Law School Insights: An Insider's Guide for Non-Traditional Students

Worried about law school impacting your family?

If you are a parent in law school, or are considering law school, your challenges are dramatically different than those of your classmates. As a non-traditional student you have substantial responsibilities to consider - a job, a spouse, children, long-term finances, and more. How can you possibly balance all of those things with the demanding academic requirements of law school? Can it even be done?

Whether you are just considering applying to law school, and are confused about all the factors that should go into your decision, or are already enmeshed in the chaos, this book offers practical advice, tips, and stories to support you on your journey. Law School Insights: An Insider's Guide for Non-Traditional Students was written by an attorney who attended law school in her late 30's while working full time and helping raise her two young children. She is intimately familiar with the unique challenges of balancing the needs and desires of family with the demands imposed by law school.

This book provides guidance to help you clarify your thinking and simplify your planning for maximum success in these key areas:

• Pre-Admission phase and LSAT preparation


• Deciding if you should you go to law school


• Getting through law school


• The Bar review and beyond

Dakota offers a very candid account of her own family's triumphs and failures as a means of preparing potential law students for what they might face, as well as showing current law students that they are not alone. Her family's stories are woven throughout the book, illustrating how the tips work, or why she wished she'd learned some lessons earlier. The advice and tips are mainly Dakota's own, but some are from her classmates who were also struggling with work, attending law school and raising children. Their experience can save law students and potential law students an abundance of time, frustration and money.
