Get the Law school gunner mug.Phrase common in NYC, but useful in many metropolitan areas, particularly those that boast a top-tier law school. A "law school girlfriend" is a young lady with a non-descript corporate job (i.e., she works in "sales," "PR," or "marketing") and dates a man attending a nearby top-tier law school. She has no actual redeeming qualities, save being very attractive and urban chic. She uses her looks and her pseudo-corporate job to impress the law student into dating her, with the hope that he will marry her once he graduates and begins making $200K a year.

Get the law school hot mug.Similar to a "work spouse." Someone (generally of the opposite sex) from your law school whom you spend extended amounts of time with, have a beyond simple friendship special bond, and rely on for support. This person often knows more about you than other people and you commonly share inside secrets or jokes. Generally the relationship is flirty and may include sexual tension, but rarely crosses the line to include actual sexual acts.

Get the law school hot mug.1. Gunners do not have the first clue.
2. They try to sound smart.
3. They probably are the class "anvil" in a law school with a tight curve.
4. And finally, they end up dropping out or just come to accept that their classmates get their above qualities and so they stop trying to fool everyone else, including themselves.
These gunners wither away and become normal, despite having gone to law school, and they become replaced.
However, sometimes gunners go into hibernation, or some latent gunners who never had the audacity to be a gunner in law school, become your stereotypical lawyer when they manage to stumble their way into a job after law school.
Do not be fooled with people in the legal profession, or any other profession, who try hard to sound smart by using, for example, "par excellence" and "since time immemorial" in the same sentenced stuffed with legalese. It's OK if every now and then people get "rewarded" for no merit if that means they will shut up, as long as they know that we are in on their game, and that they'll have to change eventually into mature adults.
