Best Advice about Law School:
Don’t treat everything like it’s the end of the world—do what you have to do to get where you want to go, but don’t forget that the world does not revolve around law school. It’s important to be balanced and keep perspective because in the long run, the way you treat others will be much more influential on how far you get than any amount of A’s or amazing outlines.
