The Trials of Law School

So you think you want to go to law school but you just can’t decide/ Well, as I’ve often said, there are many reasons not to go to law school. One is that it puts you in so much debt. Another is that, well, it can sort of suck. And, despite there being dozens if not hundreds of books on the subject of what law school is like, it still seems hard to know what you might be getting into before you actually decide to go.

Enter “The Trials of Law School,” a new film that attempts to provide at least 6 more answers to those all-important questions about what law school is like and whether it’s right for you. According to promotional materials for the film:

The Trials of Law School is a fascinating feature documentary film about the law school experience that follows 6 students through their grueling first year of law school. With different backgrounds and expectations, these students struggle to balance their families and personal lives while learning a new language, a new way of thinking and a new way of life. The film also features distinguished legal scholars and professors from 25 law schools across the country.

It sounds like it might be just the thing for those potential law students who just aren’t sure it’s really what they want to do.1 [tags]movies[/tags]

  • Cole’S Law Blog: Making a deference:

    When I first entered law school, I thought that passing the bar was a euphemism that meant that when it was all over you could go into a bar and get any girl you wanted. Turns out, it’s some sort of test. @ Ha!

    Listening to Michael Jackson's Thriller today is equivalent to listening to Elvis Presley's first album (1956) at the time of Thriller's release in 1982. @ Yes, I do feel old, yes I do.
