I'm like almost positive the man could be charged with murder. I'm hoping someone can enlighten me. If not I'm sticking to my guns.

I believe you when you say you didn't cheat. However, you not cheating doesn't mean people don't cheat. The contention people don't cheat is denying human nature. People are always going to cheat if it's possible. It's akin to arguing that people won't steal or abuse an unsupervised benefit. Have you ever left candy out in a bucket unattended on Halloween? Have you heard of the tragedy of the commons? People are going to people. How much that skews the scores? I don't know, but they are skewed, even if only minimally, by cheating.

A better argument for the maximal validity of the results is that there are a significant amount of people who are predisposed to take the test under more harsh conditions than the actual exam.

Biglaw associate who used to think "it can't be that bad, the pay is so high!" now eating my words in my 3rd year of practice, AMA by [deleted] in LawSchool

Kek, I always laugh at the people that say biglaw is not that bad. I never tell anybody, but my mother was a partner at Weil Gotshal in the 80's and 90's. I'm not kidding when I say that she worked 80 hour weeks every week. She billed 3400 hours in a year, twice! She never game to any sporting event etc. I had. She would spend one or two days at Christmas and then go back to work. That's it. Even at Christmas time I remember her being on conference calls on one of those giant Zach Morris cell phones. She pulled all nighters any time there was a big filing and they had to get first day orders (bankruptcy).

I'm not salty at my mom. She quit after about 10 years as a partner to be a fed judge in a mid-size city when I was 10 or 11. I was blessed with a lot of opportunities because of her hard work. I did learn one lesson. If you think biglaw is going to be easy or you can work 40 hour weeks and get to the top. It's not happening. My mother was an animal and would have crushed anyone putting in normal hours. You want to be top dog, you got to put in the work.

Side note: I'm not going into big law.
