I’m a second year law student looking to get into sports law. Any thoughts? First off, it’s not really a type of law. Sounds cool, I know. “Sports Law.” In fact, I wanted to get into it too. Until I realized it didn’t really exist. It’s like wanting to get into Santa Claus law. It’s [...]
I’m looking forward to practicing when I graduate from law school, but there’s just one problem. My grades suck.
I’m in love with this senior associate I’m working with. He’s super-cute, super-smart and super-married.
