Professor is letting me write "first draft of LOR" what do law schools look for? Forum

[LawurmStudent]

This is actually a pretty common practice I've heard but my professor is letting me write the "first draft" of my letter of rec. I was wondering What Law Schools Look For in LORs. Any input is appreciated. If you're going to call this dishonest or not help me please just do not comment.

Don't attend law school if you can't use a simple website called "Google".

Which might well lead you to a website called top-law-schools.com. It's a perfectly reasonable question; if you don't want to answer, just don't answer.

Not gonna be much help, but what I would say is I would not want to do this. One prof let me read what he wrote to see if I wanted to add/change anything. He had perspectives on my work/personality that I would not pick up or say/write myself. I figure my application and interviews can tell schools what "I" think of myself... I find LORs useful for an outside perspective.

Is it crazy to think that a poster on a forum as specific insight that hasn't been fully memorialized yet? What is your problem, nerd?
