That`s one hell of a penalty though isn`t it? What is law school, 7 years? Then you have to pass the bar? It just amazes me why anyone could be that self destructive as to risk all that for just a little bit of press and/or attention.
This is what makes our country great though, anytime corruption even shows a fraction of the whites of its eyes, that thing is SLAMMED right the hell down! These SOB`s are weeded right out and kicked right out on their arses.
Now if only our own Senate could follow suit. Corruption is ridiculous in our own Congress and to me the weeding out isn`t even close to what it could be (see Kennedys, Clintons, ect ect) Put it this way; They vote themselves pay raises! Wouldn`t you love to have a government job where you could do that?
Full time law school is 3 years. If you pass the bar, you are ready to practice. There are no required internships as for doctors.
