This episode I'm joined by my friends Harumi ( @helloharumi  aka  @angrybabylawyer ) and Nissa ( @adustierstar  /  RufusJHC ) to drink and get progressively angrier about the absolute ridiculous double standard we face as female law students and lawyers being treated as if we can'…

In this episode, I'm joined by my friends Ian ( @lawblrwithalcohol ) and Lisa ( @ramblingandpie )  to compare the war wounds, stories, and trauma from three different eras of the "first generation" law school experience. Remember kids, don't do it. And if you must do …

When I was in law school, I used to tell other law students who asked me if I thought it was worth it "yes, this is hell, but what else could you imagine doing?"   First of all - current law students? don't ask fellow law students for career advice. They're just as fuck…

Can we talk for a minute about how emotionally draining it can be to be both a good person and a lawyer? My job as a lawyer has, on more than one occasion, conflicted with my moral desire to help people. I am not a saint by any means. I am a tool. People wield me and my skills in the sa…

Listen, I have blogged about law school for a long time. And I learned very early on that law school blogging comes with a caveat - No one likes to bitch more than law students. This includes lawyers. Sure, we complain about our jobs a little bit - the hours, the stress, the fact tha…

When I was in 1L, someone at another law school, running another blog, said this was their mantra for #finalshell - Jillian Michaels was like their evil Anti-Patronus always screaming "Unless You Faint, Puke, Or Die, Keep Working" like an evil spirit that instead of protectin…

August creeping up on people has a similar effect no matter what stage of your life you're in. "Dear God, is summer already almost over??" is a pretty universal sentiment.  But August also tends to bring with it a slew of 0Ls asking for advice on what they should do to …

Every one has heard this phrase. It's on inspirational posters, bookmarks, and probably on some piece of decor in your grandmother's house.  "Don't sweat the small stuff. And it's ALL small stuff."  Guess what, people? As a law student, people love to tell y…
