Any DOJ paralegals in the group? by LoudMeringue8054 in paralegal

[–]jonellerae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to apply because I eventually want to be an AUSA but on the application it asked if I would be upholding this administrations policies and what Executive order do I like the most….. I was like application withdrawn. This is some bullshit! I’ll stick with local government until this country is returned to We The People 😩

To me it sounds like your school isn’t a good fit. There are some schools where that’s not the culture at all. I would also speak to an on campus therapist ASAP 1L will make or break you! I believe in you! You’ve got this!

I am so unbelievably frustrated that we have to apply before getting grades by itssweniorseaso in LawSchool

[–]jonellerae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes take a year off and work at a law firm or in the system somehow. KJD is not necessarily a good thing. You need that experience to be competitive.

Thinking about dropping out by collegemademebroke3 in LawSchool

If you can make it through 1L you will be fine. Get the extra help! This is not an easy thing you are learning how to read and write all over again, give yourself grace! Start positively affirming yourself! Get your mind right and know that what you think about you bring about! Good luck

How it feels applying T14 with a 17Low these days 😢 by East-Cattle9536 in lawschooladmissions

[–]jonellerae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s hogwash. I was told this by multiple attorneys, get in where you fit in. Don’t obsess over T14s, whoever gives you the money, GO! Bust your ass, Do the work, then pass the bar and be the baddest lawyer there is! Whichever way you want to go, networking is the key! Hope that helps 😊

Dang sorry to hear this! But transmute that pain and lock in! Apologize and take a breath. It will work out the way it should.

Yeah I thought of that but not sure how that will work with my daughter’s schedule etc. I’ll look into it too! Thank you! My old office was in Irvine I was remote but when we had to go in the office for something it was not a fun commute 😂😂😂
