Lights, Camera, Alex: No One’s Greater than Spader
If any of you live with or know someone whose profession is one oft-featured on television or in film (lawyer, doctor, etc.) then you are surely well acquainted with the incessant, “That’s not how it happens in real life!” bellyaching.
Well I hope you like it, because here comes some more!

When You Get to Law School, DON’T Hang Out with Law Students
Guest poster Alex Davis talks about his experiences as a law student at UCLA.
It’s no secret that law school (and your first year in particular) is a black hole for free time, the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the advent of Lolcats. If you’ve gotten all your applications in (and you should have by now), you’re perilously close to flushing all your waking hours into the stygian abyss known affectionately as “1L year.”

Debate: Are Law Students Well Prepared for the Job Market?
Our friends Carolyn Wise and Brian Dalton at Vault.com had an interesting (if unintentional) debate this week about the preparedness of law school grads for the legal job market. We’ve re-posted with their permission.
Carolyn Wise:
Law students took a beating in a recent Chicago Lawyer roundtable of law school deans. It should come as no surprise that, because of the economy, students and soon-to-be graduates are having a ton of trouble finding legal jobs. To help, schools have started reaching out and looking into how to make their students better employees and, by extension, better candidates.

Law School Debt and the American Dream
I’m currently about 14k in the hole with student loans, which isn’t too bad, as far as such things go. It sucks to have to drop $200 every month, but I’m pretty sure there are about a billion people in China who don’t really give a crap, if you feel me. It’s like a really small albatross lightly gripping my neck.
If you go to law school, and you don’t get some financial aid, you can reasonably expect to graduate with about ten times that debt. It’s a scary thought, mildly assuaged by the idea that you’ll have access to a higher-salaried job market then the rest of us plebes. But still, I understand that it’s a little scary.

Ave Maria and Law School Transparency
So, remember a while back when that chick was doing the whole hunger strike thing because she went to a fourth-tier law school and was under-employed? That was all for the purpose of something called law school transparency, which is basically a three-fold idea:
1. There aren’t as many law jobs as there were.
2. Law schools are saying that most of their graduates are finding employment.
3. These two don’t correlate.

Interview with a Lawyer: A Look at Legal Life
First, I’d just like to say that we own Algeria. Secondly, I’d like to say that watching a soccer game from a bar at 7 in the morning is as surreal an experience as you’ll find outside of a Wes Anderson film. Thirdly, I’d actually like to introduce you to the interview we’ve got below.
Odds are that you’re thinking about being a lawyer. You’ve either taken the LSAT or are going to take the LSAT, with the next step obviously being applying for law school.
Before you make the leap, however, it’s important to take a look at where you’ll be landing. Below is an interview we conducted with Joan Cotkin, a Los Angeles-based lawyer doing the kind of work many of you ostensibly hope to do. She gives a good peak at the kind of life you’ll be leading when you too are a lawyer.
