Whether you work on a multibillion dollar deal or are working to exonerate someone who is wrongly accused of a crime, you will be tasked with an immense responsibility as well as opportunity to zealously advocate for your client. In those times, one…
Especially with cycles becoming more competitive, you should be focused on the LSAT. The only hypothetical you should think about is how can I attack that oddball game or reading comprehension passage. Take things step by step. As this cycle has pro…
Mobility, increased access to competitive jobs and solid alumni network. A T14 degree is neither sufficient nor necessary for a rewarding legal career but it is very useful.

Suffer now so you can live like a king later. Also I actually read that trial lawyers are the most depressed lawyers. Think about it, losing a case can mean a life sentence for the person you are defending. The stakes are surely high in biglaw but y…

How true do you think this mention is from the article?:

Unless you goals in academia or unicorn PI, stick with michigan. Even if you enjoy law, servicing a six figure loan is never fun and can take a serious toll on ones life.

Retake and reapply is nor brainer. Even for good schools that have good outcomes, fit matters alot because you want and need to be able to do your best work

Gaps aren't good, but they're not going to make or break you either. I recommend that you fill your resume with something, anything. I spoke with the admissions reps from a few T14 schools an…
Anecdotal. But i had numerous professors who graduated from harvard law but none practice law. They all have great jobs in think tanks but their aversion for the law probably speaks to their personality/lack of fit rather than the school itself. Har…

@westcoastbestcoast I'm considering it, especially since I still performed at the low end of my PT range on my retake and think I could hit 175+ in June. The lower T14 I did get into offered me $$$ and is highly ranked in my ar…

Kind of. I graduated last spring, but don't have any full-time work experience (just lots of part-time and volunteering).

I'm a bit late to this party As others have said, it's just speculation. We've been lucky three years in a row so maybe this is the year our luck runs out...I do wonder though (and …
I read some research articles that said personality types tend to be inaccurate since they rely upon generalizations that can apply to anyone depending on the context
According to spivey, this trend wouldn't continue. But, as you have noted, many people had disappointing and cycles and underperformed their numbers. It is a possibility that these people who underperformed may reapply next cycle, after perhaps reta…

I do agree that if you averaging in the low 170s on PTs, you should bring it up so that you can get a 175 plus on the exam. At least based on LSN, everyone who got a hamilton or near …

Yeah, of course there are plenty of seats available for those who score less than 175. I regret my clickbait title now, as many people seem to have misunderstood the purpose of my post.
