Trust me, I am not embarrassed in the slightest. As for career advice, maybe I am no more qualified than any non-lawyer. But as for the topic of the question, getting into law school, I believe I am just as qualified as anyone, if not more so. The fact that you still refer to a bluebook when those are basically extinct shows that law school may have changed a bit since you have been there.

While taking undergraduate English courses may be a slight advantage, it is most definitely not enough to waste your time and money on it.

As for when exam time comes, it came and went, and B”H, either I shockingly was smart enough not to write “mamash a contract,” or the professor surely appreciated it, because my grades are in very good shape. ( and I’d imagine someone who scored in the upper 170s would as well.)

I have spoken to my classmates who have majored in Literature, Journalism, etc. and they all have said that the style of writing that they were taught was very different from what is expected in a legal writing course.

I also fail to see what Alan Dershowitz and his opinion has anything to do with our topic.

And I lost sight of this numerous times unfortunately, so I am speaking to myself as well, but I just want to stress yet again that this is all HISHTADLUS. Whether we actually get a job is up to Hashem.
