What does law coursework look like?
Hello, it’s me again. Just wondering if someone can point me in a direction into what law school course work looks like? Or what lawyers do on a minute by minute basis? Or any examples of some laws I can look at? I’m just trying to get a better feel for the profession. I hope it’s not super unreason...

Re: Highest Paying Legal Fields
I'm considering the following fields of study: Tort, Liability (I know that's general), Constitution, Estate, Civil RIghts, Public Policy (although not really law), Labor.. I have heard those fields are generally low paying. Is that inaccurate?

Highest Paying Legal Fields
Hello
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of what are generally the highest paying legal fields?
I’ve done research online and it’s not too consistent. I’m wondering if anyone has some insight.
Thanks!

Re: Do Large Firms avoid hiring older new attorney?
Nope, my V30 absolutely hires new associates in their 30s. I work closely with two associate who were in their mid or late 30s when they graduated law school, and my summer associate mentee was in their 30s as well. It will not be a thing at all. To be blunt - did you actually read articles that su...

Do Large Firms avoid hiring older new attorney?
Hello, I am not sure if this is universal. I have read a number of articles that suggested Large (big Law) tend to avoid hiring older new attorneys (Older meaning 35+). Is there any truth to this? Does anyone have any experience that they can speak of? I've read that many recruiters tell people this...

Does Major matter?
Hi there, Obviously for those who have seen my other post know it’s been a decade since I’ve been in college, but I digress. Does major matter? I was a history major in undergrad with a higher major gpa. Do lawschool a take that in consideration more or is it a pure numbers game? I know someone who ...

If you don't want to be a lawyer then don't go to law school, but please don't let your age be the factor. Like we've said many, many times in this thread, you are never too old to go to law school and there are plenty of people who go to law school in their 30s and 40s. I work with an associate at...

I mean, this is an incredibly personal decision. I don’t think going to law school will have any effect on finding a spouse or making time for a family, unless you decide it will. You don’t have to put that off for school. Age isn’t an issue unless you decide it is; plenty of people go to law schoo...

I may bail on this. I think the window for me pursuing this has passed. I put my self in a tough situation. I’m not remotely ready for the lsat and my studying has been inconsistent due to personal extended family issues. Plus I just turned 33, so I will be in my late 30s when I graduate. At that po...

I’m not confident I will be ready in November.
I would by lying to you if I told you there hasn’t been gaps in my studying. I’ve had a few time gaps of the past couple months of studying. It’s not good

Remember that admissions will not be following typical cycle patterns this year. That doesn't mean November will necessarily be any better/worse for the upcoming admission cycle, but it won't be as formulaic as in years past because everything from testing to LORs are frustrated by the current publ...

How did you get into a top 25 law school with a much worse gpa? With the right LSAT, plenty of folks with sub-3 GPAs get into good schools. I had an offer (but no scholly) from WashU. Several folks with 2.8x or 2.9x got into UVA, Penn, Northwestern, etc. in my cycle. Early applications help a lot, ...

I'm a 36 year old 2L. My GPA in undergrad was substantially worse than yours (2.52). But I was able to rock the LSAT, and that's often enough to bring out some scholarship offers. I'm at Washington & Lee on a little over a 2/3 scholarship. If you've got the ability to get above a 170, you should se...

I highly doubt I will receive a scholarship or some sort off offer. It just seems unlikely based off my GPA. Maybe I am wrong? Another issue: I am 32 and will by 33 next spring. It seems like the time for this decision has past and I would be in a disadvantage. My GPA was not as good as it SHOULD h...
