I think that, at the time, you confused "an exercise in critical analysis" with "indoctrination". Feminist critical analysis is simply analyzing a subject (in this case, legal institutions) from the perspective of gender politics. Marxist critical analysis (which I presume is what you erroneously referred to as "left wing") is, similarly, analyzing a subject from the perspective of class politics.
I suspect that you were free to make whatever value judgments, if any, about your conclusions that you saw fit. For instance, if you concluded that legal institutions tend to serve the interests of the ruling elite (as many critical theorists have), you might argue that this is good for society or just (according to some Ayn-Randian theory of justice, for example).
In any event, as valo points out, by failing to research what attending law school or being a lawyer is remotely about, you really dodged a bullet. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it (God knows that I lose plenty of sleep because I did not dodge that particular bullet.)
