标题: 女生的话真的适合当律师吗？

想问问这里的前辈，三年的JD，之后考BAR，执业。。。

虽然对法律还是挺感兴趣的。但是不知道这个职业会不会影响正常的生活，（对女生来说）。比如在美国当律师的话每周工作多少小时，有时间结婚吗？有时间生活么？而且在美国读JD的中国人里是不是男生更多呢？

as the old saying goes, it reeeeally depends...

as for marriage, my advice is that find at least a bf before you packaging for law school~~

I just finished my first year law school and right now am working with a large law firm which sort of gives me a flavor of what my future life would be (large law firms usually wine and dine you when you are a summer but work you to death when you become an associate). One, be prepared to work for 60-70 hours a week to reach 1900 or higher billable hours per year. Two,different firms do have disparate cultures, so you could still have a work life balance if you pick the right firm. Three, you have to keep the balance yourself. Many partners and associates have families and children. They are normal people. Four, prioritize. You have to lose to gain. Think it through, make a decision and never look back. From my point of view, it is a privilege to be a lawyer. Welcome to the legal world!

lawyer mm, it's great to hear about your experience and opinions as someone on the inside. from what I know it's quite challenging to find a biglaw summer position during the 1L summer. would you mind sharing what helped you successfully got there? that would be much appreciated!
