Is the Cost of Law School Really Worth It? 

Hi, i am Moiz Awan from Pakistan. i have completed my 3 year law degree from university. now how can i be a international lawyer. or how can i start my practice aboroad.

@@Shopon1click Good question. I have a video all about the options for practicing law in the U.S. as an international student or foreign-trained lawyer. You can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bSwQeARyEKM.html

@@AngelaVorpahl Thank you

@@AngelaVorpahl how can i contact you privately..?

My pleasure! I'm so glad you found it helpful! Are you thinking about law school as your next big thing? :)

Hi Maju! I'm definitely not an expert in the JD/LLM process for international students and foreign-trained lawyers, but I know a coach who is! Reach out on Instagram to @talithakrenk She knows all about the process and strategy and factors to keep in mind!

i have also finished my LL.B

Good question, and it will largely depend on the relationship you have with your current employer. Some evening students are transparent with their employers that they are going to law school, and either (i) intend to leave the company, or (ii) want to move to the legal department side of the business where they currently work. Depending on the relationship, some legal employers have let students take off the 10-12 weeks of their summer to intern, and then come back full time during the semester. In other cases, students may not want to let the employer know that they're attending law school (or intending to leave), and so one potential option is to go through the interview process for your 1E summer, and based on the opportunities you're offered, decide if you would like to continue with your current job or take the legally-related opportunity. And make the same calculation for your 2E and 3E summers. :: That being said, I wasn't an evening student so I'm sure there's better advice out there that you get from people who actually experienced the process themselves. I would definitely recommend reaching out to the extremely generous evening-students-turned-lawyers who I interviewed to make this video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zZYwRZ5EImE.htmlsi=YcOCAFXBbA22RmYm) to get their perspective.

Hi Santania! That's awesome! I'm so glad the video could shed some light on the process and that it aligned with what you were thinking. I also host a free FB group for law students and aspiring law students looking for clarity and support in their law school journey, would you like the link to join?

@@AngelaVorpahl yes much appreciated.. :)

Well at least it's quite versatile. That's why I think it's better for me to go to a lower ranked law school like many MSU which is ranked #91 ?

Hi Islam! I'm not an expert in this area, but I know a coach who is: reach out to @talithakrenk on Instagram, she specializes in helping international students and foreign-trained lawyers navigate the U.S. law school system.

Everyone has to pass the BAR exam if you actually want to practice law.
