Abstract
This post includes suggestions to help plan self-directed learning to supplement what students learn in law school. It recommends that students (1) appreciate the values and limitations of the law, (2) recognize the “hidden curriculum” in law school, (3) understand that “thinking like a lawyer” really is about helping clients achieve their goals, (4) develop a strategic plan for their education, (5) compile a portfolio, (6) take clinical, externship, and practice courses, (7) interview practitioners, and (8) join the ABA and other bar and professional associations.
