Any Paralegals going through law school applications? Or Lsat study? (In the US). I am currently studying for the Lsat, and I would like hear anyone’s experience as a full time employee (or part time) who is studying for the Lsat or who is applying/getting ready for laws school.

I just finished my application cycle and am waiting for my results. I work full time at an AmLaw150 with required overtime and studied for the LSAT for about 5 months. It was really hard but I didn’t have a choice. The day I took my LSAT I immediately started grinding on personal statement and other materials and submitted everything about three weeks after my LSAT score.

I’m currently starting down the LSAT study path while having a nuts case/trial load and taking care of a house and dogs.

Lord only knows my stress levels are already tested as a lit para. 😂

Are there any fully remote lawfirms, ie you don't have to live in the state they have offices? I recently left a large lawfirm to go in-house which came with a huge paycut that is not going to be sustainable long term, but needed a remote position to be able to move. I'd like to keep my current job part-time but get back in a lawfirm too.

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
