Why do law students think they are so special?

I work for lawyers and every summer a law student will clerk at our office.  Law students like to treat the paralegals and legal assistants like we are trash. They get drunk on the idea that we HAVE to help them and think they weild some power over us.  But, the problem is not exclusive to law students.  They get worse after they pass the bar.  Lawyers are some of the most hateful people to work for.  If you think your peers are bad now, wait till they start working at a big firm....they turn into even bigger a-holes!

You are both beautiful and I sympathise with you.  When I was studying law, I nearly had a nervous breakdown with contract law and anything to do with admin.  I admire you both.  If it was me, I would do ANYTHING to avoid getting the head down!!

I have reared my children to be compassionate people, but to stand on their own feet and to have tremendous integrity.  I have devoted a substantial part of my law practice to working on pro bono matters for indigent clients. Finally, I mentor inner-city high school students, diverse college students, and others.  On my best days, I get to do some of all of that.

they're jealous....if u happen to be extremely smart, others\nmight think ur arrogant....and maybe you are. your question doesn't have the most humble tone to it. others might think u are trying to brag by knowing so many of the answers....and i know that bragging is definitely not an attractive trait. \nkeep in mind that no one is always right, and u need to be open minded of other people's strengths and weaknesses....think about that some more.

Could it be?  Yes?  Would it likely be?  No.  As a jurist myself I can tell you my own experience, which I believe to be common.\n\nFirst, law school does not breed independent thinkers, creativity, etc.  It's all about learning how to do legal research on precedent.  Second, when you hear that lawyers who seek to succeed in their business today spend somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 hours per week at their jobs, for up to the first 10 years of their career, know that this is not an exaggeration.\n\nNow, as far as your creative license goes, while the field you choose to practice in is important, all lawyers are very limited in what they can practically do and argue in each case.  Analytical thinking is important, but don't go into law thinking that you'll get a 'Law and Order', 'LA Law', etc. type case more than once in a lifetime, if that.  For the most part law is a dry, unforgiving, but lucrative business.  In my experience, the best lawyers are the people that would make they best, most cut-throat of business-people in different circumstances.\n\nI myself went in for the money.  I left early on when I realize that I would be good and rich, but utterly unhappy.  I went the academic route instead and now am much happier.  It's more important to ask yourself what your priorities are in life (what makes you happy?  Money?  Family? Relaxation?) than reading tea leaves as to potential careers.  Pay attention to the classes you truly enjoy.  It may be that you'll fall in love with photography, or chemistry, you just never know.  Just don't box yourself in too early.  Good luck.

There is nothing different about them that is different from you. One thing I realized in college was that I was just as popular as everyone else. I think in middle/high school you spend to much time looking at others rather than paying attention to yourself. Everyone is popular in their own way.

Look hon, what they are saying is just ridiculous, honestly they are just jealous because you are smarter than they are.....the fact that you are smarter is not something to be ashamed of, for now, it may make it difficult for you in school, but think about it, in the long run, who is going to be better off, you for being smarter, or them for being immature and nasty? I think it will be you......ignore them, study hard, and get a great job, that will provide for you for the rest of your life.....

Very clever people can be off-putting, even frightening.  But I think geniuses don't have it so bad; they get to think about, sometimes even discover, things that the rest of us can't even imagine.  I know I envy them at least as much as I pity them.

Because they think everyone is looking at them.  They are full of themselves.  They are too engrossed in their surroundings and who is looking at them.

I didn't attend law school but the campus is beautiful and their academic programs are first rate.  Also, if you're not familiar with the city it is full of history.  It also has a top notch night life and is very beautiful.

Lawyers appreciate the assistance that paralegals do for them a lot!!  Without the legwork and research that they put in, building cases would be very difficult and time consuming.

I'm no lawyer or doctor, but my guess would be that perhaps they feel like they've either been through enough school and experience to talk down to you or else they are of the attitude that they've heard your case a million times and you're just another SOB story to them.

Why does this questions imply that people are just "average"?  Everyone has a special quality that makes them - different.  However, to answer your question more directly - qualities that are special that enhance an individual's character are respectfulness, consideration, being able to understand others, and not taking anything for granted.  Particularly allowing others to take oneself for granted.
