You got into law school. Congratulations! Now what?

In this episode of the Grad Missions Office Hours Podcast, the team breaks down what “0L” really means: the summer before your 1L year begins. And contrary to what Reddit may have told you, you probably do not need to spend it buried in casebooks and color-coded highlights.

Instead, Autumn, Lizanne, and Morgan walk future law students through the real preparation that matters before 1L: building routines, protecting your mental health, setting boundaries with family and friends, creating sustainable habits, networking with attorneys, and learning how to survive the pressure cooker of law school without losing yourself in the process.
