Ep 46: When to Start Preparing for Law School
In this episode of Break Into School, I discuss when you should start preparing for law school. I'm also going to give you a month-by-month breakdown of how you should spend your time as you put together your materials both written and non-written.
Ep 35: How Much Debt is Law School Worth?
In this episode of Break Into Law School, I'm going to be talking all about debt. How much debt should you be taking out for law school? How does debt relate to your future career as a lawyer? How can you minimize the amount of debt you'll have after you graduate? The good news is you don't have to pay off loans forever just to attend law school. Conversely, you don't have to give up a top school just to live debt-free.
Ep 06: Is the 2021-2022 Law School Application Cycle Going to Be More Competitive
In this episode of Break Into Law School, I discuss whether the 2021-2022 law school application cycle is going to be as competitive as the 2020-2021 law school admissions cycle. We take a look back at the factors that made this past law school admissions cycle the most competitive cycle in ABA history and the factors that I believe will contribute to this law school admissions cycle being just as competitive. We will also go over what you can do to prepare for this upcoming law school admissions cycle.
