Joe: Lawyers Are Better Than Us?

Joe Butler (re: “Masses overrate Gonzaga Law School”) : Several years ago I attended a friend’s graduation from GU’s law school. The speaker essentially told the grads that they were better than everyone else in the room at that moment because they struggled so hard for 3 years. I’m sure it was inspiring to the folks in the chairs, and it really does seem to be a great program, but the message was a little strange to the rest of us schmoes in the stands, many who more than likely have had their own professional challenges and accomplishments, or parents/spouses who faciliated the grads being able to do what they did.

Question: Do you ever wish that you’d become a lawyer?
