Must Read Before Accepting a Law School Scholarship
Categories: Scholarships Please, please, PLEASE read this before accepting a scholarship to any law school: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/01/business/law-school-grants.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&hp Your Law School Personal Statement May Get You A Job!!!!!
Categories: Law School Personal Statement Apparently, there is a new trend where employers are asking law students applying for internships and clerkships for copies of the personal statements they used when applying to law school. One attorney told me she does this when hiring and that many of her colleagues do the same. She says: “I feel like there’s so much focus on grades and academics in law school and its easy to lose sight of who you are or where you come from. I like the idea of learning a little about the applicant and then speaking with them about it when they interview.” For a recent hire in a family law practice, she learned through the personal statement of how divorce impacted the applicant’s life – that person got hired! It’s certainly something to think about!
When Should You Take the LSAT
Categories: Application Timeline, LSAT, LSAT Prep, LSAT; Rolling Admissions There have been a number of postings this week about when to take the LSAT. We talk about this at length in The Law School Admission Game: Play Like an Expert. The last day to change your test date for the June 2011 LSAT is May 13th. If you’re not close to where you need to be by this date, then put the test off into October. October is not too late – even for schools where you might apply Early Decision or under Early Notification programs. You will have your October LSAT scores by October 26th, which is plenty of time to fire off applications with early deadlines of November 1 and November 15th. Here are some posts about application timelines: Which LSAT to take? Law School Applicants and Future Law School Applicants – I need your help!
Categories: Uncategorized I’m working on my next book, one that I hope will help you decide whether and where to attend law school and offering perspectives about what to expect from a career with a JD. To make the book’s advice meaningful, I need your help. Please take 5 minutes to fill out this online survey. Your responses will help shape the direction of the book! Thank you so much!
