    Congrats! What type of law will you practice?

    We can always use more lawyers. [​IMG] Just kidding. I can imagine how excited you are after all the work it takes to get to that point.

    Where did you go to law school? Where are you working?
    Just wondering

    It is kinda scary that what doctors and lawyers do is called "practice."

    Just kidding. Congratulations!

    JZ, I went to law school at UT, and am working at a small firm here in Austin for now.

    Thanks for the kind words guys.

    Which firm Sam, if you don't mind me asking. I worked for three years at a mid-level firm, Scott, Douglass & McConnico.

    That's awesome. I'm assuming it took you less chances than JFK, Jr.?

    Well, yes, since I passed it on the first try (somehow). The firm I'm working for is Longley & Maxwell.

    BTW I interviewed with Scott, Douglas once - those are a crazy group of people! They were the only lawfirm that I've heard describe themselves as "kickass".

    They are an odd, odd place. Some cool people, but the higher-ups are not all there.

    Trust me, the place is not "kickass".

    Yep. A big part of the exam asked how to spell "poll". So I'm sorry to say you wouldn't have made it. [​IMG]
