Don't Let Character & Fitness Concerns Stop You From Achieving Your Law School Dream!

In today's episode we speak with Amy Panek graduate of Cooley Law School about her experiences going through law school.

Amy Panek was the type of student that never thought she would be attending law school, let alone graduating from law school, and giving the commencement speech during her graduation ceremony. 

From even before starting law school she had to work hard and prove not only to herself, but also to others that just because of the background and experiences that she had in the past, that she could still surpass these beginnings to be an amazing lawyer.

As she started law school and found that she could find success, she then had to work through the challenge of being a mom, as well as commuting to school over an hour each way. Again, she overcame these obstacles, made close connections to faculty, students and staff and found her home at Cooley Law School.

Amy Panek shares some amazing experiences in this Law School Insider interview that will help you to see that no matter what barrier you may see in front of you, nothing is too steep to at least attempt the climb.

Amy Panek is definitely an inspirational lawyer that you will learn a ton from!
