(Don't) Go to Law School Available at LDC Comics Fair this July

Written By Madeline Buck

For the month of July 2025, you can access a digital copy of the first installment of my graphic memoir, (Don’t) Go to Law School, about prestige-plagued law schools, a devolving Supreme Court, and finding a path that feels right. If you have no connection to the law, you may also appreciate the comic if your childhood reading skewed your career expectations, you did exactly what you said you wouldn’t, or you’ve ever been particularly invested in celebrity gossip.

An illustration of a memoir called "Don't Go to Law School." It shows a small girl saying "Law! Ew!" It also shows a woman wrapped up in bands that say things like "you can do anything with a law degree." The woman looks upset.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is shown on a page of a comic, where we see how she became the "Notorious RBG" and said things like "Fight of the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you."
A girl and her father are sitting on a couch in this comic about law school. She points out that she always knew she would never go to law school.

The comic is available as part of the LDC Online Comics Fair, which has a collection of digital comics by creators from all around the world.

The listing for my comic is here, but there are loads of other great creators whose work you may enjoy, if you go to the LD Comics Shop generally.

If you pick up a copy, let me know what you think!
