1. the question were soley a matter of law;
2. being in law school had any relevance to the question;
3. the level of the education were of a caliber to influence the opinion on a question, e.g., the opinion of a 1st year student verus a student in their final semester; even then, it would also only matter if the student was a 'specialist' in the relevant legal field (Constitutional law rather than tort law, for example...)

Quite frankly, I would rather take the opinion of full-fledged, experienced doctor over a 1st year medical student. This is not intended as a rip against you or your ambitions; I respect people who choose to take the challenge of a difficult field. But, don't mistake knowledge for expertise, and, conversely, don't mistake expertise for absolute knowledge...

As an aside, this reminds me of the psychology students I have known over the years who, after having started taking a few classes, attempt to psychoanalyze their friends and family; you wish them the best, but you also wish they would wait until they actually knew their profession...

haha those were great skits

Well that is not how I meant to come across but felt it was relevant to mention at times and still believe it is.
