In this episode of Legal Chutney, I sit down with Isabel Tahir, an Environmental and Land Use Attorney to discuss what it’s like to pursue law school as a second career after taking time away from school. Isabel shares her unique path, the challenges of starting fresh, and the lessons she’s learned about navigating law school with the perspective of prior professional and life experience.

We dive into:

• The decision-making process behind changing careers and choosing law
• Adjusting back to an academic setting after time off
• Leveraging past experience to find confidence and direction in law school
• Building connections and creating opportunities as a nontraditional student

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to head to law school after pursuing another career—or you’re thinking about making the leap yourself—this conversation with Isabel offers encouragement and practical advice.
