Law School Those considering whether to apply to law school are advised to explore seriously the advantages and disadvantages of professional legal training.
Law school requires a large measure of commitment, both of time and expense.
Many persons with law degrees have pursued fruitful and enjoyable careers, but not all graduates of law schools have practiced law and not all practicing attorneys have been satisfied with their jobs. Individuals at Career Services , the Counseling Center and other career advisors may be able to help you to evaluate a range of job options and to consider what types of careers are suitable for persons with your aptitudes, interests, aspirations, and priorities. You should be aware, however, that personal experiences vary widely. Thus there are good reasons for consulting a variety of persons as a means of gaining a fuller sense of the range of possibilities afforded by law degrees. Additional sources are available to supplement personal contacts for information on law as a possible career.
