When preparing for law school, most people immediately think about study habits, class participation, and managing final exams. While it is important to focus on those aspects of law school, this post focuses on something equally as important—how to cultivate a positive mindset in law school. In the midst of academic pressure, competitive personalities, and let’s face it, the bar exam always lurking in the background, law school can present some pretty significant challenges to staying upbeat. To help set you on the right path, we’ve provided you with five ways to cultivate a positive mindset in law school.
Getting into good habits in law school is a must, and starting those habits during your first year of law school can be incredibly beneficial. Law school is a different challenge than undergrad. We have found most students in their first year try to apply the same their same strategies that they have used throughout their education.

In this post, we discuss ten key habits of successful law students.
It’s no secret that law school can be incredibly difficult. Preparing for class, having one final exam make up your entire course grade, and just the sheer amount of material you have to work through can be overwhelming. Today, we focus on law school tutoring. This can be a great options for those who feel overwhelmed or who need some additional support throughout their law school studies. Read on as we do a Q&A with a law school tutor!
Many students start law school and realize that the workload is much more intense than they anticipated. There are a number of different strategies that students can use to combat the heavy workload. From revamping study schedules to joining a productive study group, there are no shortage of options to help you succeed in law school. One such strategy: hiring a law school tutor. Tutoring can be very valuable if you’re looking for one-on-one attention to run through and understand key concepts. And, you don’t need to engage with a tutor in person! In this post, we discuss approaching law school tutoring online.
The single biggest issue confronting any law student is how to turn their time in school into a successful career. To remedy this concern, law schools host on-campus interviews (OCIs), where legal employers come to campus to interview students for internship placements. While each school goes about this process differently, there are a few universal principles each student should know before applying. What follows are 10 strategies to ensure you make the most out of your OCI experience.
A trip through your local bookstore likely yields many books touting endless advice about how to successfully navigate the difficulties of law school. Unfortunately, there tends to be a dearth of guidance when it comes to navigating law school…with a family. This post hopes to help those who are taking more than just a backpack off to law school. Here, we compile our best advice for managing family obligations while in law school.
Every attorney has a different path after law school. Some law school graduates have no plan to practice law. Others don’t quite know what they want to do after law school. And still, other law school graduates know precisely what they do (or do not!) want to do after law school. This leads to a question if you choose to work in a law firm: do you want to stick with the partner track? Or is a staff attorney more your style? Bear in mind that this decision is deeply personal and depends upon what you want in your legal career, your family circumstances, and your long-term personal and career goals. Here, we discuss some of the general differences between choosing the partner track or becoming a staff attorney.
Getting into law school can be incredibly difficult. For many students, it can take years of preparation! If you’ve received an acceptance letter or two, it’s probably because you had an impressive resume stretching far beyond grades. You likely participated in some clubs, completed community service, and possibly held some leadership positions while in undergrad. Yet your motivation to join these groups was not merely about developing a resume. You probably joined these clubs to build a skill, network with like-minded individuals, or just have some fun. The same can be said about participating in a student organization while in law school. To help get you started, here’s a list of the most common law school extracurriculars and clubs. Read more
The first semester of law school can be exhilarating, energizing, and exhausting all at the same time. Then those few weeks hit, where you’re likely spending time with friends and family for the holidays, but in the back of your mind, you’re just waiting to receive your grades from the first semester, eagerly waiting to see how well all your hard work paid off. The moment the grades come in may be filled with the feelings of “Wow, look at that! Maybe I can actually do this whole lawyer thing!” But for many others, the reality looks more like, “What?… How can that be?… I worked so hard!… I’ve never had a final grade this low before.” We’re here to tell you that scoring lower than expected on your first round of law school exams is not rare, and we’re here to help you improve your second-semester law school grades!
With 10 minutes left, you submit the last exam of your first semester of law school. You close your laptop and walk down to the proctor to turn in your paperwork. As you exit the exam room, a feeling of elation and relief washes over you. You did it! You completed your first semester of law school despite some back-to-back final exams. Now what? While you are waiting for your exam grades to come out, make sure to take some time for yourself and prepare for the road ahead.

You did it! Another semester finished, and another calendar year behind you. Whether you are a 1L, 2L, 3L, or a night student, you likely just finished final exams and are on your way to the next semester and are feeling the pressure to do well in law school.

The schedule for first-year law students is fairly standard without much (if any) flexibility in selecting classes. First-year core law school classes consist of those subjects typically tested on the bar exam, and these courses also establish a baseline for students to build upon in subsequent years. Without a rigid set schedule like they experienced during their 1L year, many law students wonder what courses are best to take during their 2L and 3L years. The answer is multi-faceted. There are a few outcomes to consider, including what courses best lead to success during law school, on the bar exam, and in your career. In this post, we address which courses to take during your 2L and 3L year of law school to best set you up for success in law school and beyond! Read more
