ahhh....the good ol days

you know, a hundred years ago, you didnt have to go to law school to become a lawyer. you could apprentice with a lawyer, and then just like THAT you became a lawyer. none of this $5million/year thing. none of this, sit in a classroom for 2 hours while your professor lectures. none of this, study your ass off to take an unrealstic closed-book three hour exam to try and parse out the issues and rules, which will be so convoluded that people who arent good at taking tests and do better at taking their time and writing a paper are going to FAIL FAIL FAIL. people actually got hands-on EXPERIENCE. they didnt sit all day learning abstract theories and overruled holdings of cases from 1846BC. there was a practicalness that was employed. and then they were lawyers...

of course, women weren't exactly allowed to do that...but whatever, that's not the point.

i think we should bring the apprentice-ship back, and allow women.
