Being a great lawyer is walking a fine line of being verbally assertive and sometimes aggressive, without ever needlessly burning bridges.

A good lawyer knows the law, but a great lawyer has a paralegal who knows the law even better.

If a lawyer does a job in 29 minutes it's because they spent 9 years learning how to do it in 29 minutes. You pay us for the years, not for the minutes.

Being a litigation attorney is hard because you're fighting against the opposing attorney, the court, and sometimes against your client if they are non-cooperative and hiding important facts about the case.

Lots of law students dream of being litigation hotshots or corporate cash grabbers, but they’re so misguided. Those jobs are stressful and time-sucking! In-house attorney is the cool job—less stress, and hey, more chill days to walk the dog or whatever!

There is a misconception that all lawyers are overpaid and rich, when in reality, many lawyers are underpaid considering the amount of work they do and the stress they deal with.

Many law students assume a law degree guarantees a job, especially a high-paying one. Law schools should clarify that this isn't the case.

Practicing law is the best way to make someone want to become a housewife or a gardener.

I used to think that practicing law was one crisis after another, but I was wrong. Practicing law is more like managing multiple crises all at once, perpetually forever.

Lawyers be like: Did I become a lawyer because I like helping people, or because I hate math, or because lawyers are cool in TV shows? Honestly, all those reasons kinda stink.

Being a practicing lawyer isn't just about knowing the law, it's about being a master communicator. You need to simplify legal terms for your clients and persuade opposing attorneys and judges to see things your way. It's all about effective communication!

Why is it so hard to break into the legal profession as a first-generation lawyer without any connections? It's like going to an exclusive VIP night club without a pass and hoping to enter.

Lawyers are the ultimate answer dodgers. We can turn a simple 'it depends' into a 30-minute debate. It's an art form.

The biggest pro of being a lawyer is that you can answer almost every question with 'it depends' and not be wrong, because most legal rules have exceptions.

Law schools don't teach us how to acquire paying clients or market a law firm. It's as if they expect us all to be pro bono lawyers, struggling financially.

As a lawyer, it's easy to let work consume your life. But remember, on Sundays, break free from the legal chains and immerse yourself in the fulfilling roles of a housewife, gardener, or handyman. Being anything but a lawyer for a day can be so therapeutic.

Many lawyers are disappointed with their jobs and the legal profession, not achieving what they dreamt of in law school. However, a law degree and legal career can still lead to great success for those who truly want it.

Because lawyering is extra stressful in comparison to some other job, lawyers should have at least 3 off days to recover and recharge.

Law schools can have a doubling effect on bad character traits. If you're an annoying person pre-law school, after law school you're likely to become a super annoying lawyer.

There should be law school classes about how to avoid relatives and friends who have "a quick legal question."

Law schools don't teach practical stuff, justifying it by saying, 'We are not here to teach you how to be a lawyer; we teach you how to think as a lawyer.' That sounds a bit scammy, to say the least.

Many lawyers enter the legal profession with a desire to help people and change the world, but end up disillusioned with the system and people. Perhaps a better goal is to provide high-quality legal service to clients while helping yourself and your loved ones.

Lawyers deal with people's worst problems all day, so if they seem a little sarcastic and prickly, it's just their way of coping. It's difficult to put on a happy face after reading 50 pages of divorce papers.
