1st Lieutenant  Officer Steven Arango, USMC, and Federal Law Clerk to U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr. in the Southern District of Texas shares his wisdom about life as a law student and beyond.  We cover a range of topics including JAG Corps, Study Skills, post-law school employment and the importance of mentors. 1st Lt Arango works with veterans attending college and law school to help them succeed in their academic studies.  Our discussion is of great value to military personal and anyone else thinking about, enrolled in or graduated from law school.

Some key takeaways...

1. Build relationships with professors while in law school.  They can help you years after you graduate.
2. Find a mentor to help you navigate the legal world.
3. Outline your classes on your own. The outlining process is where you can do your best learning.
