Most AutoAdmit poasters ridicule 0Ls and even law students for their impetus to pursue the legal profession.
Things like "I like to argue" or " I want the prestige, money, and recognition" get laughed at here.
So what are sound reasons?

don't worry about breakfast. you should focus on getting a clerkship. to that end, you need to be trying to get to know professors who know judges. talk to your clerkship coordinator if your school has one too and get familiar with the process. do that and try to get on law review or some other journal.
practice interviewing. if you have good school + good grades, you just need to not be unlikeable in your interviews. you don't have to be some charismatic bro. you can get there with practice.
worry about how you come across in the workplace after you get a job.

-family is in the business (e.g. dad has a solo practice you could inherit)
-actual, proven desire to do lefty progressive stuff (obama, civil rights, etc.), free ride, not worried about money
-you've already fucked up but did OK on the LSAT. E.g., a white bro at BU with a history degree may have no good options. He does well on the LSAT and now he can go to Penn law? That might make sense. At least he'll make a decent living.

1. You have a solid career plan that is realistic considering where you get into law school, your student loans, etc. that justifies law school.
2. You get into a good law school at a reasonable cost (T3: pay the full amount , T6: need at least some scholarship, T14: need reasonable scholarship, T20: full ride or don't go)
3. You basically have no better options.
Yeah, a cold, calculating cost-benefit analysis is the only real reason to go. "Love of the law" is BS, as is "prestige". Pre-laws don't know what legal practice is about and there's no real prestige anymore. It is just a job with a decent upper middle class pay if and only if you end up at the top of it. The people that get legit rich are few and far between.
