A law school education is more than a random assortment of unrelated classes and jobs. It is a process whose value can be maximized through the selection of the right summer internship.
One of the ultimate goals of attending law school is, of course, to be employed after its completion. The summer internship is the most practical way to discover what interests you, as well as to land a job you want. After all, many employers view this time as an extended interview process. Therefore, students should treat this as an opportunity to show employers their legal prowess, willingness to work diligently, and interest in the position. |

Groups study sessions can be an important part of your law school experience. Not only will they help you further your educational goals, these sessions can also help you make the adjustment from undergraduate to law school student. In these sessions, you will meet other first and second year law students who want to strengthen their writing skills, learn more about how to dissect a case and how to formulate intelligent arguments using case law. Some law schools offer group study sessions, but you are free to join one of many independent groups started by students at any time. |

Everyone “networks”, whether it’s through people you meet at work, or “friends-of-friends” met at parties and other social gatherings. However, networking encompasses a lot more people than you may think; law school is another place where people network, meeting fellow classmates and professors, guest conference speakers, and school advisors. The key is to view networking as a symbiotic relationship, introducing others to your “contacts” and finding that they will gladly introduce you to people as well. Chances are when you begin law school, your mind is focused on surviving Civil Procedure and not chatting to classmates with an eye on building your professional network.

Finding the appropriate balance is crucial for success in all areas of life, law school included. Now that the process of getting into law school is complete having taken the LSAT and been accepted, we must find the appropriate balance between school and life. When striking this balance try to remember the following: - Law school is a marathon, not a sprint
- Friends and family will be there after law school - don’t forget about them
- The world continues to spin, even when we are in law school
- Focus on the goal and not on the speed-bumps that may be encountered along the way

Networking is the most effective and successful way to getting your summer job or an associate position after law school.

Professors hate them and students love them. The debate is never ending to determine whether commercial outlines are a smart shortcut or are they a waste of time? There are sound theories on either end. But first, what is a commercial outline? |
