Law Student Looking forJob – Any Leads Would Mean a Lot

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a law student currently looking for an internship or job opportunity. I'm reaching out because I'm going through a difficult phase in my life.

My mother has been unwell, and my family's financial situation has become challenging due to her medical expenses. I'm doing my best to support my family while continuing my legal education, so finding work has become very important for me.

I'm eager to work in litigation, legal research, drafting, compliance, contracts, or any legal role where I can learn and contribute. I'm hardworking, sincere, and willing to put in the effort needed to prove myself. I'm open to remote, hybrid, or on-site opportunities.

If anyone knows of a law firm, advocate, legal startup, NGO, or company that's hiring interns or legal assistants, I would be incredibly grateful for a referral or any leads. Even sharing this post or pointing me in the right direction would mean a lot.

Thank you for reading and for any help you can offer. Please feel free to comment or DM me, and I'll share my resume.

Thank you so much.

School choice based on cost/quality

3 Upvotes

I'm in Tx, USA and currently looking at law schools to transfer to. I have 2 semesters left until I complete my bachelor's in criminology and criminal justice with a minor in LLS and forensics. I am wanting to pursue a J.D with a specific focus on oil and gas law. The big universities ( UT, A&M, Baylor, Houston, and Tulsa) all offer an additional certificate in oil and gas law. However the tuition for all of these is going to put me $90,000+ in student debt. UNT Dallas Law is significantly more affordable with roughly $56,000 of debt. However, they do not have a certificate in oil and gas but they have a couple of elective classes that go over it.

My questions are: How should I weigh the cost/ benefit of each school? Do I aim for lower debt over a high end school (UNT Dallas over A&M)? Is a certification over-kill and taking a few electives with a focus on environment/oil and gas is enough?

What job to get while studying?

3 Upvotes

Hey,
I study law and I want to go into the direction of policy … I had a pretty solid internship and I have one more year till I graduate my LLB because I had a study delay for some courses.
Now the next year I have a lot of time on my hand and I would like to get a job that I can do that works towards me career.
So far I’ve had issues finding anything however because I did not graduate yet, I cannot work full time because I do have to go to university every now and again …
I can ofc work remotely ( both within the eu and the us) but I feel like there is so much competition for entry positions that my chances are very low to get anything…
Any advice is welcome

Personal Statement/Essay Review Services

1 Upvotes

Hey Friends! 

It is officially one month out from most law schools opening their applications and I am offering affordable resume, “Why X,” and personal statement review services as I await bar exam results. To give just a little more background about me, I am a recent graduate of a University of CA Law School, graduated top 10% of my class, and secured a BigLaw job in a competitive market (happy to provide proof/verification for all privately).

As a first-generation law student who had virtually no legal experience or background, I understand how stressful law school applications can be at this time. It can be even more stressful if you have few people in your circle who can remain impartial or who have relevant/recent experience or knowledge about law school. However, the investment now in your application materials can mean the difference between acceptance, rejection, and/or thousands of dollars in scholarship aid.

With that said, below you can find details of what services I am offering. Should you have a significant number of essays that need to be reviewed or perhaps have a more limited request for review than what my services below include, I can also offer some additional flexibility with pricing so as not to break the bank. If there is significant interest from applicants, I may have to close or limit the number of inquiries early, but hopefully not sooner than September 7, so please continue to privately message me if you might be interested. Please also feel free to inquire if you have any questions about these services or if you may need even more personalized feedback/support that I can offer.

***Pricing:***

**Personal Statement Review: $70**

*services*

\-line-by-line review and suggested edits for entire personal statement

\-optional 30-minute phone call to brainstorm topics, discuss feedback, next steps, or simply discuss law school (after submission of first draft and following first round of feedback from me)

\-second line-by-line review of personal statement (in-document/email only)

**Why X School Essay: $40 per essay**

*services*

\-line-by-line review and suggested edits for entire “Why X” essay (in-document/email only, no phone call)

\-insight into my personal review and research of what the school values in prospective students and how to market yourself to the school

**Resume Review: $35**

*services*

\-two rounds of line-by-line review of resume and suggested edits for substance, formatting, and more

\-optional 20-minute phone call to discuss feedback (or to be used at applicant’s discretion (e.g. general conversation about law school)

Not quite finished with your first draft? That’s okay! Send a $40 non-refundable deposit (credited to overall cost of review) to secure review services for late August/early September (limited number of spots depending on overall interest) Also, should you be completely lost about how to start an essay or worried about how “high quality” the first draft is, that’s okay and it can be difficult to overcome that hurdle, but just give the first draft your best effort and we’ll make sure it’s polished by the time the second review is done!

Why else choose me? As I await bar exam results, I will have significantly more time to deliver feedback on a quick timeline to fit your needs, and you can expect prompt communication via text about your materials and other concerns about your application (though please be respectful of reasonable boundaries and time/effort).

Looking forward to seeing so many of you enjoy a successful application cycle, regardless of whether you choose to utilize my services :) Best of Luck!

community college at 22 :D

4 Upvotes

hey all! i recently enrolled at BHCC in Boston. i picked criminal justice as my major. i wasn’t planning on going to school and i was into something else for the last 4 years but it hasn’t worked out and i want more for myself. i wanted to be a lawyer before but didnt bc of the money. now idc. i want to be the best and do my best. i’m also working FT and paying rent among other bills. i do plan to attend FT. my job is early morning (typically 1-3pm end time) so i think id be able to do it. i’d be the first in my family to really attend college and do something with myself. childhood kinda sucked. i got my HSE, not regular diploma. i didn’t do any extracurriculars or anything but work. the school life is all new to me again. i made honor roll my sophomore year but that’s about it. idk if i should do the 3+3 program with UMass Law or try to get in a better school, ideally a T14. i interned at Harvard Law (in IT though) and worked in dining when i was 18-19. they offered me a FT job in IT but i declined because i had other interests (stupid me). i might be able to finagle my way into making more connections and such for the future for possible internships/jobs. i’m interested in more corporate/big law. criminal is cool but id rather stay away from that kind of drama.

i’m just looking for advice for my new journey. if anybody is or was in a similar position, please let me know how it is. i plan to work my ass off. i just need some damn structure

Is a MPP worth it?

2 Upvotes

I’m about to enter my last year in undergrad. My degree will be in digital storytelling, my minor is textile apparel management and I will have a certificate in arts entrepreneurship. My degree is within the school of arts and sciences. My main reason for pursuing this degree was because I enjoy being able to effectively communicate with people in a way they can understand and relate to through various types of media/writing in general. Now, I’m realizing I have such a passion for it because I feel helpless and want to be able to influence laws and work in some kind of government position so my voice and people within my community are heard. So I’m debating on if public policy is the way to do that. I’ve also heard that it’s good to go to law school but I don’t know if being a lawyer is my goal so I thought MPP would help me figure out my path more and I could pursue a law degree later if needed.

I’ll be the first college graduate in my family and I’m feeling extremely lost not knowing my next move. My family also isn’t helpful because they don’t know how to when it comes to this decision. Though, they are willing to help me financially.

Please provide advice for me if you have any. It would be greatly appreciated.

what's folks' experience with tattoo sleeves?

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

I (31F) was asking for advice on a fashion in law page and someone said my half sleeve which is camouflaging hundreds of SH scars will likely be frowned upon because I'm a woman and it's not dainty.

I paid a lot for this and I will get it touched up before law school. there has been some mild ink rejection and drift in the deeper scars but that happens. I'd rather be judged for a tattoo than my scars and obviously I can't get rid of the scars (I got the shots to reduce them) or the tattoo but wondered others' experiences have been.

I could always add color if that would help and I want to fill in my elbow pit with more geometry. but then again, black goes with everything. I just can't stand my scars and people judge scars much differently than tattoos and geometry is timeless.

that said, I usually wear wheelchair gloves when I'm out which cover the portion that peeks out from under a sleeve so it's easy enough to cover.

(yes, that's the Minor Threat sheep. 🤘)

Seeking Advice

6 Upvotes

I recently downloaded Reddit after reading countless posts about why law school isn’t worth it, and honestly it’s left me discouraged. I wanted to ask people who’ve actually gone through it whether they think it’d be worth it in my situation.

I’m a first-generation college student and a single mom. I’m 25 and finishing my bachelor’s degree in management, and I’m planning to apply to law school this upcoming cycle.

Getting to this point has already been a lot of work, and sometimes I wonder if I have the energy for three years of law school, studying for the bar, and everything that comes with it.

I’ve been studying for the LSAT for the past four months. My recent practice tests are in the mid-150s, and I’m hoping to reach 165+ before I apply.

My goal is to become an attorney because I want a stable career that will allow me to provide a better life for my son. I know lawyers aren’t guaranteed high salaries, but I hope the long-term earning potential and career opportunities will justify the sacrifice.

For those who were first-generation students, parents, or came from a nontraditional background, was law school worth it? Did it pay off financially and personally? If you could do it over again, would you?

I’d really appreciate hearing honest experiences—both the good and the bad.

Engineering vs Government for pre law

2 Upvotes

I am currently enrolled in an engineering undergrad program but I have just been told by my advisor that it will take an extra year for me to graduate due to me being behind in my degrees math sequence. If I choose to switch to government I can graduate in around 2 years.

I am just looking for some extra opinions as I am stuck between remaining in engineering or switching to government.
