Here are some of my tips for getting those letters of recommendation that law school applications ask for!

However, I am always happy to help if you are applying after college as well! This blog post is also focused on academic letters as opposed to professional ones, since not everyone will have internships/jobs or professional connections who can write letters for them!

If you’ve read my previous post detailing my Law School Imposter Syndrome, you know that I constantly deal with a great deal of stress and anxiety from law school.
