So what is it like to be a first-year law student? This is a question you need not ask. In an effort to share this experience with you, we have asked a group of first-year law students to chronicle their first year of law school in the form of a blog.

This year's group is comprised of five full-time day students and two part-time evening students. Each of these students, coming from different backgrounds and different life circumstances, have found themselves in the same place – likely for different reasons and different motivations. We have asked them to be forthcoming, upfront, and honest about their experiences as they share with you the rigors, challenges, and successes they experience during their first year of law school.

We invite you to check in weekly to follow and even cheer them on as they journey through the 1L experience.
