Yes, but provided everything goes well with business school maybe I can click “former lawyer” the next time this poll comes around.
No
Engineers create wealth, and lawyers take it away.
$210 in the Northern District, not too steep. But, if you don’t need it you don’t need it.
About half my cases, or more, are in Federal Court, so I admitted in State and Federal Courts.
I, too, am surprised by the high percentage. Of course, it’s not a scientific poll.
IAAL!!11! i pwned teh lollerskools!!!11 (citing State v. w00t, et seq. [supra, at fig. suxxors])!!!
I’m not a lawyer but I’m toying with the idea of law school some time in the future (my employer might pay for it once the economy climbs out of the dumpster and the budget goes up.)
No clue how likely I am to try it, but it’s an option.
Interesting. You guys answered a question for me that I’ve been curious about but never got around to answering. I’ve seen ads up here occasionally about some immigration lawyer that practices both in Canada and the US. I thought it was pretty strange to be licensed in both countries simultaneously, but I guess not. Learn something new every day I guess.

My poll posting skills = fail. 
What is up with there being no former lawyers here?
Once a lawyer, always a lawyer, unless you get disbarred or surrender your license. Even those that don’t practice are still lawyers.
I answered “Yes, US” on a technicality – Licensed, but never practiced.
Just like there are no former Marines. Once you’re in, you always are.
'Nother one here. I have a nice, shiny “you passed!” certificate from the New York State Bar Association. But in the time that elapsed between taking the exam and getting the results, I started taking on clients in the international policy arena, then a few more … then a few more … until that pesky set of forms (you want to know everywhere I’ve worked since turning 21?!) seemed less and less worth it.
I’m considering it. I mean, what the hell good is a history degree good for anyways?
Like several others here, I’m stuck in the limbo between passing the bar and actually being admitted. (I’ll be there longer than most, since I’ll be out of the country when the Third Judicial Department does its big interview’n’swear-in festival come January.) Answered yes, though, since I imagine I’ll be sworn in eventually.
I am a Barrister.
I voted in the poll that I was not a lawyer, which is true.
However, having worked in law firms and legal departments in film studios, in various capacities, for at least 10 years I think I have a better than average grasp on law. I worked as a paralegal, as a database designer and administrator and in litigation, trademark and copyright - yeah, I could give some sound advice if someone needed it, but no - I could not represent you at trial.
I put foreign lawyer in training, which isn’t strictly true since I am accepted but do not start till next year, but is kind of true in that I have a class schedule and I have paid for it. 
I need an option for “not much of a lawyer.”
No point - being an internet poll, it would have got no responses :).
