From the Single Mom's Law School Experience, then "Almost Attorney" to FINALLY an Esquire!: Is this for real?

Is this for real?

I have an addiction to any court television show. Sometimes they are quite informative, sometimes they are just funny. And then I found this show.....Divorce Court. No kidding. My guess is, without researching, that there is a pending divorce and this "judge" who is really an arbitrator, will settle simple small claims through her court. Either that or these are fictional and these are paid people from the local crazy bin [I know, not very PC, but heck where do they find these people].

Case in point is this video. You have to watch til nearly the end of the 1 minute clip, but it's a doozy. So is this for real? What do you think?

FAQ

Lots of people ask me: how do you do it? How do you attend law school and raise a child alone? My answer is simply that you prioritize. You approach school as an 8 to 5 job. I take Friday evenings and Saturday's off. Study a bit on Sundays. For me this works. It means not being a part of the "social" things at school, and that time between your classes is in the library studying. But that's okay. You will have different goals then the students who are single with no children.

How do you afford it? Student loans........yes, you heard me. My reasoning is that my earning capacity will double, but likely triple, which means that I can afford to take on the debt to pay for a better future for my daughter and I.

Does you daughter resent you studying? No. Sometimes she gets frustrated, but she really does understand the bigger picture. She is my biggest supporter. I have learned to include her by taking her to class with me when I can, by having her help me study with flash cards, and by taking her to appropriate events at school. In fact, I did an incoming student panel one year, and the administration of the school had her speak as well. We are a team, and that includes this journey.
