Break is nearing an end, this will be the final week. Then I will begin the final semester of law school, and my final semester at Drake University (as a student). Lately I have been answering the same questions pretty often. It's high time that I share with you a few thoughts on my final semester and my plans for after graduation.
I'm pretty excited to be entering my finals semester of law school. I'm taking 4 classes. Land Use Control, Administrative Law, Mass Media Law and an indpendent study class on current issues effecting real estate development. My independent study class requires a 25 page paper, which I am still developing exactly what I will write about. There are also a great deal of experiences I'm looking forward to. There is still much to do. Besides passing my classes, we'll have our 100 day party, Supreme Court Day, applications for the bar, finals and graduation.
I will graduate from Drake Law in May and then begin bar preparation. The preparation for the bar exam lasts about 7 weeks and then in late July, I'll take the actual bar exam. The actual exam takes about 3 days and is a combination of essay and multiple choice questions. Today the exam can be taken on computer.
After the bar exam, I have accepted a position as a Marketing Representative with R&R Realty Group here in West Des Moines, Iowa. I have worked at R&R Realty Group for about 3 years now, and I am very excited to be able to go to work for them this summer. I could not be more excited to start this next chapter of my life. I have the pleasure of working with a group of high achieving, high energy individuals who make going to work everyday a blast.
I won't be practicing law full time in the traditional sense as many of my friends will be doing. However, I know from experience that a law degree is multi-dimensional and I'll be able to put my law degree to good use in whatever path life leads me on.
Cheers!!
