Does Law School Change You? (5/15/2008)

By Steve Pirates

I?m one of those big nerds on campus who give tours to prospective students (it beats studying). ?Does law school change you?? is a question that pops up a decent amount. Through talking to the people who ask it, I?ve found that most people who are in relationships ask that question, where most single people don?t.

I tell the people who ask that if they don?t want to change they don?t have to, but that it will change how they see things. It?s like when you were a little kid and dirt seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to eat. But then once you learned about the existence of germs? well? grody. Law is the same way. Once you start learning the ins and outs of liability, you don?t see a fun clump of dirt anymore, you see a germ infested cesspool of liability. And that?s why they call it gross negligence?..
