The Law School Journey: A Tale In Four Images

It's meme time.

It’s time again to check in on some of the best content being produced by the brave men and women of Law School Memes For Edgy T14s. These law students risk an embarrassing cold call every day to produce high-quality memes for the world. As always, we’ll not name the creators so they won’t have their digital footprint attached to Above the Law —- you never know what an interviewer might think when a Google search points to this website — unless they reach out and ask to be acknowledged.

Now this is going to keep me up at nights.

This is less funny “ha ha” than funny “boo hoo.”

Remember, if you need help and support, there are plenty of resources out there for you.

This next one… wow.

So Amber Guyger had hoped she’d avoid punishment for gunning down her neighbor by arguing that the Castle Doctrine applied because she thought she was in her home.

And, since it’s Halloween, we’ll close on this cute tribute.

Happy Halloween.
