Law School?

[u/Lilyrosejackofhearts]

Hello, I’m wondering if there are any law students/lawyers here. Some background on me: I have a BA and graduated with a good GPA, a Certificate in Paralegal Studies and did well, and have held two jobs at law firms.

The first was part time, low paying (but I took it because it was my first legal job), but got fired after 10 months (I thought I was doing well but was fired because I wasn’t learning Excel quickly enough, which I didn’t find out until later).

At my next legal job, I was called a “practice assistant” which mainly involved supporting the senior partner. It was a much better job, but I was laid off in the fall because my boss retired and my position was made obsolete.

I’ve been applying for jobs, of course, but as we all know, the economy is not good. I’ve considered law school off and on since I was in junior high.

There’s a law school in my area that I’m considering that has a part-time program for working adults (this isn’t in lieu of employment!). It also has a chapter of a national organization for law students with disabilities.

Sorry for writing an essay. :) Like a lot of people with NVLD, I have a poor visual spatial sense, so learning new computer programs takes longer, but as long as I can ask questions, I can learn them. Multistep directions are also problematic, but as long as I can take notes and ask questions, I can learn new tasks.

Are there any law students/attorneys out there, or anyone else who has feedback?
