legal daze

lawyers just *gotta use the bigs words:

"In making admissions decisions, the school gives substantial weight to numerical indicators... Yet numbers alone are not dispositive." - Boalt

here's a gem from the Complete Lawyer.com

"Lawyer Jokes Exist For A Reason -

i.e. just because you're better than everyone else doesn't mean you should act like it.
maybe the problem is believing in something like "superior intellect".

and there's your dose of wisdom from a hopeful law school applicant. (i'm trying to use more sarcasm).
