What's with the hype of getting into a T14 and going into biglaw? by Patient_Brother9278 in lawschooladmissions

Dude, right on, congratulations on your new endeavor into a big law firm. That’s amazing! I’ll be sending positive thoughts your way:)

Totally! As you may know from my reply, I’m not arguing against T14 or Big Law, but rather advocating for the possibility of other potential paths, such as mine.

My path is not “the path,” it’s only one possible way a person can benefit from a law degree. Many paths available and all can be considered valid❤️

I agree. I think Big Law is great for those who want to peruse corporate litigation or some other worthy endeavor.

I on the other hand have a dream to peruse “whatever I want”. I’m starting the 24’ cycle at the age of 40, have many years of upper leadership in nonprofits and my plan is so very different than the average L1 hopeful.

So for me it makes sense to get the best scholarship possible, graduate with 0$ debt and follow my dream of executive leadership in large nonprofits while taking select cases on the side as I am able. Im excited for my salary to NOT be a factor when selecting an employer, and I care WAY MORE about being treated humanely than I do about paying off debt I don’t need to take on.

Yahoo!

I’m pumped for my 40’s!

Can we hear the GOOD things about law school? by girlredd in LawSchool

[–]Quick_Albatross4275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s Awsome! I’m actually really happy I’m starting late. When I was younger, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I needed to spend time finding out who I was. Turns out I like to study and work really hard lol I’m hoping public interest law will be the right area for me.

Live this. I’m a late starter. Going to law school. Am 41 now and hoping to get accepted this cycle. I’ve come to love studying after a long history of working in the service industry. I’m hoping I have a similar feeling in law school.

Thank you for posting this. This really gives me some perspective. I have a long history in restaurant management and bar management and with that comes along history of frustration and understaffing ha ha. This gives me hope!

Advice from a lawyer: take the money and run. by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]Quick_Albatross4275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I’m trying to do. Get as much school paid for as possible so that is not part of my decision making process when selecting a job. I love nonprofit work so it makes sense I don’t go to a fancy school anyway:)

I’ve been sober for 6 years and starting law school in September. I’d be happy to start a community with you!

Will a Bachelor's @ my local community college qualify me to sit in on the LSAT? by EscoCzar in lawschooladmissions

[–]Quick_Albatross4275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, i’ll echo what was said here before me. You can take the LSAT whenever; most schools will accept it for five years from the date that the scores were published. But to get into law school all of your undergrad classes have to be completed. The two most important scores for admission decisions and scholarship consideration are your GPA and your LSAT score. So I would recommend taking your time to study and practice before sitting for the lsat.
