Law School Ruined Me
Canadian. Lawyer. I once believed law school was a beautiful place, full of energetic learners and dreamers. People who wanted to change the world. Instead, I discovered that law school takes those people, squishes them into small balls, kicks them around for fun, and then demands a fee for “services rendered.” I used to be a nice person. Honestly. And then I went to law school. This blog comes with a caveat - no one likes to bitch more than law students. - and I operate this space solely in my personal capacity and not in my capacity as anyone’s lawyer. Please don’t disbar me over a joke. All gifs are used for humour and reaction purposes and are not created by me. Let’s face it, my only talent is being snarky.
