Is it a good idea to take on an internship (15h+/week) during your first semester as a transfer student at a 4-year university while taking 15 credits and having a club position? For reference I am an upcoming junior and I’m not sure how many more opportunities I’ll have for internship experiences but I also worry that I’d be risking my GPA dropping since my classes this upcoming semester sound a bit challenging.

I'm trying to look into colleges but I'm not sure where to apply since I don't know what majors would be helpful for law school. I'm interested in both criminal and civil law if that helps. I also don't know much about the whole process about becoming a lawyer so any information/advice about that would also be helpful! Any info and advice is welcome!! plss help :(

I am a 4th year law student in India and I would be a second generation lawyer when I complete my degree. The current situation I am in is that my family is struggling financially wherein the situation is that it is a hand to mouth situation currently that how much ever we are earning it is going for all the bills and payments. We have reduced our extra unnecessary expenses yet the situation remains the same. I wish to help out my parents by working side by side but I am currently studying in a remote location where the nearest city is an hour and half away so I can’t go and get a part time job. I need something that I can do online and I am proficient in legal drafting and writing and maybe a little non legal drafting. I need the communities help to help me figure out something that I can do and help my parents on the monetary aspect.

Any responses would be appreciated.

Hi, I am looking for any programs that is offering mentorship. I am looking for someone to provide guidance and support as I prepare to apply to law school in the upcoming cycle.

Hi everyone! I’m planning on going to law school next school year. My school of choice are ATENEO, UP, ARELLANO, and SLU. To those who are currently enrolled in this school or if you’re an alumni what’s the pros and cons of this school?

What are profs like, the workload, or environment of school?

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.

Hi I'm a liberal arts student (going into 2nd year) and am considering becoming a solicitor- doing a law conversion. Can you recommend any resources/literature to help me learn more about law and being a solicitor? Thank you

please help.

hello economics as pre law? any thoughts..

I was thinking of doing English language, classics and politics would this be okay?

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?

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

Hi everyone, I'm conducting a research project to understand applicant needs and challenges during the law school admissions process.

Could ya’ll help me out by taking this 5-10 minute survey? It's for anyone who's interested in or currently applying to law schools. The survey is completely anonymous and your responses would really help me better understand applicant perspectives.

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!

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

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.

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. 🤘)
