I'm currently at a law firm doing some paralegalish work. Many of the attorneys here went to some of the schools I would really like to go to.

I already have my 2 academic LOR's from two years ago, but would a new one from one of these attorneys do anything? My instinct tells me no, but does anyone have any experience with this?

I think it could be a good thing. It may offer another insight to your work ethic and work product- in addition to potentially fostering a good conversation wiht the lawyers at your work ( if you havent talked to them about law school and the like). Even if you dont use it- i think getting as much insight from them is worth the time and effort on your behalf.

I'm in the same boat. My plan is to use a atty alum/school specific LORs + 1-2 old academic LORs whenever possible.

Cool I guess I'll get one, if for no other reason than to have something new and different that updates them on my application from last time.

Is there anything specific I should get them to talk about? The two attornies I'm thinking of are pretty quiet and would probably feel overwhelmed without some kind of guidance. Maybe what acrossthelake said?

Thanks again guys I really appreciate the help.
