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.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
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.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Instead, I want to express my gratitude to everyone who commented on my post. I'd been on LI for about a year before posting that sob story, so I had a sense of how this forum could be. But there were also moments when I saw incredibly supportive comments. That post was more of a cry for help, fueled by the stress of the exam a week away, and I ended up typing it all out.
The comments I received were beyond helpful—the supportive ones urging me to give my best in the final 10 days, and even the trollish ones. I still remember one comment saying that I'd be a great lawyer because of the humorously long, substance-less paragraph I'd written. When I reread my post the next day, I felt a bit pathetic for going on and on about something so small. That "trollish" comment (if you can call them that) along with a few other ones revealed to me how insignificant it was in the grand scheme of things.
Contrary to what I wanted to do, I think I've rambled on for pretty long in this one as well haha. I've secured an AIR in the lower triple-digits and I'll be committing to NLSIU. This probably wouldn't be possible without LI because knowing me I'd probably still be sulking about the poor mock score I had gotten a week prior going into the examination lol. Thank you LI ♥🥰
