Definitely do not apply to a non-ABA accredited law school.

It is technically possible to transfer. But you’re playing the lottery at that point (and that’s assuming you’re at the top 5% of your class at the end of 1L). One of my friends made that same gamble. Didn’t get to transfer and her law school no longer exists today.

Just go take an LSAT prep course. These back door methods do not work.

They’re scams. Anywhere from 1-50% bar passage rating, minimal job prospects, and they still cost as much as a real law schools.

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that.
