Non-Traditional Students / Re: What Type of Law do you want to Practice« on: January 24, 2008, 12:23:29 PM »
I am hoping to be a public defender (eventually moving to death penalty appeals) so: Criminal law.
Nice to see such a variety of interests, and less emphasis on $$$ or perceived prestige. I love my nontrad 0Ls! 1102
Non-Traditional Students / Re: Scared to return to law school... Not sure where to go....« on: January 24, 2008, 12:20:20 PM »
I bet you have developed a lot of useful skills from raising a child which could make law school a whole different experience the second time around. Time management, patience, focus, a broader viewpoint, etc.
If you have a good safety net for those times when your daughter is sick/ off school, or you are drowning in work, I think school becomes a lot more possible. A school with a great LRAP program might make the debt easier as well. Good luck in whatever path you choose to pursue! 1103
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Let's talk about soft factors« on: January 24, 2008, 12:08:02 PM »
To me, soft factors are anything other than LSAT/GPA. Great list, just one addition from me- working while in school. I worked a full time job and a part time job while finishing up my undergrad, and am hoping that it weighs in my favor. I guess I would also include things like having a professor at the school recommend you to admissions, or who your LORs come from as soft factors.

Where should I go next fall? / Re: Texas 1L taking questions...« on: January 21, 2008, 07:35:18 PM »
Any news about LRAP developments? I would love to go to UT, but am planning on going into public interest, so it is a huge concern for me.
