You will find out, it is good to keep your hopes high, at least I have authored two books, have my own practice, won several cases, so what next.

Now to address your cheeky assertion nay conclusion that only mediocres think law is over rated. Only those that have not been on the divide of practice will talk like that, the shocker will hit you, when you get to court, where incompetence will brazenly stare you in the face and call your bluff, where corrupt judges will flip the law, where your files will get missing, the registry cess pool of corruption, the bailiff, oh my God, the police.

Never mind Einstein, you will join the throng soon enough.
