I Signed Up For This?

I guess a relationship isn't all that important anyway.

It's true that hectic schedules, high performance standards and other pressures of professional life make it especially difficult for lawyers to nurture their intimate relationships. Many remain single or find themselves single again in midlife. Others struggle along with disappointing marriages or other relationships, trying to make the best of their situations. An astonishing number attempt to bury their emotional pain with alcohol, extramarital affairs or the Washington, D.C., addiction of choice: more work.

Lawyers in romantic crisis who make it to the counseling office are the lucky ones. Many others end up as clients for other attorneys specializing in divorce. The incidence of divorce among lawyers is frightening -- the highest of any profession.

The "remain single" seems like the course for me.

Can I Just Get The GED Equivalent For Lawschool?

It's like we're fifth-year seniors. - Brian

So it is with Annie having graduated early, joining the large ranks of those friends from 1L who have since come and gone; the schedule of a 3L such that you don't see those you're accustomed to seeing on a near daily basis for the past two years, which is not necessarily a bad thing; and the general consensus that lawschool goes on for far too long, sums up to the feeling that we're a couple of idiots stuck in school.

Now If the Alleged Cause Was The Onion Volcano

The reason I gave for being away from this was a lie. In truth, I was sequestered as part of the jury that was deciding this case. My civic duty done, I will now return to my regular blogging schedule.

Provided it's like riding a bike.
