Law Vibe

From Buffalo Dawg:

We are now about 10 weeks into the first semester and I’ve figured out most of the law school mysteries. There are two characteristics of the law school that still seem a bit strange:

1. The pseudo-celebrity status of the law school professors:

They are the only big fish in the law school pond. While they are talented, intelligent people, it seems that One-Ls are a bit too much in awe over them. A few have started having students sign up to eat lunch with them and those time slots are always full. I couldn’t imagine this happening with any of my professors in past programs. To continue with the high school analogy, perhaps the professors have replaced the football captains and cheerleaders at the top of the social hierarchy.

2. Business casual during classes:

While they are in the minority, a few people dress up like they are going to work. Why? Three years from now we’ll all have to wear suits everyday. You should enjoy the last few years that it will be acceptable to roll out of bed and head to class looking like a bum.
