People ask this question because it’s simple to ask, and it’s an easy weeder question. If I’m interviewing someone who tells me with vehemence how much they hated law school, I’m probably not going to hire them for a legal job. The only appropriate answer to this question is some variant of, “In general, I enjoyed it and found it challenging. Of course, it was tough at times, but I learned enough to make it worthwhile.” Don’t be a Pollyanna (no one will believe that you loved every second of law school), but try to be generally upbeat about the experience.
