How to Prepare for Your 1L Year

This summer has been crazy, but that is not stopping me from getting my stuff done! Here is a video on how I am currently preparing for law school. Enjoy!


Scholarships for Law Students:

  1. Checking the websites for law schools that you do not attend for outside scholarship lists is necessary and may save you TONS of time

  2. You can always google “law firm scholarships” or “scholarships for law students”
