A Frightening Reality
They let 24-year-olds be lawyers.
Really.
I just read a 24-year-old's blog and she's ordered her cap and gown.
Now, before you start in on me being some kind of age bigot, let me just say, that I bet most 24 year-olds about to graduate from law school are 1) really smart and 2) just as amazed as I am that they are about to be let loose as attorneys in the real world (after passing the dreaded bar, of course). I will likely be amazed when they let me loose, as well. (I'll beat my smartass classmates to the punch and say, "I know, you will be amazed, too.)

as a 33 year old momma law student - i also cannot believe it. i can't believe it as i sit in class every day. or rather, sit in the library, and overhear some of the conversations that go on amongst the 24 year olds.
i have heard that there are whispers of a trend that law schools are right now looking for and thinking of requiring applicants who have at least 2 years of work experience in between undergrad and law school.
I truly believe that would be wise.
