Legal Clinic Volunteer Opportunity

Quick Silver

I'm debating whether to take a volunteer opportunity. Can you weigh and and tell me your thoughts after reviewing these pros and cons?

Pros:
Great Clinic
Director has ties to some of the top schools I'm applying to
Interesting work

Cons:
Limited time - Finished with LSAT but still finishing essay and depending on score may retake lsat
Interested in the focus of clinic but not my primary interest (my PS slightly involves a different area of law)
Commute is a hassle
Could spend more time on my other softs (already have previous law related experience)

BTW don't let quantity of cons to pros throw you off. Some of the pros are pretty heavy.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Well I am assuming this is part time, correct? Like 2 days a week? Sounds like you can balance it. do it

Do it! I am volunteering at the Innocence Project while I am studying for the LSAT and the people that I have gotten to know and the recommendations have been so beneficial.
