Perhaps my comments will help you better understand lawyers. There s an old saying, law students often enter law school wanting to do good and leave wanting only to do well. One reason is that most leave school deeply in debt, a fact that makes them far more concerned with making money. And finding a job is no simple matter. Many young lawyers scramble furiously and end up giving up their hopes of practicing a certain type of law to take any job they can get.
Law school can be intensely competitive.
Generally, students are ranked in numerical order and access to job interviews often is based on class standing. Though everyone who gets into law school was an academic hot shot somewhere, half of them will be in the bottom half of their class. And competition extends beyond grades. Law students don t discuss issues, they are trained to argue and advocate. Some get so competitive that they try to win conversations.
