Being a 3L in Law School is a Strange Thing


From Shelley’s Case: 

It is strange to enjoy the priority registration period as a rising 3L. It sounds even kind of funny for me to say “3L” because it was always “those upperclassmen” and “absentee students” — and in a few months, I am going to be one of those “3L’s.” So strange, so very strange.

I suppose being a 3L would be pretty much the same as a 2L — interviewing for better jobs, taking some more bar classes, etc, etc. The only other difference I could see is that I would be able to get the best lockers in school (not that I ever used mine since my first year) and that I would be able to take 2-3 classes reserved only for 3L’s. Oh, of course, there is the whole thing about being scared about the Bar Exam, but that I have a whole year to get over that.
