Are you just starting law school? Considering law school? Back at it after a rough 1l? I’m here to say, there is no one right way. The journey is different for everyone. If being a lawyer is something you really want, you can do it. If you have kids at home, it won’t be easy. You will make sacrifices and so will your family. I wrote a whole book about how to decide if law school is right for you and your family, and if it is, tips on making it through. It’s a great resource – or so I have been told. 🙂
My blog has lots of wisdom in it, too. These are the most relevant posts from when I was in law school, moved over from an old free blog site, and separated from some of the news and personal ramblings of the time. Look around, soak up the advice, and feel free to email me if you have questions. I am always happy to help where I can.
Good luck to you!
