As your bar prep course drags on, you are likely finding it harder and harder to stay awake. So weird that hours of lectures on the UCC aren’t scintillating enough to keep you fully engaged, right?

The Secret To Success? Pretending You Work Much More Than You Do
All through law school, law students live in this fantasy world that is half-nightmare, half-dream. You know the one.

The Most Ridiculous Lawyer Billboards
Now, we’re not talking about those ones where a dude glowers over the freeway dressed in a $150 suit with a dark dress shirt like he’s Regis Philbin circa 1998. Those things are a dime a dozen.

Obviously, making fun of our own profession is pretty much our brand identity, so we’re totally thick-skinned about people who are not lawyers making fun of us too.
