Hi! My best friend is struggling through her law school, just finished 1L and is seemingly in the bottom quartile. Any suggestions on tutor (in NYC) or how best I can to help? Thank you!

Did your best friend ask you for help? If they didn't specifically come to you to ask for help with this, please don't interject by giving them what you think they need to succeed. They need to figure out for themselves if law school is right for them and what support they need to succeed.

I'd advise her to work with her law school. They can connect her with a tutor or with other resources. The law school should have an academic success employee whose whole job is to help students who are struggling to improve.

I’m excited for my wedding but it’s almost 9 months away and I started planning it over a year ago. However, whenever I’m around friends/family it’s the only thing people want to talk to me about.
