Meet Claire:
UCI Law is special because its students are both intellectually curious and community oriented. The culture is very collaborative because we want to see each other succeed. There isn't a looming aura of competition like at other law schools, so everyone is less worried about needing to get the highest grade. UCI Law has excellent professors and students which makes law school all the more enjoyable.
My biggest piece of advice to prospective law students is not to listen to advice. Everyone has their own opinion on the best method to get admitted and succeed in law school. The best method to succeed in law school is whatever works best for you. Best of luck with your decision!
