We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Of course, don’t sit to memorise all of it - but know where to look for when doing a deliverable. Nothing can prepare you for this. It’s either for you or it’s absolutely not. Not everyone’s cup of tea. If you don’t understand it and lose interest in it then it’s not for you and your fresher year is the best time to switch. But it takes time and patience. If you still can’t find enough fucks to give within 6 months then quit - and I say this with a lot of optimism. If you think the grass is greener on the other side, then it probably is.
Also, like, chill out until you start off. Don’t bother trying to prepare for a job you can easily learn while you’re at it. You’re not going to get this time back. Live your life. Take YOLO-ing seriously. Time is money and every moment is costly.
