After 3 years of pretending that I read for class...

The University of Houston Law Center has decided to finally give me a degree.

Let the lawyer jokes begin. :D

Congrats DevilsAdvocate. I was wondering when I would see this thread. Have a job lined up yet?

No job quite yet. :)

I decided this is the one time in my life that it would be socially acceptable to be unemployed. I intend to savor every last moment. ;)

Unless someone out there is willing to employ me :D

on a side note, i believe there a few medical residents on this board... perhaps you can defend them in malpractice suits... or wait outside their doors for customers :D

You know... those ambulances look kinda big and slow, but they are much faster than I previously thought. You gotta get a good running start at them. ;)

Congrats!

Now, pass the bar and you can become a slime sucking bottom feeder;)

As Red Dawn would say: I'm kidding.... I said I'm kidding.

You're a lawyer! That explains everything ;)

I still love my Intellivision T-shirt, and if I get another one, I will post about that one too :p

Well done!
I do not need free legal representation, but I have admired your posts here since you joined.
(Right around the same time as I did, I think).
Best of luck to you, and try to keep your ethics intact!

Can you do a pro-bono case for me? I think I'll have to murder the SOB who made the 75GXP suck.

Congrats! I hope you, as I did, celebrated with a passel of Bombay Sapphire martinis with your classmates after your last exam! I actually really enjoyed BarBri, and the bar exam is no big deal (and this is coming from a California bar member). Relax and enjoy your freedom until the winter, when they start collecting on your student loans!

congrats. I attended Cornell University's law school graduation today...not as a graduate but as a guest. It was funny - the mother of the female class speaker got up on stage along with other relatives of the graduates in order to give them "advice," and she told her daughter "not to sleep with clients."

We have this personal injury lawyer in town, his name is "Bernstein". "If you are hurt in an accident call me, I'll get you the big bucks"

We go to accident scenes where there is NO damage to cars, in fact, the dust on the bumpers is hardly smudged. When the driver that got rear-ended says "Ohhhhhh, my neck hurts...ooohhhhhh, ooohhhhhh" we call it a "Bernstein Fracture".


Personal injury lawyers, Pffffffttttttttt......

Thank God I don't have any student loan debt. The job market sucks ass.

I was definitely not in the top 10 - 20% of the class. I finished around 40% - so no high power job for this nef. :D

I figure if it gets bad, I might just go into the personal injury business. How much would you guys pay me to injure you? ;)
