The result of this disconnect is that law schools are completely clueless about teaching students what they need to know. You adjust to being a lawyer and having a compatible second career. Often the second career is one that has many parts. Financial planners sell insurance, stocks, mutual funds, advise on putting together wills and trusts and give tax advice. Second, the new lawyer must learn to write.
Lawyers are writers first and foremost.
Learn to write with a word processor. Third, your new lawyer need to learn to be a socially outgoing, sales oriented, marketing person. Fifth, learn to use and obtain the use of a computer word processor and a 300dpi or better printer. Even WordStar will get you started. Ok, nothing beats a large, financially successful, professionally well regarded, extended family living in a town of about 100,000 to 300,000 people that centers a community of half a million or so potential customers and that has no law school within five hundred miles.
