Description
Three-year JD ($150k–$250k debt), bar exam (the most dreaded professional licensing exam in America), and the bimodal salary distribution where BigLaw pays $215k+ starting and everyone else starts at $50k–$70k. The honest assessment of legal careers beyond BigLaw and courtroom drama-most lawyers never see a courtroom. Contract review is the reality. Perry Mason was fiction.
