I've grown very accustomed to the fine art of information regurgitation and BS. Really, most of my academic career has consisted of throwing out whatever I know that relates to the subject, however remotely. Worst case, you guess. Above all, you make it sound like you know what you're talking about.
This is a decent strategy for a test, when its better to have something on the page than nothing, and close counts. However, in the real world it is apparently not a good idea to just guess confidently when giving legal advice to people.* No, you actually have to be sure that what you're doing is right. Thank heavens life is open-book. This may take some getting used to.
*For the sake of making me continue to seem somewhat competent, I should point out that I didn't actually give anyone made-up legal advice. I'm far to terrified to do anything that bold (and stupid). My supervisor just said something, and it got me to thinking. No malpractice 'round here.
haha I remember this transition well! It's hard to tone down the school BS. :)
