Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S9 E4: Admissions Q&A With Dean Blazer
Q: Could you talk a little bit more about the holistic side of application review, including how the interview process plays into that?
LSAT or other standardized test results and undergraduate GPA help assess academic readiness, while the rest of the application shows the applicant's purpose, experiences, character, and potential contribution to the community. Interviews are friendly 20-minute conversations offered to applicants the school hopes to admit, and Blazer advises candidates to be prepared, genuine, and enthusiastic.
S9 E4: Admissions Q&A With Dean Blazer
Q: What makes a successful Kobre & Kim application, and what have you seen from Kobre & Kim applicants that makes them stand out?
Blazer says applicants should convey how their legal work confirmed their interest and developed their professional skills. Recommendations from legal supervisors can be especially persuasive, and applicants should demonstrate readiness to contribute from their first day of law school.
S8 E6: AI and the Future of Legal Practice
Q: What advice would you give to someone just about to start their law school journey regarding AI and these tools?
Be open to the tools but not overly committed or closed off; AI will likely be an important part of practice, but core legal skills remain essential, and opportunities will emerge at the intersection of technology and traditional law.
S8 E2: Law School Love Story: Current Student Edition!
Q: What will you miss about it?
Charlottesville is such a beautiful place and has so many fun things to do, like wineries and theater events.
S8 E2: Law School Love Story: Current Student Edition!
Q: What was your thought process in choosing a law school?
My primary focus on choosing a law school was just money, honestly.
