I don’t usually post top ten lists, or humor, but it is Christmas. So here is some light amusement for the week of Christmas. Here are ten social advantages to having a law degree, courtesy of Above the Law:

  1. You’ll Be A Lot Of Fun At Parties.
  2. Cops LOVE Hearing About Your Rights.
  3. But At Least You’ll Be Able To Understand When Your Rights Are Taken Away.
  4. Reading Fine Print Is Fun.
  5. Arguing With People Is A Great Way To Make Friends And Get Laid.
  6. People Will Ask You For Legal Advice, For Free, All The Time.
  7. Mommy and Daddy Will Be Really Proud.
  8. You’ll Just Love Law School, Almost Inexplicably, Because…
  9.  You’ll Never Be Wrong Again.
  10. You Get To Read Above the Law (the blog that made up this list).

Read the full post here, with expositions and examples of each fine benefit.
