See... this proves my previous point.
Everyone gets so concerned and antsy about what law school is: best, most prestigious, distinguished, respected, esteemed, eminent, august, highly regarded, well-thought-of, acclaimed, authoritative, celebrated, illustrious, leading, renowned.
I mean it's just the product of extreme insecurity. You see, a certain type of person is attracted to law and then does well at it. These people are often not confortable with themselves, feel a great sense of inferiority, are never satisfied or happy with their achievements, and, if not already, will probably experience mental health problems, namely severe depression.
Take old mate who couldn't blow UTS' horn any harder. What was he really getting at? Ultimately he was just trying to talk himself up and make himself feel good about his decisions/position. With this attitude you are likely to be really disappointed when you can't get a highly sought after clerkship/grad job etc. The market for lawyers is saturated, everyone does it any there are so few jobs. I'm sorry for being cruel, But, you're not fooling anyone.
Can't we all just overcome this competitive crap to come together and collaborate to create the greatest thesaurus in the western english speaking world. We could practice our alliteration too.
Law is good to study, but accept it as just that.
Peace and love
