I went to a large UC, where almost all of my classes were composed of about 100-300 students...so I never really established any relationships with any of my professors. I would have tried harder to get to know some of my teachers in order to get LORs, but I was never really serious about going to law school until I graduated in June. So my question is...is it a good idea to ask for a LOR from a teacher that I have taken about 4 courses with? I have talked to her a few times outside of class...and we corresponded through email a lot for my last class during Spring. I was thinking I could explain to her my desperation for an LOR, and email her a transcript that shows I've gotten all A's in her class, and maybe she could base a letter off of that? Has anyone done anything like this? Or is it just an overall bad idea....?
I have worked for 2 years in a law firm and interned at an Assemblyman's office...both of which I could get LOR's from my boss/supervisor...but isn't it important to have an academic letter? Help pleeease thank you!

Re: No Professors to write LOR :(
Yeah, you really need at least 1 academic letter if you just graduated in June. Talk to the teacher and ease into the topic of LOR's and Law School if you can and try and gauge how receptive she is to the idea of helping you out.gutterl wrote:I went to a large UC, where almost all of my classes were composed of about 100-300 students...so I never really established any relationships with any of my professors.

You sound like me.
I'm just hoping that having straight A's in 4 of their classes will work out ok.
