If you’re resourceful and self-motivated, you’ll be okay. Don’t wait for others to guide you—take the initiative to start building your career. There are some inspiring alumni stories that demonstrate what’s possible. Follow the institution’s rules, even if they seem unreasonable—avoid trouble, focus on doing well academically, participate in extracurriculars, and aim for internships that give you valuable experience, not just big names (boutiques and small-to-mid-tier firms can be great options). Most importantly, don’t listen to toxic people.

Your value is not defined by poor management at the institution. Many alumni have gone on to achieve great success at law firms, in the judiciary, or in independent practice. It might be challenging, but it’s far from impossible. I’ve seen it happen firsthand for others and know it can happen for you too.

Don’t settle for mediocrity—if you have better opportunities, take them. But if this is your path, make the most of it. Reach out to alumni for advice and guidance (not internships). Many will be willing to help.

Remember, as long as you work toward becoming an excellent lawyer over the next 5-10 years, your starting point won’t matter. And finally, a note for the seniors: honorifics aren’t used in the real world—it’s time to live in the present.

Bro chill the fuck with the all caps lol. But yeah long story short is that it has a sub par crowd administered by a system which doesn't know much of how the profession of law shapes outside college. You'll need 10x of normal efforts from some other place for a firm job. In house options used to good but are on a steady decline too. Little hope of improvement.
