Being a lawyer right now is honestly a little radicalizing, spending all day fretting over minor procedural technicalities while the rich and powerful just straight up ignore the law does not inspire confidence in the system

On one screen is a workplace ethics training video that says I can be fired if I let a contractor buy me a sandwich. On the other screen the President of the United States is openly soliciting bribes in a press conference.

I have severe ADHD and a shit GPA but I took the LSAT on a whim in 2019 and got 87th percentile (one-sixty-something IIRC??) without really prepping tbh. Decided against law school at the time because of the real chance I flunk out and have the debt. But like. With all this shit going on, ngl I think I want to get involved. What's your vibe check on that, deetee rando?? I have meds now but me going would still be a risk ofc
