More Law Questions
Jul. 9th, 2008 11:34 amThank you everybody for the insights about the study of law, yesterday. I'm able to formulate some more specific questions out of those discussions.
I did find quite a bit of info that ENTPs enjoy being lawyers. That's amusing. It's second on the list for ENTPs. It's on the list for other types, but always much further down.
Two big things that I'm wondering:
I realize that every lawer has different work, but what's been your experience or that of lawyers that you know/work with?
I do best with people. But I can be happy behind a computer if projects have immediate deadlines, are short, and I can't put off stuff until tomorrow, next week, etc. If I have a heavy deadline, I'll meet it, but I want that deadline, or that shove, or a bunch of meetings with clients, etc.
As for classes, if the classes are tough and intense, I'm actually likely to do better. It's when I think I can slack that I have trouble. It was the classes that had the reputation for being the most difficult that I did well in, in college (and HS, for that matter).
One more question:
If I studied, say, three hours a day on a train (with laptop), would that get me anywhere near where I needed to be (during non exam times)?

Two big things that I'm wondering:
- Is the work (not the school) mostly behind a computer, or working with other people?
- Are lawyers working on projects (again, work, not school) that have immediate deadlines, or soft deadlines that are months and months away?
