Huh. This is disjointed isn’t it? Well, when have I ever offered a direct line from point A to point B? So much has happened while this has been dormant. I’m going to law school! I’m moving to a new city! The back of my mind has some neurons or something that are freaking out. But the rest of my slightly overcaffeinated brain is just cruisin’.

I told Mihir that I thought Janet was making a monumental mistake in going to law school. I’ve told Janet not to go to law school several times, but when she asked for a reason, I failed her by having nothing to offer her but my visceral reaction to being in law school at the moment.

I don’t have more lucid thoughts to offer at this time. I had a conversation the other day with a friend who’s a labor attorney. She works at a big law firm. We got on the conversation of why there are a large number of female attorneys and summer associates working in her group. She said that a co-worker suggested that labor work is touchy-feely stuff, which women dig. But she pointed out that what they do as big firm attorneys is to crush sex/race discrimination claims, not touch and feel them. In fact, the opposite might be true: labor & employment is one of the coldest and most heartless practices, which is why it is chosen by female attorneys.
