July’s Theme: 0L to 1L

July 1, 2013 By Alison Monahan Leave a Comment

0L to 1L If you’re starting law school soon there’s a good chance you’re feeling a little bit anxious. Don’t worry, that’s normal! Law school’s a big step, it’s very expensive, and there’s a lot of conflicting information out there.

We’re here to help you sort through the noise to find an approach that works for the way YOU learn.

Starting this July, the blog will be organized around monthly themes. Our first theme is the 0L to 1L transition — in other words, how to get ready to be the best law student you can be. If you’re not sure what you should be working on this summer, or how to best prepare, tune in!

We’ll be talking about lots of different aspects of the law school experience: academic approaches, mental readiness, personal concerns, and more. As law school tutors and instructors, Lee and I have heard it all. Now we want to share some of our accumulated wisdom with you.

We hope you enjoy our July theme, and if you have questions don’t hesitate to let us know! We’re at your service.

Alison & Lee
