What To Do During Your 2L Summer Of Law School
What To Do During Your 2L Summer Of Law School
As a traditional law student at a three-year law school, you have two summer “breaks.” The first is between your first and second years of law school (your “1L summer”). The second is between your second and third years of law school (your “2L summer”). Obviously, your summers are a time to take a break from the pressure of case briefing, the Socratic method, and issue-spotter exams.
However, you should also treat your summers as valuable learning opportunities. In fact, your summers can effectively function as additional law school “semesters” where you can begin to apply your legal training to practical, real-world situations. We’ve discussed in another post what you should focus on during your 1L summer. In this post, we’ll offer some advice for law students trying to decide how to spend their 2L summer.
