Will Law School Friendships Become Obsolete in the Remote Learning Environment?

September 9, 2020 By Christen Morgan Leave a Comment

Will Law School Friendships Become Obsolete in the Remote Learning Environment?Well, the quick answer to this unforeseen debacle is, no. The realistic answer however, is no, but it will take effort to make and maintain these friendships.

If you’re a 2L or 3L, this is perhaps of less concern to you. Chances are, you made tangible connections with students, in a pre-COVID world that afforded you ample opportunity for face to face interactions and quality in-person time that has led to strong friendships. However, if you’re a 1L, the concern of not being able to build new friendships is legitimate. [Read more…] about Will Law School Friendships Become Obsolete in the Remote Learning Environment?

10 Things Every 1L Can do to Successfully Navigate their First Virtual Semester of Law School

August 31, 2020 By Christen Morgan Leave a Comment

10 Things Every 1L Can do to Successfully Navigate their First Virtual Semester of Law SchoolWhen you took the LSAT, watched “Legally Blonde” or completed numerous law school tours, you may have started to envision what your law school experience would be like. Although your vision would likely vary based on your exposure to different school settings, it’s unlikely that you visualized your first semester being primarily behind a laptop screen, within a videoconferencing interface, while sitting on your bed, dining room table or floor of your home. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic bears down with not much sign of relief in sight, many law students will have to complete their Fall semesters virtually. While this may be a welcome benefit for 3Ls and maybe even some 2Ls, this virtual reality will likely pose valid concerns for incoming 1Ls who may not have had the opportunity to participate in the traditional in-person, law school experience.

Tips to Help You Make a Successful Adjustment to the Virtual Interview Process

August 17, 2020 By Christen Morgan Leave a Comment

Tips to Help You Make a Successful Adjustment to the Virtual Interview ProcessOk I’m sure we can all agree that interviews are not fun. Working up the courage to convince a panel of people that you’re the right candidate for a job, can be downright nerve racking causing even the most prepared person to lose their grounding and fall off course. Now, as if a regular interview wasn’t difficult enough, the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown a wrench into the mix, transitioning most, if not all, employers to a virtual interview process to screen job candidates while maintaining safe and healthy social distancing. So not only do we have to be concerned about being prepared to answer interview questions, we also have to hope and pray that our WIFI connection can hold up throughout the call, our quarantined family (four legged friends included) don’t interrupt in some way and that we don’t look crazy delivering our elevator pitch to a camera, as opposed to actual people. Being on video is already an awkward hurdle to work through, but it should not be the reason why you don’t make a good first impression. Considering these changes, I’ve provided a few tips below to help you make a seamless adjustment to the new world of virtual interviewing that is likely here to stay for some time.
