During the first few weeks of law school, there are a few promises that we make ourselves. I promise not to stay up until 3.00 AM whilst writing my lecture notes and also pseudo bingeing a show I've been meaning to watch for weeks. I vow not to procrastinate at the last minute concerning a research assignment given to our cohort at least four weeks ago, and I also pinky promise to not leave writing notes until exam week.
But what are the promises that lawyers make to themselves and genuinely keep?
