The decision to attend law school is one of the most important decisions you will make in your entire lifetime. For whatever reasons you decide to attend, for whatever it is you choose to do once you earn your law degree, one thing is certain - after attending, you will never be the same.
Law school can be a life-changing experience in a number of very important ways.
Law school will teach you how to think about things in a lawyerly way, you will learn a new language - legal jargon or legalese, you will find that your tolerance levels will increase higher than you ever imagined, you will find that you are able to do things you did not realize you could do. Many people describe law school as a mental boot camp or liken it to pledging a fraternity or sorority. These are good analogies - law school is difficult and the only way you can get through it is if it is something you really want. You need to talk to as many law students, law graduates and lawyers as you possibly can. Read as many books as you can, talk to your pre-law advisor and professors at your undergraduate university who hold law degrees, visit law schools, talk to everyone who will take the time to chat with you, sit in on classes, make appointments to speak with administrators and professors.
