There are many paths to a fulfilling legal career including those that lead to work in the judiciary. As part of an ongoing series to help aspiring law students navigate law school admission during COVID-19, and to connect the broader legal community to important topics, LSAC is proud to have hosted a special webinar, “Law School Admission During COVID-19: A View From the Bench”, on December 10. This webinar featured three highly distinguished guest panelists.

• Judge Diane Humetewa, U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona

• Monica Ingram, Associate Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, Cornell Law School

LSAC President and CEO, Kellye Testy, moderated the panel in which Judge Humetewa and Justice Whitener shared their personal journeys to the judiciary. Ms. Ingram added to the conversation with her experience and perspective as a representative of the law school admission community. Together, the panelists addressed questions such as:

• What should candidates consider as they are applying to and choosing a law school?
• What is the value of pursuing clerkships and other opportunities to prepare for a career in law?
• What is it like to work in the judiciary and what is top of mind given the many issues we face as a nation?
