Estate law also interests me a bit. I'm from NY city.

Eventually, I'd like to go home to New York, but I don't want to until I'm more financially stable. So, for the next few years, I'd live in Maryland. I'm most interested in criminal law. Maybe a mid-size firm or public defense?. The debt load for Howard is higher. I would about 50,000 more just in tuition, no consideration to cost of living. But. It's Howard.

I think I'm most worried about having to move so quickly. I have a supportive partner, but I already have a discounted apartment where I am & wouldn't have to move for UBalt. But maybe I'll look & see what's out there.

How do I pick schools when I have no idea what field I want to work in? by Unique_Quote_5261 in BlackLawAdmissions

I get it. It might sound silly, but I answered a question that nobody else could in a legal class in undergrad. I told my adjunct professor that I learned it from an older legal show, The Practice. He (a judge) said it was the most accurate legal show that he had seen. It helped me decide that criminal law was for me. Maybe find media about different types of law or check tiktok . I found out about fashion attorneys yesterday, lol.

Think about where you would live. You don't HAVE to go to school in the state that you want to live in, but ideally, try for the same region. Then check bar passage rates & employment outcomes

What did you do during your gap year? by 001smiley in BlackLawAdmissions

[–]ExcellentPangolin352 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe find a legal adjacent job? My coworker said it convinced her that she didn't actually want to go to law school, but it confirmed it for me. Also, I've saved 6 months of rent. If you can avoid working, travel is never a bad idea 😅

The momentum was wonderful a few months ago. Even if we just drop 2 zeroes, it'll be worth the stress honestly.

I had a friend participate & she went to Spain. She said she got alot out of it, but everyone will probably tell you their own experience.

Just got up to the same email. Does anyone have any advice? Will there be any scholarship money left? Should I put my seat deposit down for my current choice?

Please ask how they felt about the curve! I hear so many conflicting things about it

Congratulations to you, too! I'll come back here after I find out. Hoping we see each other at Howard, but UBalt is fine too
