There are several reasons I hope you will take my advice. First, it is tough to get accepted to a top law school and as a recent Harvard Law School graduate, I can provide sound advice and suggestions regarding how to improve your chances of getting admitted to or transferring to the school of your choice and how to do well in your first year of law school and beyond.
Second, I also have direct experience with all of the topics that I will discuss in this blog. For example, I transferred from Brooklyn Law School’s part-time program to Harvard Law School’s full-time program. Given that I attended a first and second tier law school and was in a full and part-time program, I am able to competently discuss the experiences at both schools as well as address part-time student issues and the law school transfer process. Also, I was selected for both Law Review and Moot Court in my first year so I can share my successful perspective. In addition, I was also able to publish a 50 page paper in a law Journal while in law school so I can describe the process and give you pointers on how to put together and publish your own work. Finally, I successfully completed both the New York and New Jersey Bar Examinations and will walk you through what to expect and how to be successful on those two or any other bar exams.
Third, I can also provide sound advice on the job market. For my first summer, I worked in a public interest job at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. For my second summer, I was offered and accepted a position with a top large Wall Street Corporate law firm. Moreover, I very successfully completed the rigorous on campus recruitment process at Harvard. My perspective in this regard is also unique as I am a “mature” student with a M.B.A and over 10 years of Investment Banking experience. My age and work experience affords me the benefit to provide insightful comments on finding employment and the culture of large organizations.
Fourth, I started documenting all of my law school success tips while a student at Harvard Law School law so all of my advice was documented almost immediately after I had the experience. This blog will not bore you with general academic summaries or broad generalizations. The writer is someone who is in touch with exactly what you want to know and are struggling with.
Finally, this blog will answer your questions. During law school, I often had many questions and few answers and I personally had questions on all of the topics that I will discuss in this blog. While I ultimately received answers to my questions, it was often through a process of trial and error and after time consuming research. You will receive practical time and money saving tips that will help you on a daily basis in law school, and this advice is coming from a law student’s perspective and from someone who just went through what you are now or will go through.
I wish that I could have found a blog like this when I started the law school process as it would have been a great help. You though, will not have to worry about not having the information that you need and will benefit from my experience.
