Law School Admissions

Carl • 179

After scoring a 179 on the LSAT, I taught for the Demon to help others see how easy the LSAT can be. I was accepted to Yale Law, where I was a Coker Fellow and an executive editor of the Journal of Law & Technology. Now I work as a litigation associate at Debevoise & Plimpton in New York City.
