Guiding aspiring lawyers to achieve their dreams of attending top law schools
I'm Rebecca, an attorney who is passionate about helping others achieve their law school goals.
I'm a graduate of Princeton University, and hold a J.D. and M.S. from the University of Michigan Law School and School for Environment and Sustainability. I've worked as a scientist, writer, teacher, attorney, federal judicial law clerk, and legal scholar. During law school, I served as a senior editor of the Michigan Law Review and taught an undergraduate upper-level writing course. I also have several years of experience guiding applicants on their law school application journeys.
As a nontraditional applicant with a STEM background, I remember how confusing the law school application process can be. I understand what law schools are looking for, and how to present your unique story in the most compelling way. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and writing expertise with you to help you turn your law school ambitions into reality!
This package is for applicants who are either just starting to put together their applications, or already have drafts and want a professional review of their materials. The package includes:
Additional custom review can be added as needed.
This package is for applicants who have already submitted applications and want guidance on follow-up, such as writing letters of continued interest, scholarship negotiation, or waitlists. The package includes:
Additional custom review can be added as needed.
Feel like you need more feedback after the first round of consulting and editing? You can book additional custom consulting at a rate of $250/hour, whether it's for live consulting time, editing, or other advice. However, I only offer additional consulting to clients who commit to one of the full consulting packages above.
I encourage my clients to use our time effectively: much of my feedback in your first round of edits can be applied to other essays you may have to write. As a result, additional rounds of edits are rarely needed.
I specifically do not offer "full service" consulting. When I was applying to law school, I remember feeling like all I needed was a little extra help—someone to lay eyes on my application, help me understand a few additional details about the process, and feel confident in my materials. I struggled to find a consultant who was a good fit; I felt like their attention wasn't really on me because I wasn't a full time client. What I offer is exactly what I wish I'd had access to when I was applying—all at an affordable and transparent price point. If you are searching for end-to-end support, there are dozens of fantastic full service consultants elsewhere.
In addition to a personal statement, many applicants submit a diversity statement; an addendum addressing character and fitness issues (such as an arrest) or potential flaws in an application (such as a bad grade or a gap in your resume); and/or "Why X" statements (essays which address why you want to go to that particular law school). Some schools offer prompts for additional essays beyond these.
Ideally, you will have a list of law schools you are planning to apply to, as well as drafts of your personal statement, resume, and any other supplemental essays you plan to submit. You should have your undergraduate transcript and GPA, any other transcripts, and LSAT or other test scores such as GRE available (if you haven't taken the test yet, you should have a sense of what score range you are aiming for). You should also have, at minimum, a list of three references from whom you plan to ask for letters of recommendations.
We can frontload the live consulting time to brainstorm ideas, and establish a schedule for you to write your first drafts. You can always add additional custom consulting after the first round of edits are complete.
Ready to take the next step in your law school journey? I'd love to hear from you!
