If You Want to be a Trial Attorney...

...don't count on law school to teach you how.

At the trial level, all the things you learned in three years become irrelevant. Rules of Evidence, mangled. Rules of Procedure, bent into circles. Justice, a crap shot. If you want to be a trial attorney, go put $50 on black at the roulette table. That will be a much better lesson in the workings of trial lawyering than the tens of thousands spent on law school.

Seriously future litigators - it's fucking insanity out here. I never realized just how insane until this week.
