This isn't a trial or a draft where you'd get paid for the hours you do.

It's attitudes like this which is why depression and mental illness rates are sky high amongst law students.

No, it’s not, and that’s a very flippant comment. If you’re doing law for the money, you’re definitely in the wrong place. A lot of people are simply not cut out for law; it’s a very exacting profession. That’s not an elitist point of view but rather a statement of fact. If you pass out at the sight of blood, odds are that you’re not going to make it as a surgeon.
