I'm a college professor with a PhD and published books, I decided to go to law school at 44. I started going back in 2005, but a Hurricane named Katrina changed my life and so I went another way. Now, at 44 I have decided to go back because it is a dream of mine, and I don't want to regret it on my death bed.

I'm 45 and have decided it's time to finish my education to become an attorney. I started back in my 20's, I stopped because I had children and married life swept me off my feet. Now they are grown it's time for me to finish what I started. This gave me some hope. :)

I'm so happy to hear this. I always wanted to go to law school, but thought I was too old. I'm already ready for it again, now I have 2 masters degree

I thought this was a good Interview, I felt it was very encouraging as both participants were non traditional students in law school; as I will be when entering law school. I would of loved to learn more about developing a balance of a later age law school student and everyday adult life, for example work and kids. Overall I felt it was very influential.

There's also the case that an older student has a different personality meaning that when you approach law firms they are willing to work with you because you're more level-headed anything that contains a law firm they want to test who you are rather than what you really know because in general nobody wants to work with a jerk or someone who doesn't have emotional control

It's never too late. If you persevere you can achieve your goals.

awesome. Thanks for your video.

@nikkimaxon6362 4 года назад

Not sure if anyone is answering comments on this anymore, but here goes: Since I am older I don't think that asking professors from my undergrad for recommendations makes sense. Who are good people to ask for recommendations as an older student to aid in the law school application process?

@MaineOFresh 4 года назад

What about people that you have worked with professionally over the years

@imblessed8986 4 года назад

Good question! Maybe take a few classes and develop somewhat a relationship with your instructors?

@johnychen8143 4 года назад

Schools accept work recommendations. Your boss , a coworker or a good friend can do it for you. You don't necessarily need school recommendations.

@karenstrickland9958 3 года назад

I had my former boss, Pastor, and Sunday School Superintendent write my recommendations.

Hello, I have been out of school since 2008, so I asked my last two supervisors to write LOR for me. I did give them a copy of resume, and personal statement. I also gave them pointers and suggested they give examples of qualities that cross over to law. If you are active in the community, your place of worship. You want people who Know you well and your strengths etc. Do not ask family, a spouse etc. Hope the above is helpful.
