You are in for a rude surprise, dude. Being a lawyer is much harder than law school. That includes being a public defender.
Your question was limited to how I think reading cases in law school is different than reading cases in the field I'm interested in. And I guess you're disagreeing with me? Interesting take. I don't think I've ever heard someone take that stance.
And I'm not sure that I was going for the "tried-and-true tactic" that you speak of. I emphasized it because this is the geographical area I will be practicing in, and this is where my experience was. I'm sure that there are offices in areas that have less volume, and thus different practices.
But okay. I'm eagerly awaiting my rude surprise.
