In our #ChampionsAdvice update, Kelsi Scarlett, University of Arkansas School of Law class of 2024 graduate, recalls the guidance she received before her 1L year: “The best advice I received prior to starting law school was to understand that it’s not as easy as undergrad may have been,” shared Kelsi. “It’s hard work and you need to actually read for class and do the homework, but it’s not that hard to do and it really helps prepare you for class.” Congratulations on your law school graduation Kelsi!
