"You go through grueling law school, take the bar twice, and then only practice for four years? Right."

She's not the first I've seen do that. The grind and pressure for billable hours makes many just want to walk away from it. It can be a lot of work for not a whole lot of money.

Some folks are cut out to be attorneys and others are not. Depends on how much mental punishment you are willing to take. Law school teaches you the subjects and how to pass the bar but even after you graduate you are forced to spend about a grand on a bar review to pass the test. And law school does not teach you how to actually practice law.

I went into prosecution after a year being a scrub at a firm for about a year, and I learned more about being an attorney sending bad guys to prison, committing crazies civilly and terminating the parental rights of bad parents than I ever did in private practice. Now I’m a private attorney again and actually know something about the practice of law and it’s like night and day.

Again, this was not the case, she was foced to surrender or face an impending a.d certain Public Trial! She was Forced to Surrender her License “Voluntarily!” There is a wealth of Information on the Internet on this case and the writer obviously missed alot of the serious information on the situation.The major point is that the Infraction she was accused of was obviously so serious that she chose NOT to stand Trial and attempt to prove that she was Innocent:-)
