About r/AspiringLawyers
A more open well-moderated subreddit for those in law school AND those interested in law school. Not to be confused with /r/lawschooladmissions which is about the application process, this subreddit is meant to discuss life/challenges/ins and outs of law school itself. Questions about admissions (LSAT, undergrad GPA, "chance me's" are for /r/lawschooladmissions or /r/lsat and ideally wouldn't be posted here.
