      Not all students are this eloquent. These are the top students among Harvard Law peers looking to argue their case in court (to be litigators). Speaking eloquently on the spot is their main weapon. One can also be a non-litigation lawyer which requires a different set of skills - basically to avoid situations where one or a company has to go to court to argue a case.

      @Texan Distributist Here in Canada The reason why we don't do that is bc of Canada's "sixtys scoop" & residential school history of attempting to assimilate Indian children by taking away their native identity all together. native children should be placed with native ppl otherwise they can and will lose their identity which can and will cause a deep rooted sense of never belonging which is the gateway to Addiction and suicide. So I would disagree with you. in Canada We cannot adopt out native children to non native familes bc of the assimilation history in which the goal was to "Kill the Indian in the child". America was no different. If anything America is behind. That Child should have never been given to the caldwells to begin with. It speaks to the problem America has with not caring enough for its first nations people.

Law is interesting because it deals a lot with cases and between you and me, I have to make sense of all of these things by writing it down re organizing it on pen and paper until I have all the things certain just for me to begin to proceed further. Most of the time I have had to negotiate with my "inner self" to come to an agreement to work together with me - me if that makes sense haha! Then there's the researching needed and the readings to complement it. But this is only just the beginning because after all this you gotta look at the issues and then start dissecting further if you missed anything ladidadiDA!

      @@selmafryen6486 no, I have never regretted studying law. The law school was probably one of the best times in my life. I was hungry for knowledge. The education is fantastic, but the job as a lawyer sucks, long hours and don’t forget you must deal with someone else’s problems. In the beginning it seems interesting, but after a while it gets boring.

If smart with personal finance, the big law lawyers can pay off their loans in 6 - 8 years, assuming you take the entire Harvard tuition of $321,000 as loan. In real life, very few people take the entire amount as loan and the payback period could be shorter.

That would be a great world I think, but people have to serve for a corporation whether they want to or not. If anything, working for any corporate place you have to work for, you can eventually create something genuine of your own one day once you have money saved and want to do something about it. The road will be difficult but that's life. You gotta go through the grunt work before you call the shots.
