You go through grueling law school, take the bar twice, and then only practice for four years? Right.

I thought the 1st wookie was as brilliant as her husband. A Harvard law degree and she fails the Illinois bar the first time? That should tell you something about her intellectual and legal abilities right there.

I went to a non-Ivy law school (actually a good Jesuit institution) and passed the MI bar on the 1st try. The bar exam is 2 months of putting your life on hold.

She's not the first I've seen do that. The grind and pressure for billable hours makes many just want to walk away from it. It can be a lot of work for not a whole lot of money.

I graduated Columbia Law in 2003. Most of the people I know from school have left law. It’s quite common.

Actually, most attorneys practice less than five years. This is for two key reasons.

1. Burnout.

2. The majority of law students are women. Call it sexist but mommy track does exist. They might return to practice when the kids get older but many never do.

She graduated from Harvard Law School and she flunked the bar exam the first time? I never heard that before. If this had happened to a Republican candidate, or his wife or kid or dog, it would be all over the MSM.
