give it a shot.

Congratulations!

Now you must beware of Shakespearian assassins.

 

[Niorah]

Congratulations!

I hope it'll be all you wish it to be and more.

Very impressive! Congratulations finally on your achievement, propita

Funny. You don't seem any more evil.

Any subject you're more interested in teaching?

Yes, congratulations. And if your passion and talent is teaching, go for it!

Congratulations, Propita!

Teaching is the best part of lawyering. If I ever left my job as a trial attorney, I'd love to teach Constitutional Law to undergraduates or high school students.

Congratulations! You've obviously proven your teaching skills, so if teaching appeals to you, then go for it. You've worked hard to get to where you are now, so make sure you do what you enjoy the most.

 

[SaturnVengeance]

Congratulations.

 

[TrekkieMonster]

Congratulations, and welcome to the bar.

Now, can I buy you a drink?

Well, my Bachelor’s was in English (summa cum laude, yet), so since I have no experience as a practicing attorney, it was suggested I try Legal Analysis/Research. Both of my writing professors at law school really think highly of my ability. I had helped only a few people with that, basically teaching them what they were supposed to be doing, as opposed to what they were doing. Their grades went up about 15 points each.

I’ve mainly helped people understand what to do on a test with the rules of law they’ve memorized and understood. That applies to all subjects. Even though it is discussed in class, many need just a bit more help. And it really doesn’t take long to get most to understand. Some profs have asked what the hell I’ve said to get those results. Well, most of it has to do with the student’s interest in succeeding--if the person won’t continue to try, it won’t matter what anyone says or tries.

So I guess my success as a “teacher” is really due to the students.

As someone who gets a new law school student/intern every three months, I implore you: pleeeeease teach legal writing. Please?

You should still practice on the side, just so you know the in & outs of the business, and can give further advice to prospective lawyers (Hell burners ;-).


So, how gruelling was it to be reahc this point?
