No. At some point around 99/2000 I read Harry Blackmun's dissent in Callins and started on a path to a sophisticated layman's understanding of various areas of law through self-study, particularly constitutional issues.

Law school has always been a someday-maybe, but the more I see how it turns so many people into inhumane robots obsessed with the letter of the law instead of its spirit, the less motivated I am.

I don't think law school does that to people, I think that people that are oriented that way are a significant subset of the people attracted to law school.

I guess that's a reasonable hypothesis. Still not a thrilling prospect to put myself at such people's mercy for three years, of course.

(The practical rewards for me are limited, there's virtually no chance I would actively practice even if I graduated and passed the bar.)
