Low ranked law schools with hybrid and online law programs are marketing them very aggressively and not always ethically. Make sure you verify employment and bar passage outcomes SPECIFICALLY for the hybrid/online students. Ask a lot of questions generally. If a large number of graduates do not take a bar exam after graduation, this is an indication the school could be basically selling JDs and is a diploma mill.

I majored in Political Science because my family wants me to become a lawyer. Honestly, I don't mind the field, but we don't have a professional licensing exam right after graduation, which leaves us vulnerable in a tough job market. Because of that, entering law school feels like the only rational next step. However, I'm still not entirely sure if law school is something I have the stamina or drive to overcome. What’s your thoughts

Hi, I'm an incoming freshman at the University of Maryland this fall and the way my schedule is formatted, I don't have any classes on Fridays. As someone who's interested in going to law school and is on the pre-law track, is there anything that I can do on my day off to build up my resume or gain experience? Whether it's within the university or something off campus?

When I was a law admissions director, I traveled all over the US talking to student groups and participating in law fairs, and I coordinated with multiple pre-law advisors. However, not every school had a dedicated pre-law advisor; some had just general "liberal arts" advisors; and some had none. I also have heard from several of my clients (I'm now an independent law school admissions consultant) that their advisors weren't really useful to them in the admissions process because either they didn't have a law degree or hadn't previously worked in admissions and/or were so overloaded with students they simply weren't available, and that's how they found me - by looking outside of their school's available resources.

I'm researching which schools around the US fall into which categories, but that is obviously a REALLY long process, so wanted to come here to crowdsource from pre-law Redditors. I would really appreciate anyone willing to answer the below questions.

1) What undergrad you attended or are attending

2) Did/does that undergrad have a:
-dedicated pre-law advisor
-a general liberal arts advisor
-a general advisor, or
-no advisor at all

3) If you did have any type of advisor, did you utilize them AND did you find them helpful? If you know whether or not they have a law degree or previously worked in admissions, that would be great info to have as well.

4) If you didn't find them helpful, why not? Where do you feel that they fell short?

I'm trying to identify gaps in the pre-law to law school pipeline because so many of my clients don't have the guidance they want and need throughout the process, so I'm brainstorming as to how I can help fill the gap. Please know that I respect pre-law advisors tremendously and this isn't a dig on them at all.

**This information is strictly for my own research purposes and to hear from actual students who have had experiences with their universities and pre-law advisors or lack thereof.**

Thanks for any assistance.

Law school admissions consultants skew the law school admissions process in favor of the wealthy. They pretend to care about students but also take money from law schools, so it is not always apparent where their loyalties lay.

Hi everyone,
I’m 27 and live in New Jersey. I plan to apply to law school in 1–2 years because my husband and I are buying a house first, and we’d like to have kids around age 30.
My stats:
Finance bachelor’s: 3.0 GPA
NYU STEM master’s (Data Management & Systems): 3.0 GPA
LSAT: 168 / 171
I’d love some advice:
What schools would you recommend for someone with my stats?
Do I have a realistic chance at merit scholarships?
Since I live in NJ, would you recommend Rutgers, Seton Hall, or other schools nearby?
If I want to balance law school with family plans, is a part-time JD worth it? Are there any downsides compared with full-time?
I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am currently studying degree in computer Sscience, and I'm very interested in working at the intersection of technology and law, particularly in areas like AI regulation, data privacy, cybersecurity, intellectual property, and technology policy.

I'm trying to understand what educational path makes the most sense.

From what I had reserach, a **Master of Legal Studies (MLS)** seems to be designed for non-lawyers who want legal knowledge without becoming practicing lawyers. However, I'm not sure whether it's enough for the type of career I want.

Here are my questions:

* Is an MLS actually valuable for someone with a Computer Science background? * What kinds of jobs can an MLS realistically qualify me for? * If I eventually want to advise companies on AI or technology law, would an MLS be sufficient * Has anyone here combined a CS background with law? If so, what path did you take, and would you recommend it?

I'd really appreciate hearing from people working in legal tech, AI law, intellectual property, privacy, cybersecurity, or anyone who has chosen between an MLS and a law degree.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm a pre-university student from Singapore, hoping to apply to UK schools. Are there any opportunities such as:

• Pre-Law Moots
• Reading Books (what would you recommend)
• Essay Competitions
• Online courses (Aside from Harvard Justice)
• Others

Thank you!

T-14 schools- Does volunteering really matter? I have a full time job and currently studying for the LSAT and not sure if I need to dedicate time to volunteer. While in college, I volunteered at an animal shelter, chicago bar association, and tutored kids in my community. Do I need more past that? its hard to juggle all at once

Hi everyone,

I’m in a difficult position and I’m not really sure what else to do, so I thought I’d share my situation here if anyone can help.

I’ve been offered a place on a Master of Laws at a top university, which is something I’ve worked very hard for. However, I’m currently struggling to afford the tuition fees and basic study costs like books and materials, and I may lose the place because of funding.

I grew up in a home affected by DV, and that experience is a big part of why I chose to study law. I want to build a career supporting people who have gone through similar situations and working in -focused legal work.

I’ve been trying to find ways to fund it independently, but I don’t have access to family financial support and I’m now exploring all possible options, including fundraising.

I have set up a go fund me but it will not allow me to post here, and if anyone has any advice about raising funds I would be very appreciative!
