As you may know, my boy is planning to attend law school. I've told him about my experiences, and given him advice, yet he still wants to do it.
To that end, he's been reading book after book about what law school is like, what to expect, what to do to get admitted.
He recently rented A Lawyer Walks Into A Bar, and apparently watched it recently. He told me about the stories presented. We moved our conversation about the movie to what it was like when people told me about others who failed, or failed and then passed. I told him that it never helped to hear about others' experiences, because taking the bar was all about me. He pointed out just how selfish I sounded. I laughed, if only because I know and he yet does not.
I finally said, "When you're there, you will pay for that comment."
Just wait...

The only advice you can give to someone bull-headed enough to want to go to law school, even despite what I KNOW were cautionary tales, is to start studying for the bar now. Get familiar with the MBE, and it'll help with the first year classes.
But I'm with you: why the hell would any rational person want to go to law school after hearing what you/I would have to say?
Best of luck, boy.
