Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we’re talking about some scenarios that people often ask about if they’re incoming law students. We address concerns related to finding your motivation, fitting into law school, succeeding academically, and more.
In this episode we discuss:
- Being a first-generation law student
- Leveling the playing field if you have learning differences
- Fitting into law school and finding the confidence to keep going
- What aspects of law schools can be intimidating?
- How difficult is it to succeed academically?
- Setting yourself up if you want to transfer schools
- What if you signed up for law school, but you’re not sure you want to be a lawyer?
