I'm facing the exact situation you are, but I don't think you have anything to worry about. I plan on working FT and attending PT law school. I'd rather pad the resume and my wallet vs. coming out of law school and deciding…

Slightly off topic from OPs question, but has anyone considered working PT and going to school PT for 1L then transferring to FT course loads starting in 2L?
I read about someone doing this at Georgetown on their TLS wiki…

My understanding is the ABA strongly suggests, if not requires, that full-time law students do not work during their 1L. But part-time is permitted to work. I could be mistaken.
Yes, that is correct. I would not be goin…

Don’t most schools make you agree to not work during your first year?
Not that I'm aware of hence, the part-time programs for those who work.

Thinking about PT, but am not sure about FT. Will your job include overtime? And is it a job that requires a lot of energy?
During our AEP (Annual Enrollment Period) season (June-September) there will be OT required. I wo…

FT worker here as well. Thanks for this. I usually try to get a couple of hours in after work. I'll need to bump it up a few hours. Will you be working FT once you're in law school?

I'm working full time so not quite what you're looking for, but I am curious how other FT working people are planning to spend their time. I'm PTing in the high 160s/low 170s which is my goal score so I'm hoping to push tha…

The "Trump Bump" may provide some explanation for the increase in LSAT takers. Those who are pro Trump or anti-Trump. I honestly, believe people are just getting better with "beating" the LSAT so to say with programs such as 7Sage. We've read many …

Keep in mind though that Spivey still expects next year's cycle to be less competitive!!!
So this may not be the case for next year since #of applicants is expected to drop
I hope this is the case.

No wonder some 175+ LSAT scorers are not seeing the results they expect.
There are several hundred extra of us running around. Even Harvard doesn't want/need us all like they u…
Yes. I am in a similar situation. I seem to be the senior here...47. I've always wanted to go to law school, but chose to go the paralegal route instead. Honestly, I'm glad I did. I worked as a paralegal for about 15yrs with my last position at the …

Happy MLK Jr Day to you and all as well! As my HBCU (TSU,TN) motto states, “Enter to learn, go forth to serve”!
Lol that’s my HBCU’s motto as well. Did they go around stealing these back i…
@tringo335 I totally understand as I work FT as well and have felt the same way- tired, exhausted and sometimes frustrated because I do not see me progressing they way I'd like. It is taking FOREVER to get through this CC and I have the starter pack…

Hey @"Alex Divine", Happy New Year to you too! I'm not sure if you've seen my inbox message, but I'm still plugging away with the CC. Hope to have it completed by the end of this month. So I'll be joining then. Thanks.
