You Are A Lawyer: Take Risks and Change Careers in Law

Why High School is the Right Time to Start Thinking about Law School featuring Jolene Blackbourn

Jolene Blackbourn ignored moot court, law review, and on-campus interviews; everything she could to avoid litigation. After a professor explained that Jolene had a knack for litigation work, Jolene Blackbourn found that she enjoyed the research and preparation needed for trial. Eventually being known as the “Trial Queen,” Jolene excelled when she worked in-house on corporate defense matters. Now, Jolene Blackbourn runs The Legal Learning Center, where she helps students graduate in less time and with less debt.

Listen to learn:

  • How to find your debt to income ratio before attending law school
