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?
"Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
The Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
==============================================================================================================================================
Depends on what you want to do. If you want to build a litigation doing trials as well (which is important, especially for people without legal background, since a lot of people would approach you first on the original side - think "My brother got arrested last night" or "My cheque has bounced" - those situations would be more common, especially for younger lawyers, than "Here's an RSA for you").
And if you don't know what you want to do, which court, as long as you emerge successful in litigation, then the remainder of the above-quote is also relevant:
"The Cheshire Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.
Alice: ...So long as I get somewhere.
The Cheshire Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough"
==================================================================================================================================================================================
If you're serious about litigation, don't quit after a short period of time. After putting in long hours & getting peanuts, you might feel that it's not worth it. It's imperative you carry on. It gets better, eventually. Cheers.
