Planning 2L Year To Maximize Your Law School Experience And Avoid Burnout

June 7, 2023 By Justine Huang Leave a Comment

Planning 2L Year To Maximize Your Law School Experience And Avoid BurnoutPlanning your 2L year can feel overwhelming, especially after 1L year where all your classes were arranged for you. You may have been told that you should do a journal, clinics, student orgs — and maybe you want to try all these things, but at the same time you also want to enjoy 2L year and not overload yourself! Coming out of 1L year, you may be feeling burnt out or feeling like you need to continue the nonstop grind into 2L year. But while 2L year can be busy, remember that it is a totally different ballgame from 1L year — you will be adding extracurriculars to the mix but also have full control over your schedule. It’s important to plan your law school commitments so that you don’t burn yourself out but also get involved in the activities that are most meaningful to you!

What’s on My Law School Bucket List

May 31, 2023 By Julia Gourary Leave a Comment

What’s on My Law School Bucket ListI can hardly believe it, but my first year of law school is coming to a close. With the end of 1L, I’ve been reflecting on both how far I’ve come and what experiences I want to have or things I’d like to accomplish during my remaining two years. During my senior year of college, I made a bucket list of things I wanted to do before graduation, so I thought, why not a law school bucket list? Though my list this time around is definitely more oriented towards building my career, I also tried to add a few things just for fun or for my own enrichment or curiosity.

I want to set goals for the future but also make sure to celebrate my past accomplishments, so I’m including a few items I’ve already gotten through. [Read more…] about What’s on My Law School Bucket List
