When to start a family - law school PT or as an Assoc?
Posted October 22nd, 2009 by KareVB12First, finding this website and forums is such a huge help. It is hard when you feel so torn and don't know anyone else going through the same thing.
I currently work FT in a law firm, go to school PT and will be finishing next year and taking the bar. Although it has been tough balance friends, family, and planning a wedding would not trade any of it for the world. I love my job and found that it has been a huge asset for school as well as real exposure to the truth of being an attorney.

its been 25 years since I did this but....
Posted September 13th, 2009 by wendylHi everyone.
I stumbled on this site googling "how to study for the bar" and I'm so glad I did. Whata great site this is!
Here is my situation in a nutshell. (Can you tell I'm reading those nutshell books?!).
I graduated from law school in 1977 in Calif. and passed the bar the first time. I worked for about 6 years, married, had kids, moved out of state, and never looked at law or anything remotely related to anything legal (outside of my own divorce) until a few weeks ago.
Can I do it? PT Law School, FT Job, FT Family
Posted August 28th, 2009 by nancyhnI am seriously considering entering law school in a part-time evening program. I have two children 7 & 4 and I work full-time. Is this doable? Can I still enjoy my family, be successful at work, and a successful student? I'd love to hear from other women who have taken the same leap.
Being a pre-law student and being discouraged.
Posted July 28th, 2009 by MissBlackEyelinerI've read certain posts on Ms.Jd and found them absolutely intoxicating. These women are exaclty what I aspire to be one day and look up to so much.
I figured I'd make an account so that maybe I could meet some of you that may have advice for me, it would be very encouraging.
I was going to go to school for my political science degree, but after my first two years, I decided to go and get an A.S in Legal Assisting so that when I went back for my political science and eventually law school, I would have a reliable job.

Should I just give up?
Posted April 10th, 2009 by jlh1108I am at a crossroads and need to make a decision in the next week. I'm hoping someone can provide some insight into my situation that I no longer can see...or don't want to see.
