Welcome to the Law School Toolbox Podcast! Today, we’re talking about how to go about making difficult decisions in law school, because, let’s be honest, you’ll almost certainly have to make some. Now that the first semester is over, this is the time of year when many law students face a variety of choices about the direction of their legal education and career. We’ll talk about some of these dilemmas specifically, and offer suggestions for how to approach your decision-making process.
In this episode we discuss:
- Should you stay, or should you go? Deciding whether to drop out
- Which jobs should you apply for? And which should you accept?
- Choosing a clinic or externship
- Deciding whether to join a journal, and which one
- How to spend your time in law school, on a daily or weekly basis, or over a semester
- Different tools for helping you make thoughtful decisions
- Dealing with resistance to or disapproval of your choices
- Trusting your instincts
