You and your daughter should read this web site for about two weeks. It is a blog and there are some pretty crass comments, but it will give you a good idea of the costs and risks of going to law school.
Thanks!
Disagree. People whine on ATL. That's what they do. They whined in 04-06 when lawyer salaries were going up every week (because their firms weren't matching fast enough or leading the way) and now they whine about firms laying off or not paying as much.
There is a lot to be cynical about in the practice of law, but I disagree that ATL is a good representation of anything.
