How about we just limit this thread to questions?
Line: 285 to 285
 The only question i would add, has to do with resources. There are a lot of questions about how to work outside a firm and still get paid enough, but i am more worried about how to work outside a big firm and have the resources to compete with such a firm. I would love to be a public defender, but they frequently don't have the resources to win their cases. At a firm, i'd get to take fewer pro bono cases, but i'd likely win more of the cases i got to take. That might be an oversimplification, but my question would be: What is the comparison between the resources of a law firm and other resources available, and how much does it affect success rates in court?

How can I reconcile a distaste for the grade race with a real desire to have the experience of doing a clerkship?

How great is the danger of becoming "pigeonholed" in one area of the law (such as criminal defense)?

How important is class selection while in law school? If I accidentally fail to take classes in an area that I later find out I want to practice, will that hurt me?

How (specifically) does one go about starting and funding a non-profit law firm?
