Im not sure but I doubt it.
This is the problem with law school....how do you know if its the wrong path? Say you decide that the schooling part absolutely sucks...which it does
so you drop out....when in fact you may have loved the actual working as a lawyer part...well, now you will never know
And further, say you love everything about lawschool, do well and compelete the program...there is a very high chance that you will loath practicing law despite having loved the schooling part...
fact is that law school and practicing law have nothing in common except the reading/analyzing/learning aspect. Law school does help prepare you to "think like a lawyer" as they say...but after the first year..you will still have NO idea what real world work is like until a real lawyer hands you a ****load of work and says "get this done for me asap!" and then you stay up all night doing it, day after day after day after day after day after day after day
Many of the students I knew that really did well, and went on to have "satisfying" careers as lawyers, were older students who had real world experience working around lawers or in law firms in some capacity, or perhaps in the insurance industry....
for example, a non-lawyer but licensed Workers' Compensation representative who works a few years doing similar work that lawers do, handling cases at hearings etc.... but then decides to go become a lawyer for whatever reason. Thats the type of person that knows what to expect and does well
your typical 20 year old entering lawschool, such as myself, has NO clue. Television does not realistically represent what lawyers do from day to day or how much money they make.
On a positive note, even if a person never worked as a lawyer, but finished the education, that education would be very helpful to one's intellectual development. Honestly, I hated every damn second of lawschool and even thinking about it 11 years later makes me want to puke...but I can honestly say I learned a ****load about the world and how it works and occasionally, found a topic to be very interesting...such as constitutional law
