About five years ago, I took the LSAT. It was more of a challenge than a distinct goal at the time, but I was 25, had worked at InsideCounsel magazine for a few years, and thought I’d at least kick around the idea of seeing what the legal world was all about. I studied on my own, took the exam, and while I wouldn’t have gone to a top five law school, I did alright.
So, I asked a few lawyers—including a few GCs, since I was at InsideCounsel—whether going to law school was something I should do. And top to bottom, every single one of them said the same thing: Are you sure you want to do that? Are you really sure?
