Megan’s Answer

Hi Grace,

Some good extracurriculars to help your application stand out could include

Debate or forensic speaking- anything that involves public speaking

Volunteer activities- again, helpful ones would involve public speaking or maybe education, such as volunteering for an education program at the YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, Girl Scouts etc.

Try to do an internship or part-time job at a law firm- at the very least a job shadow

Any clubs or organizations related to pre-law or political science

Attend, or even better, present at a conference

From high school to undergrad, just show that you are involved and do more than just go to class. Also, make connections or potential references. Ask your counselor for help in high school. In undergrad, get to know your professors, particularly pre-law professors. Go to career services to get help on your resume and find internships or part time jobs.

I hope this helps!

Parixit’s Answer

You can volunteer for school clubs. Many schools offer programs like Model UN, where you learn about world issues and legal challenges. You can also look for opportunities at local juvenile courts, as they often need volunteers. Get involved in debate activities, too. Joining Toastmasters is another great option. Doing all these things can really make your law school resume stand out!
