Law School Dad | I help homes & 1L's get started |

"1L of a lesson." - When should I start thinking and taking action re: attending law school? A LOT of incoming 1L's have mentioned that a lot of prospective and incoming law school advice online is way too perscriptive. Here is a descriptive breakdown of a proposed timeline for potential law students, which can start roughly 24 months before you ever enroll in any law school course. CC'ing admissions experts I've consulted Kris Tina Carlston & Ruben Fierros, incoming enrollees McKay Asay & Zack Hodgson, and anyone else who feels inclined to weigh in. Future posts will narrow in on parts of this general timeline. 🔌

This is a simple and very accurate timeline for law school apps. With the LSAT, getting as high of a score as possible helps SO much. I didn't fully prepare for the test as well as I should have due to extenuating circumstances (reminder to give yourself grace as well), but strongly recommend that prospective law students focus a lot of attention on that. The test is not perfect and by no means is a reflection of whether or not you can succeed in law school, but it can help immensely with admissions and scholarships. Great post Spencer!
