Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we’re excited to have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones with us to talk about what matters in law school, long term, for your career.
In this episode we discuss:
- What activities to consider that will help your career over the long term
- Typically, which activities are employers most interested in?
- The importance of grades in law school
- Does the type of job you want determine the activity you should focus on?
- Should you take a hard class that is relevant, if you think you won’t get the best grade?
- Career planning for rising 3Ls
Thanks for listening!
When I went to law school, I knew that I would benefit from having a law degree. But, I wasn’t entirely sure how I was going to use my J.D. I knew I wanted to be an advocate for a cause I could be passionate about. I wasn’t entirely sure what that might look like, and I was open to opportunities that might not be the traditional practice of law.
