There are state appellate courts. Why the hell would you enter appellate just to argue in front of SCOTUS? Is that what you thought when you read my posts?

Nony Mouse wrote:I actually think it's very normal for people to think they'll like appellate. (Some of us do actually like it, Nebby.) It is a good match for nerdy introverts (as an appellate lawyer said to me once, appellate lawyers don't get out much), and then of course people think they want it because they think it's all like arguing in front of SCOTUS.
There are lots of AMAZING things in what OP is saying, but that they think they'll like appellate isn't one of them.

Re: Help! Law Firm Fit!
It was 20 over four years. Each Stanford undergrad averages about 15 classes a year and the law school classes counted towards my major. Not that hard to figure out...cavalier1138 wrote:I'm still confused about how you took 20 law school classes in your senior year of undergrad. As was pointed out, taking 20 doctrinal classes would be on the high end for a full-time law student over the course of three years.

Nope. I had prior connections and the professors let me in based on faculty recommendations and a sit down interviewhasmith wrote:Rock Solid OP - were there other undergrads in these law school classes?

Copy that - I did something similar with the medical school attached to my university, even scrubbed in for a few of the easier surgeries! Really great experience, good on ya for thinking outside the box!

Re: Help! Law Firm Fit!
Yeah, I did - because I took initiative. It was a verbal recommendation. I all I know is that the YLS staff saw my transcript, looked at classes, and here I am. Don't hate on me just because you can't believe someone would find their calling at a young age and dedicate their all to being the best.Kali the Annihilator wrote:"Passionate about my practice" -0L

I'm digging this. It's kind of like a YLS-0L version of Da Rascal.

My professors love me. Also, I don't know if these posts are coming from people from my workplace who are scared about me talking about their trifiling racist behavior and making the company's diversity initiatives look bad.
