Starry eyed dreamers continue to consider law school. One of my sorors posted this on Facebook: "...... thinking about law school. I see law everywhere I am. All the products I use (copyrights, trademarks, consumer safety) to driving down the street (city, county laws) to even being on social media (privacy and communication laws).
