To play a lawyer and have one year of law school under your belt, you sort of know what you're talking about! I'm able to memorize the legal courtroom stuff a lot faster than I would have been able to otherwise.

One of the things I was taught in law school is that I'd never be able to think the same again - that being a lawyer is something that's part of who I am as an individual now.

Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.

The more lawyers there are, the more people are out there to encourage others not to go to law school.

Most lawyers aren't trial lawyers. Most lawyers, even trial lawyers, don't get their problems solved in a courtroom. We like to go to court. It seems heroic to go to court. We think we're the new, great advocates, better than anything we've seen on TV, and we come home exhilarated by having gone to court.

Unless you have a perception of who you are as a lawyer, you will never be at ease in dealing with legal matters, clients, or courts. But if you know who you are and why you're there, all you need is the expertise and the information.

The trouble with law is lawyers.

The only thing I learn on a daily basis from law school is that I disliked it and the law so much that it's constantly this fire at my heels.

You see, some lawyers have the talent, have the charisma, but no discipline. They come into court unprepared, without having done their research.

Your attitude will go a long way in determining your success, your recognition, your reputation and your enjoyment in being a lawyer.
