1.Don’t ever go into law to become rich… we are subject to the same fluctuations of the economy like everyone else. (bad times= clients don’t pay)
2. I would not advise starting a family while in law school… although if you are the daddy to be instead of the mommy, be much easier. The least distractions and responsibilities the better (good ground rule). I saw a couple of women who had a couple of babies while in law school. One passed the Bar right away.. the others still (years later) are not licensed.

it depends. law can be a well paid field but there are many attorneys who can’t get work at all. lots of people have done law school (at night) while they had a family but your spouse has to kind of take the load (take care of the kids & most everything). there are many law school at night programs, it just takes longer.

Unless your are super rich supporting a family and going to law school would be one of the hardest things you ever did especially if you decide to have children.
