please share your journey from having backs + private college to T1firm. Really struggling at this point.

Thank you for stating the truth. I was an econ student prior to my 3 year LLB and one shocker was the absolute volumes of pointless legal research. Most pieces published in law journals are utterly useless and mere thought pieces. There's no hard quantitative data that's being analysed to provide results. The author is just borrowing stuff from other established authors.

I don't even think it can be termed as "research". Real research involves gathering primary data/setting up experiments/lab research, etc. Lawyers want to pat themselves on the back for having opinions.
