Hi there! Post often, and good luck on the Match!!

[Mrs. MD, Esq.]

Thank you for all the warm welcomes...I am looking forward to having an understanding group to commiserate with!

Mrs.BrainSurgeon - my fiancé is doing general surgery (he has not decided if he wants to specialize beyond that). I practice family law (no groans, please)! I can't believe you did two bar exams in 6 months...one was enough to drive me to the edge of insanity!

I practice family law (no groans, please)

Why would anyone groan? You people do God's work--honestly. And everyone I know who practices it has the most incredibly, insane stories--like getting shot at my client's ex-spouses, etc.

Good for you for picking this field! We need great family law lawyers.

Lots of JDs around this site. Welcome!!

[Mrs. MD, Esq.]

I always get a lot of flak for practicing family law...but in all honestly, I love it. It puts you in a position to help people that are really going through a really miserable time. It's nice to watch someone grow and have them realize that they're going to have a new life (and that it's okay to move on and be happy). Plus, you get to learn a little about a lot of different areas of law since no two cases are ever the same!

And we do get the insane stories. Thank god nothing of a violent nature has happened to me (and I hope it never does), but I have heard some crazy stories...

Welcome! You'll find lots of surgical spouses here as well spouses with high powered careers!

Let us know how the match goes!

Um, wow! My DH did GS while I worked for as a judicial clerk in a court that did more family law than anything else. Interesting little quinkydink....
