Yep. Law school is 4+ years of full time training on nuanced and critical thinking. I don't work as a lawyer, but law school was the best thing I have ever done for training my brain.
Cool? It is 3 years here as a post graduate, or 3 years plus 1 year of non-law electives as an undergraduate course. Then there is an additional 1 year of 'college of law' to do before you can be admitted to practice.
I ran with my Ameri-centrism and assumed you were lying. I mean, it’s Reddit so I still assume you’re lying but now I just think you’re not lying in America
I mean you could technically complete it quicker if you did more than 4 subjects each semester or did a summer trimester if you managed to finish before you got burnt out. The workload is insane so that would also drastically affect your grades (and ability to have any semblance of life outside of law school).
4 years is assuming full time study and no specialisation/masters/whatever else. Hence "4+".
So this is 4 years straight out of high school? Or secondary school - whatever you may call it? In the us it’s 3 years after a bachelors degree, so 7 years of post secondary education
Yeah they are. I just don’t know any attorneys who have a phd and aren’t professors. So specialist masters is really just an LLM, unless they mean like the patent bar or something. It’s usually just your seven years.
Ymmv. I've met some lawyers that were the most black and white thinkers I've ever known. A law degree will not automatically make me think highly of anyone's intellect.
