- The Law School Toolbox is the BEST!!!
I just wrapped 1L exams, and NOTHING has been as helpful as listening to Lee and Alison clarify abstract concepts and getting me out of the weeds to see the forrest! I am so grateful for the many days that their podcast walked me to school and dialed me right in to the most valuable takeaways in each of our substantive courses. THANK YOU!!
