When I was in high school between 2004-2008 this was one of the busiest law sites on the web! Now its dead. R.I.P LSD.
^As a late joiner myself, I pretty much wondered why there were barely any new posts, is there any other hotspot people on here post on or is that it?
2010 Graduate Poli Sci
URM - mom from sierra leone, west africa/ dad jamaican with portugese descent (never met father)
will be first college grad in family.
3.0-3.1 GPA at graduation if I maintain current pace of straight A's. (Upward Trend-two straight years of all A's. 0.73 GPA after freshman year)
167 LSAT - Shooting for 171-172 on retake
Compelling Personal Statement and LOR's. Former gang member/been stabbed in torsow/ scars to prove it. Not proud of it, just stating the facts. Left gang and decided to attend college at 22 yrs. old after best friend was sentenced to 18 years in prison (fed time-no parole). REALLY turned my life around
Started a youth mentorship program here in Atlanta....My Brother's Keeper which links underprivileged black males with black male college students.
I'm shooting for T-14. HYS and other top of the heap schools etc.
What are my chances?
Without discussing the merits of online law school, I have already decided that's what I will do. I am planning on sitting for the Wisconsin bar. I will get a significant raise at my current job if I have a law degree. So having a substandard degree is not a problem for me. The question is: Which online degree is the quickest and cheapest that Wisconsin will accept? Alternatively, is there another state I should be looking at? Thank you
What should I major in and should I get a minor? The last thing I'd want it to complete a major that is useless to me when applying to law schools.
Didnt notice a military thread out there, so I thought I would start one. Any military out there??
Welcome to LSD. I have found that there aren't many "duty experts" in that arena on this forum. Try the Army FLEP Facebook page. There seems to be a good discussion going on there.
Good Luck.
Let me write War & Peace about myself first... (Future to past) I am taking the LSATs June 6, 2011. Not sure how I will do, I am hoping for 160s. I am presently working on a MBA, 25% through program and have a 4.0. Graduated with BA in History, Magna Cum Laude 3.82. I did all this while working full time. I have had a few legal entanglements, including probation with adjudication withheld upon completion of probation (resisting arrest without violence). Yet I have never been convicted of a felony. Juvie record is dicey, with no convictions, but also should be sealed and is over 25 years old. I never made it to high school (that is right, never made it), got my GED at 18. My parents never finished high school (dad got GED, not sure about mom). So I am the first person in my family to finish college. My son is the first person to finish high school (but now he is smoking his life away). I am basically white (13 races, complete mutt) and was hood raised in Gary IN and Detroit MI.
The question... Does my background (legal entanglements) put at risk any potential to actually practice law? I would think with my family background, I am the sort of candidate/student that schools and ABA want (it makes for good PR). So anyone practicing law or going through similar process is welcome to offer advice...
Thank you
So, I got accepted into a top 100 law school at the tender age of 52. I am excited in that I always wanted to be a lawyer, took my first lsat back when dinosaurs walked the earth, but other priorities prevailed. Will start fall 2011; but have a question...... how will my "classmates" view me? really don't want 4 years (going part time due to job) of being alienated.... just curious.
