Hi there. I was academically dismissed after my third semester in my prior law school. The two year ABA requirement period of staying out will soon lapse and I was wondering if there is a chance to get back into law school. During my time off I overcame health issues and personal issues as well. I applied to an ABA approved paralegal program and did well in it. I want to complete my legal studies and become a lawyer, but will I be given a chance to accomplish that? I am starting to apply law schools that have a spring start date, but do I need to get a letter of good standing even after sitting out 2 years? Thank you for your insight.

What level of Law School will you be applying to?
-
You won't know until you apply. You may even be able to keep some of your old credits.

I'm doing the same thing, too, Merlin28. About 5 years ago I went to the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, after scoring a 166 on the LSAT and graduating magna cum laude, but I dropped out during finals weeks. Probably that left a mark on my transcript. And now I am going back to college to get a second bachelor's degree and apply to law school again.

not same thing. merlin no 166.

why did you drop out if in the final weeks and in honors? Can't you go back to the same school now and just redo the last term you didn't finish?

uh oh.

Cooley3L, I bet if I were to harass USC hard enough then they'd let me back in. But now I am thinking about becoming a land lord and having sex with my tenants. :o LOL!

That would make the eviction process awkward, no?

so, you are just making it all up then I take it? It was a joke?
Otherwise I don't get why you'd flush all those years of your life down the drain.

You may want to think hard about the idea of going back to law school. Blogs such as http://bagofshit.com (http://bagofshit.com) show that law graduates face a tough time finding post-graduate work. That being said, if law is something you really really want to do, then you should weigh the pros and cons yourself. Good luck with whatever choice you make.
will you stop making alts to market that weak site?

Like cooley said, why don't you go back to your old school ? Maybe you still have your credits and you won't need to start all over again ? Just asking, maybe you have your own reasons for choosing another school.
