7 Ways to Use LinkedIn as a Law Student

July 15, 2020 By Stephanie Nweke Leave a Comment

7 Ways to Use LinkedIn as a Law StudentDo you cringe every time you hear about LinkedIn? I used to too until I began to learn how I could use it as a law student. Yes, having a LinkedIn profile is important for professionalism purposes, but I believe it’s much more than that. It’s a tool I use to hone different skills, but I also use it to deeply connect with other like-minded people, both in and out of the legal profession.

The best thing is that there’s no one “right” way to use LinkedIn, which leaves great room for creativity. You surely don’t have to be robotic and only talk about law school or only engage with attorneys. Don’t be afraid to show your personality and interests either. The rest of this post will give you specific ideas on how you can get started on LinkedIn: [Read more…] about 7 Ways to Use LinkedIn as a Law Student

Finding a Mentor in Law School

October 7, 2019 By Stephanie Nweke Leave a Comment

Finding a Mentor in Law SchoolMost successful (and honest) attorneys will tell you that they are not self-made. They will tell you that they had people who invested in them and supported them along their law school journey. This is the power of mentorship. Legal mentors are important because they are a source of inspiration, hope, and wisdom. They can challenge you and hold you accountable. Most of all, they completely understand what it’s like to be in your shoes.

The problem is mentors don’t merely drop out of the sky. And sometimes, the mentors you receive through formal mentorship programs are hit or miss. Don’t be discouraged! There are many avenues for you to find someone that you connect with and who is willing to invest their time in your journey.
