Careers draft

Make kindness your highest priority - kindness to your classmates, to yourself, to law school staff. The relationships you build in law school are incredibly valuable. And take tax and employment law, since those topics are relevant to pretty much everyone alive.

Take your work seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously.

Take advantage of professors offering office hours. Schools like Boalt hire (mostly!) brilliant lawyers. In addition to being able to gain greater context regarding the subject matter of the course, you can hear some great “war stories” and glean some helpful insights into the profession.
