  • Yes, I know I disappeared for a whole semester but I'm back to check in with all my non-traditional aspiring law students.
    I'm a 3L now and will graduate in December. I can't believe how fast time is flying!

    Welcome back, Vanessa!
    Thanks for sharing your journey. I'm finishing up my undergraduate degree and hope to complete it by the end of the year so I can start preparing for the LSAT. I'm excited to begin my law journey as a non-traditional student. Seeing other inspiring non-traditional law students gives me the confidence to pursue my dreams without feeling discouraged.
    I'd love to connect with other inspiring law students. If anyone knows of any support or accountability groups for non-traditional law students, please let me know!

      Thank you! I always feel so bad leaving y'all hanging so long, ha!!
      Law school life is just a juggle.

    I missed you. Why did you move? Your apartment was dope. I will be entering law school on Fall of 2026 at 48 years old. You are an inspiraarion. Thanks for your content.

      The renters in my home moved out and I had to decide whether to go ahead and move into my house at the end of 2023 or try to find new renters for just 1 year since I am graduating this December. I miss being so close to the school but I love my house and it is only 10 minutes from the Courthouse where I have been interning. I guess I've reached the place where I would be commuting one way or another.
      For SURE I highly recommend living as close to the law school as possible for your first 3 semesters. You will likely have classes 4 days a week during those semesters and being close will be a lifesaver.
      After your 3rd semester, things change.

    Congrats to you ❤❤. Non-traditional law student here about to start my 1L year. Wondering if you would be willing to share outlines we could use as a guide?

    • @vanessamaxlaw
      @vanessamaxlaw  Месяц назад

      I don't think my outlines would be helpful for you, honestly. Barbri makes basic 1L outlines available to any law students. The BEST outlines to help you as a 1L student is to get one from someone who took your class with your professor RECENTLY at your school. Once you join club on campus, most have an outline database from members who did well on their exams. That is the best option for truly helpful outlines. Other than that, start with the Table of Contents for your textbook and use that as a guide for what your major headings will be as you start your own outline at the beginning of the semester.

      OK I see what you’re saying. Thank you so much for the advice, information and content you’re giving us. I can’t wait to be in my third year and close to graduation. Lol I can’t wait to graduate too.

    Good to see you back producing content. Question - did you find there to be any issues as a Non-Traditional student in securing Internships? Were there any real or implicit restrictions on what was available to you, and related, did you feel like your Internship was positively or negatively impacted by your employer's awareness of your age? (I see how being more mature could be seen as a positive by some employers -- and hope that was the case.)

    • @vanessamaxlaw
      @vanessamaxlaw  Месяц назад +1

      No issues at all. Actually I had wonderful internships. I have several non-traditional friends at school and everyone seems to have had great experiences. I think the non-traditional experience is more common than most of us think.

    Hello,
    How did you attend rehearsals and be at church for Sunday to sing. I am thinking about joining the praise team in September and thinking what will that look like. Making a commitment and putting the Lord first while doing law school.
    I am assuming Sunday was your day off?
    I plan to start school in August 2025, so there is time to join the praise team and adapt.
    You came to mind so that is why I am reaching out to you.
    Warm regards,
    Ms. Pat

      You will have time. The first year of law school is definitely demanding of your time but you still need to take care of yourself and do things that help your spiritual and mental health. That's different for everyone. In my case, doing rehearsals and going to church were part of me staying in touch with my "normal" life. Yes, I had to be disciplined to leave and go home to study. Sometimes I missed rehearsals and sometimes I had my iPad with me and was reading for class in between breaks recording in the studio. I found ways to make it work. You can do it.
