I think the key difference is that you learned useful skills in your grad program, whereas mine could be reduced to a 6 month seminar TBH. After you've learned how to teach yourself the law you're set. The next 2 years are a complete and total waste of time and I treated it accordingly. Were I still developing practical skills I might've checked in, but I wasn't, so I didn't.
Once I hit the working world I turned the motor back on. But law school is such a goddamn joke. It teaches you to be a law professor, but out of a graduating class of hundreds maybe 1 or 2 are douchey enough to become a law professor. The rest of us just need to know how to think logically and parse through statutes, regs, case law, etc. You get that in the first year.
