How to Prepare for Law School (Besides Taking the LSAT)

Listen Later

The LSAT may help you get into a J.D. program, but it doesn’t do much to prepare you for the law school experience.

In this episode, Branden and Jelena talk with Suzy Bernstein, a current 2L at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law, about smart law school prep that sets you up for success. Hint: it’s not all about stacking your resume.

Listen and learn:

  1. How a pre-law school job can help you confirm that a legal career is right for you
  • Why some self-doubt before law school is totally normal (and doesn’t mean you’re going to be a bad law student)
  • When it’s smarter to put your feet up and read a book rather than scrambling to add to your credentials
  • How to prepare for law school extracurriculars
  • Why you shouldn’t (and usually can’t) have an outside job during 1L year
  • How to get a law-related summer job in the age of remote work
  • Why the pandemic might actually help you network

    • Thanks to Suzy Bernstein for joining us to share her experiences!
