I have worked in a mid-sized real estate law firm for over 3 years now, and I can honestly say that it's pretty fun! I'm a legal assistant, but I do a lot of work for the lawyers in preparation. I don't think I want to be an attorney, but I usually enjoy my work. The attorneys work a lot of CRAZY hours. One of the partners is up at the firm EVERY day, no days off. Both of the partners we have are women, so that's pretty fun. I spoke with one of the partners and she told me that there is still a lot of sexism and that she has to sometimes put up with a lot from judges and other (male) attorneys. Sad but true. Good luck in your law school adventures!!!!
