Enjoy and ask any questions you have in the comments.

So glad I found this channel. I’m 44 and applying to law school and preparing for the LSAT as we speak. I really want to try to get this done pretty quick but not sure if that’s realistic.

You're inspiring. I am motivated to start my law school journey, too. Will be 46 a couple of days! Thank you for sharing!!!

I love your videos. Keep making them. I am finishing a master's degree and will enter law school at 48 years old. Just like you I will llive right across the street from campus. Your journey is very inspirational.

I've been watching your videos since your first one but just subscribed. About to turn 41 and will be starting law school next year. I've decided to take the online route as it will still allow me to work and make money. Thanks for all these encouraging videos.

It's so nice that the ABA is allowing the online schools options to be offered now. I think it's going to make law school more accessible for MANY people just like you who need that flexibility. It will require MUCH discipline but you can do it! Thanks for subscribing

@@vanessamaxlaw Absolutely! I did my Bachelor's at a brick and mortar but my Master's was online, and I graduated this last December, so I'm sure it'll be fine. Our world is set up different than before, so online education is being more widely accepted. I'm okay with it and welcome it wholeheartedly. Plus, I clerk in the courtroom for a presiding judge in the county I reside so I'm getting hands-on experience of how things are done and presented in court.

Hi there!! Me three :)

[@vanessamaxlaw]

Go for it!

Watching this on my 20 min drive home from class. I’m so envious of your commute!

[@vanessamaxlaw]

My number one piece of advice has consistently been "live as close as possible to the school." Sometimes that's a 20 minute commute and that's okay. Here in Houston, I have classmates who drive over an hour each way. Traffic here is awful. The short commute is heaven!!!

[@TheMitch13]

@@vanessamaxlaw that is crazy! I do t mind the drive though. I listen to our recorded lectures. Or sometimes just decompress!

[@vanessamaxlaw]

@@TheMitch13 making use of that time is so good... even if it's the "decompress" moment. It's nice to have a little transition between class and the next thing on the list.

[@wendishaver9520]

Thank you for making these videos! I am older non traditional student thinking of law school.

[@vanessamaxlaw]

So glad you are here. It's doable. Time is going to pass regardless of whether you make that leap. You may as well do the thing you've been wanting to do. Everything else can work around it.

Bless you and Thank you! @@vanessamaxlaw

Con Law was a 1L class for me.

[@vanessamaxlaw]

They don't plan it until our 3rd semester at STCL.

[@AzizaMorgan]

Hi great video. I missed what software program you are using to organize your weekly class schedule/material. It's lovely.

[@monicasaxon5670]

Looks like Microsoft OneNote

[@vanessamaxlaw]

OneNote.... and I made a video showing how I use it more fully.

[@xoxo-vp7ww]

Super excited to have found your channel. Also pursuing a law degree as a non traditional student. Woohoo!!🎉

[@vanessamaxlaw]

Thanks for following along!
