Hi everyone! I just recently graduated from undergrad (yay!) and decided to take a gap year before applying to improve my LSAT score and to boost my resume with more than just an internship. I recently got a job at a decent-sized law firm as a legal assistant, and they were hoping that when I go to law school, it would be part-time so I can continue working at the firm. Before the application cycle opens up, and before I go in too deep with this firm, I need to know if working full-time while attending law school part-time is something I can realistically achieve.

I am curious if anyone else is in a similar situation where they are looking to apply to a part-time JD program. I'm completely unfamiliar with the part-time process, as everyone I've talked to is in law school full-time.

I have no idea how law schools weigh part-time applicants. Would I even be a good part-time applicant, considering I am younger, etc.? So many questions, very little answers!!!

Please join the chat room if you are planning on doing a part-time program, or if you're thinking about it, or if you have any extensive knowledge!

Sincerely,

A girl who has a lot to think about :)
