You Are Not Entitled to Anything
A. Harrison Barnes | Dated: 11-19-2008

One of the greatest traps people fall into is believing they are entitled to something based on what they have done in the past or are capable of doing. An even greater trap is believing that you are entitled to something for nothing. Incredible as it may seem, most of the people in the working world I have seen throughout the years have a sense of entitlement. Rather than helping you, a sense of entitlement holds you back.

People who believe you are entitled to something–a parent, an employer, a union, a government, or someone else–are offering you a Faustian bargain.

Summers Keep their Nose Clean
By Stony Olsen

  Every year, there are plenty of summer associates who get their promising career at a nice law firm put in the trash because of stupid antics.  But this year, summers seem to be keeping their noses pretty much clean.  Unlike in years past, there does not seem to be many incidents that make career service offices use them as examples of what not to do.  In the past, there have been examples of summer associates who get drunk and slapped in bars by women--while the partner watches in horror.  That...

Rachelle Ann Beal: 1L with Criminal Law Interests
By Mahsa Khalilifar

''Ever since I was little, I either wanted to become a doctor or a lawyer,'' says 23-year-old Rachelle Ann Beal. She finally made a decision some years back between the two and is now venturing through her first year at the University of La Verne College of Law.

"In high school I volunteered at a hospital and didn't like it at all," she recalls. "Then in high school I joined Mock Trial, and we visited law firms and courthouses, and that was what helped me decide on this career path."

University of Pennsylvania Law School, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
By Akbar Ali

Tracing its origins back to the beginning of American national law, the University of Pennsylvania Law School is one of the nation's most historic and prestigious legal education institutions, emphasizing its long history of cross-disciplinary education and cultural diversity. Established in 1790, the school offers one of the most comprehensive collections of law degrees available at any American law university. This top-tier law school also prides itself on something not often acknowledged by competitive law schools: its environment of congeniality, which in the ''City of Brotherly Love'' is fitting.
