Starting Law School in the Fall?

May 16, 2014 By Lee Burgess Leave a Comment

shutterstockCongratulations! You are starting the law school journey at the end of the summer. While this is a very exciting path you’re about to take, it can also be scary – especially if you’re not prepared. Lee recently wrote a few articles on About.com that discuss how to start your law school journey on the right foot.

  • Should I Take a Law School Prep Course (or a Pre-1L Course)? There is a bit of a debate going on about law school prep courses (or pre-law school courses) and whether they are necessary for law school success. As with most cases in the law, the answer is it depends. In this post, Lee shares a few thoughts on the subject. 
  • What Do I Need to Do to Get Ready for Law School? Many incoming 1Ls wonder what is the best use of their time this summer. Here are Lee’s suggestions for you.
