About Evelyn 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.

hey i am intrested in becoming a lawyer in a couple of years specializing in divorces,physcology everything else but criminal.In order to become top of the line what do you recommend for me to study in college ?Thanks i will intrested in your responce.
Answer
Hi Juliz,
The nice thing about going to law school is that it doesn't really matter what you study in college. You can apply to law school with an undergrad degree in anything from physics to fine arts. Law school admission committees always seek to admit a well-rounded class of students, so they like to see applicants with different types of degrees. While an undergrad degree in criminal justice or political science might help you slightly in law school, it really won't do much. I got my degree in political science and I didn't feel it helped me for law school purposes. Therefore, I recommend that you study something in undergrad that you are interested in and really enjoy. This way, you are more likely to make good grades, and law schools do look at your undergrad GPA when you're applying.
I hope this helps! Good luck!
