<p>I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer for as long as I can remember (my parents say I argue too much). Throughout high school and undergrad, I took on a variety of internships and other programs relating to legal work and enjoyed all of them. So, instead of searching for a job senior year, I decided to go straight to law school.</p>
<a id="menu-1"></a><h2>What tips do you have for someone applying?</h2>
<p>First and foremost-enjoy the law! Law school is three years of intensive reading and logical reasoning, and given the time and money that you will spend in going to law school, it is very important, even going in, that you can enjoy the work of analyzing cases and thinking critically about the law.</p>

</center><p>As a cautionary tale, I’ve known people that have gone to law school because they wanted a higher-paying attorney job, or wanted to ride out the job market for a couple of years, or because they thought it sounded “interesting.” Many of these people ultimately found the study of the law tedious and boring, and some of them ended up not finishing their degree. The people that get the most out of law school are the ones who, going in, actually enjoy the day-to-day work of going through cases and understanding just what the law “means.”</p>

</center><a id="menu-2"></a><h2>What’s been your favorite part of the experience so far?</h2>
<p>My favorite parts of law school have been the student clinics. As a practicing attorney, I’ve come to realize that so much of the classroom experience at law school has only limited use in the real world (although, that’s a different story if your goal is ultimately to go into academia). Instead, the most educational and rewarding experiences I’ve had in law school have been the chances where I actually got to see what the practice of law was like first hand. If anything, I wished I had spent more time with clinics than classes at law school, which I believe would have better prepared me to be an attorney.</p>

</center><p>In my second year, I worked with a lobbying non-profit, and got to accompany the attorney to the State House and work on drafting potential legislation. Even more interesting, in my third year, I worked in the Boston District Attorney’s Office actually prosecuting cases. I was assigned a case load of my own, and had to present the State’s case for each of those cases in front of the judge every week. Near the end of this clinic, I actually even handled a bench trial of my own, which was an incredibly rewarding experience.</p>

</center><a id="menu-3"></a><h2>What’s been the biggest surprise?</h2>
<p>That law school and undergrad are completely different animals. One of the things that intimidated me early on was the number of students that had spent time outside of school doing things in the “real world.” Some of my classmates had spent time in the military; others taught in inner-city schools; still others had gone through the world of finance and consulting, and all of them appeared so much more ready to tackle law school than I was.</p>
<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1427824399252755" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

<script>(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});</script>
<div id="adlk-embed-1"></div><p>For many people going from undergraduate directly to law school, this was definitely a surprise and an adjustment. Students who had spent time working, or who had families, for example, treated law school like a 9-to-5 job: Come onto campus for classes, study, and finish homework in the libraries, and then go home at night and not worry about law until the next day. That was just a very different approach to school than I had been used to, and one that I had to adjust to, especially when it came to working with people in study groups to prepare for finals.</p>

</center><a id="menu-4"></a><h2>What are you doing post-graduation?</h2>
<p>I graduated in May 2011, and am now a second-year attorney at a firm, Akin Gump, in New York. I hope to work at the firm for a couple of years, and then transition over to work with the U.S. Attorneys’ office to gain more practice in being a litigator (in firms, younger attorneys have less of an opportunity to go into court and present cases).</p>
