July 21. Webinar - A Primer on Private Student Loans:

As changes to federal student loan programs take shape, private student loans are likely to play a larger role in financing legal education. This session will provide a foundational overview of private student loans - what they are, how they differ from federal loans, and where they fit in the future of law school borrowing strategies. You will learn about key factors like credit requirements, interest rates, loan terms, and the importance of careful lender comparison, so you can make informed, strategic borrowing decisions.

July 22: What are the LSAT and LSAT Argumentative Writing?

The LSAT measures the reasoning, reading, and writing skills essential for law school success. Studies have consistently shown the LSAT to be the single best predictor of first-year law school success. In other words, the LSAT is more than just a test schools use when considering your applications — it’s also a valuable tool for you to know how ready they are to tackle the academic rigor they will face in your first year of law school. In this webinar, LawHub will present a comprehensive overview of the LSAT and LSAT Argumentative Writing. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the test format, learn how to navigate each question type effectively, and receive guidance on how to start your preparation, strengthen key skills, and build confidence for test day.

July 29: Using Optional Essays to Strengthen Your Law School Application

Optional essays are often overlooked, but they can be an important tool in your law school applications. These prompts provide an opportunity for them to share important aspects of your background, experiences, perspectives, and personal journey that may not be fully reflected elsewhere in your application.

In this webinar, LawHub will explore the purpose behind optional essays and discuss when — and why — you should consider writing them. Attendees will learn how to approach these essays with authenticity, reflection, and strategic intent, whether they are addressing diversity or overcoming challenges, explaining application circumstances, or highlighting experiences that have shaped your path to law school.

Join this session to gain practical guidance on crafting compelling optional essays that add depth to law school applications, strengthen an applicant’s overall narrative, and help admission committees better understand who they are.
