GamerDude's first "taste" of law school was through the movie The Paper Chase, and the title of this episode is a quote from that movie. This week, GamerDude talks about how this Professor Kingsfield line is entirely accurate, and he discusses how law school changes how you think, and teaches you how to "think like a lawyer." 
GamerDude talks about the process of learning to think like a lawyer.  He talks about the types of courses you take in law school, from torts, to contracts, to Constitutional law.  He talks about the work load, and how attendance at class was so important.  He talks about the tremendous amount of reading and note-taking there is in law school, and how an outline of an entire semester's class is necessary to have any hope of passing a final.  And, he talks about the infamous "Socratic method" that was used quite liberally during his days in law school, and how it all helped teach him to learn how to think like a lawyer.
