AboutEvelyn R. Calvoni Expertise I can answer questions about law school and the process of applying to law school. I recently graduated in May 2008, so it's all fresh in my mind. I can answer questions about how to apply to law school, the LSAT, getting letters of recommendation, writing your personal statement, etc. I can also answer questions about what life is like during law school and the different opportunities students should take advantage of during their law school experience, i.e., law review, networking events, moot court, clinics, internships, what classes to take, etc. I can also answer questions about what it's like to look for a job, what are good jobs to get right out of law school, and general questions about writing cover letters and resumes. I can also answer questions about judicial clerkships after law school.
Experience I am a recent law school graduate (May 2008). I have been through the process and have taken advantage of many different opportunities throughout my three years in law school. I've done internships, a clinic, been on law review, been on moot court, and participated in several moot court competitions. I am currently clerking for a state Court of Appeals judge.
Education/Credentials I have a BA in Political Science.

Question I know that is not recommended working the 1st year of law school. But what about the second year?
Answer Hi James. I worked my second year of law school at a mid-size firm. I also did an internship and a clinic, and it was fine. You might have to lighten up your course load a bit, but it should be fine. Working during your second and third year, in my opinion, is actually a good thing because it allows you to gain practical, hands-on knowledge in addition to what you're learning in the classroom. Hope this helps. :)
