A quick definition of opinion work product:

Opinion work product: This is a term used to describe the thoughts and ideas of a lawyer that are written down or spoken about a legal case. It is usually kept private and not shared with others. This is because it is important for lawyers to be able to think freely and come up with their own ideas without worrying about others seeing them. Opinion work product is almost always kept secret and not shared with anyone outside of the legal team.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Opinion work product refers to tangible or intangible material that includes or reflects an attorney's thoughts, such as impressions, theories, and conclusions. It is almost wholly immune from discovery, meaning it is generally exempt from disclosure.

Examples: Examples of opinion work product include notes taken by an attorney during a meeting with a client, a memo outlining a legal strategy, or a draft of a legal brief. These materials are created to assist in the prosecution or defense of a pending lawsuit or in reasonable anticipation of litigation.

Explanation: Opinion work product is protected from discovery because it contains an attorney's mental impressions and thought processes. This protection allows attorneys to freely explore legal theories and strategies without fear of disclosure to opposing parties. The examples illustrate how attorneys use opinion work product to develop legal strategies and prepare for litigation.

Tell us what's important to you
Also, quote where I say they should R&R. I actually went out of my way to look at the school and provide extra information and/or questions to ask that would encourage them not to R&R
smh I need to go home

@JupitersMoons: most it is just "wait a year to get more money" when if you do a financial analysis you are farrrrrr better off just going

@llama: so true, bestie
i appreciate u jupiters
I am just trying to make the best decision
@OrganicAcridWizard: ur welcome and as stated previously, not an oracle. Make the decision that you are comfortable with, and what is to happen is to happen. Law school is bound to be an extremely stressful time in your life, and no amount of money will change you being desperately unhappy because of where you geographically reside. If living in NYC will make you happier, I think that is a completely valid reason to R&R. If you're like me, however, and are just desperately afraid of the unknown, get more familiar with the school and the region and the stats and the people. Do research and make it feel less alien to you.
been trying to research. would have about 60k debt minimum from COL, and would need to relocate over 1000 miles
Digi is this forum's equivalent of a troll under the bridge: cranky, gross, and should be widely disregarded. If the pessimism wasn't deterrent enough, the sexism, slurs, and likely fake account should suffice.
but I think I could get to NYC for work from there and no tuition so hey
Literally damn close to same story with me. Huge scholarship, but 2,000 miles. Middle of nowhere school, population 7,000. Have no connections to the state, but hey, they place big law in DC and NY, and are giving me the most bang for my buck right now. I've gotten so much more comfortable with W&L by browsing the subreddit for testimonials, reaching out to current students on LinkedIn, and even making random connections with people in the state.

Full send it, unless hesitant, imo. Life goes so quick.

Else R&R but make a plan, determine what is important to you, determine your options, write them down, make a flow chart. U got it
