Thriving as a Non-Traditional Student: Insights From Current Law Students

Details

This webinar's panel features an admissions professional alongside three current law students who began their legal education after spending time in the workforce, serving in the military, parenting, or pursuing other personal or professional pursuits. Together, they'll share candid insights into what it truly means to enter law school as a "non-traditional" student.

You'll hear how these panelists' diverse life experiences have become strengths in the classroom, giving them valuable perspective, discipline, and leadership skills that have enhanced their own learning and that of their peers. We'll also explore practical strategies for rebuilding academic stamina; regaining confidence in your legal writing ability; and balancing the demands of school, work, and family responsibilities.
