L
55:25Um, it gives you the time to focus on your classes and actually learning what you want to do in, like, this whole new field that you...
L
55:38But I think there's also an upshot to this, um, for plaintiffs' attorneys, and that's because this massive never-ending race to the bottom among big law firms is creating a culture that is not conducive to intellectual curiosity, to developing your own, like, skills as an attorney.
L
55:58And even among my friends that are going into big law, I'm noticing a culture that's much more pro-plaintiff than it would've been otherwise.
