I never went to Talmudic classes before going to law school, so can't vouch.

Unfortunately, my year was the last one to enter law school with delusions of jobs after graduation!
As a lawyer, you'd appreciate the other half of the story! I was taking some political science classes my first senior year because I was thinking about becoming a diplomat with the Foreign Service, and a girl told me I'd make a great lawyer. I thought she was trying to insult me! I told my rabbi, and then he told me that a legal education was basically what we had been studying in classes involving the Talmud! I was hooked!
