Abstract
How does becoming a lawyer change you? After taking the LSAT, soliciting recommendations, writing personal statements that narrate your life and purpose for pursuing law, perhaps moving to a new city, and finally enrolling in a program often at great financial expense, you enter a classroom that may at first look familiar. But appearances can be deceiving. This will be unlike prior educational experiences.
