Did Dylan McDermott Make Me Do It?

We have no idea what drew us toward the law. Was it all those episodes of "The Practice" we watched in high school? (Dylan McDermott was such a hottie!) Maybe it was our desire to get in a courtroom and work magic like some kind of Matlock? (Not such a hottie.) Or perhaps it was the tailored business suits and expensive slingbacks that we desperately wanted to don? Or it's possible that it was just our insatiable need to use our analytical skills, persuasive abilities and legal knowledge to represent others in the interest of justice.

We can't exactly pin point what made us want to begin careers in the law... but we now here we are... with our law school diplomas framed in our offices and forging our way through countless briefs and bustling courtrooms and dirty law libraries.

When we began our endeavor to study the law, we had no idea what was in store for us. We experienced the same things that every law student has experienced at one time or another: insane law professors, ridiculous hours in the library, debates over the meaning of a single word in a statute, memo writing until midnight and the inane competition that comes with being a student of the law.

When we began our legal careers, again we were faced with the unknown: billable hours, entertaining clients, engaging with the opponent, and oh yeah, the entire practice of law.

We hope to use this blog as a venue to share our experiences, proffer advice and sometimes vent or ramble about our perceptions of the legal profession. Please share your stories, comments, etc. with us. Stay tuned...
