Attorneys - tell me about your job...?

[farrellcollie]

I have been practicing law for 21 years and I teach research and writing full time at a law school. I teach mostly in the night program so most of my students are not fresh out of college - but I have also taught in the regular program-I have seen many people drop out because law school is not what they thought it would be. IF possible - can you go sit in on some first year classes (at our school we often have visitors). I clerked for a federal judge (great job), worked in private civil firm (horrible - billable hours, stupid cases, I thought civil discovery/litigation was the most boring thing on the planet, annoying clients, etc) was an appellate public defender (great job for me - reading and writing). If you have specific questions - feel free to pm me.
