#PennLawLife: Closing Time – Reflections for the...
This is the final blog in a series from current students examines aspects of #PennLawLife. This is the last week of classes in my 2L year at Penn Law! Final exams loom in the not too distant future, as does an incredible summer delving into the depths of Mergers and Acquisitions in a London office. This week certainly strikes me as emblematic of a bittersweet transition, because it signifies the...

#PennLawLife: "Why did you choose Penn Law?"
This blog series from current students examines aspects of #PennLawLife. A lot of admitted students asked me the same question, “Why did you choose Penn Law?” I chose Penn Law for the courtyard. Strange as it may sound, when I visited, everyone in the courtyard seemed so happy and it’s true. Every law school that I visited had a library, and renowned faculty, but Penn Law was the...

#PennLawLife: Life of a Penn Law 1L, from the...
This blog series from current students examines aspects of #PennLawLife. I am a 2L. I am sitting here writing to you in early April, with finals looming, two papers unwritten, and I can’t say I’m very much on top of those tasks. I have spent much of my semester participating in countless student group and pro bono events, taking advantage of every student discount deal in the city, playing my...

Recent news about life in Philadelphia
Philly coffee shop ranked #1 in America “What makes Ultimo tick — and brings in Philadelphians in flocks? Simplicity, and a little bit of love,” the blurb reads, in part. “And many will argue that Philadelphia, often seen as the underdog to the big cities of the Northeast, is hands-down the winner for the best cup of coffee because the coffee scene there is hardly home to the...

#PennLawLife: The 1L Experience at Penn Law
This blog series from current students examines aspects of #PennLawLife. The first day of any new experience can seem a little bit intimidating. Add in the looming Socratic method and a collection of 250 people you barely know, and the first week of law school seemed to me like it would be downright scary. At Penn Law, though, I found that my first day was anything but scary. As I walked into my...

#PennLawLife: Faculty Focus
This blog series from current students examines aspects of #PennLawLife. A great faculty makes all the difference in legal education. I should have considered the character of each law school’s faculty when I was in the application process, but it actually figured into my law school decision very little. In hindsight, that could have been a disaster, but luckily the faculty at Penn Law are...
