About to Enter Law School?

The months before law school are filled with anticipation – and more than a little anxiety. After all, how long have you waited for this process (the process of becoming a lawyer) to begin? Many of us have experienced that rich mix of excitement and apprehension.

You have undoubtedly heard that your life is about to change drastically.  It is. You are approaching what will most likely be several years of the most intensive, exhausting, challenging and stimulating experience you will ever encounter in your life.  Did you excel in college?  Were you in the top third, quarter, or even ten percent of your graduating class?

Your law school classmates will be those who can answer “yes” to those questions, too.

You are entering an academic/professional community of people who are used to excelling, who pride themselves on performing at their highest levels, and who are goal-oriented. Does this sound intimidating? It shouldn’t. You belong in this group. You and those around you are intent on learning, doing, becoming, achieving … serious about entering a respected, noble profession.
