Pre-Law Mentoring

Tom offers pre-law mentoring to students considering law school. Being a lawyer has the potential to be a richly rewarding career, but it is not for everybody. Law school and legal practice often get mythologized to the point where students may be unclear what law school and legal practice are like. Tom’s pre-law mentoring helps potential students determine whether their long-term goals are consistent with legal practice and what types of careers may best fit their goals. Tom also helps students decide which law school to attend and wade through the often overstated claims that law schools make regarding their graduates’ employment rates and beginning salaries. He will help students select pre law and summer jobs during law school, focusing on whether the position provides an opportunity for skill building and career advancement.
