Gap year before US law school

Post by RyantheJogger » Wed Jan 12, 2022 11:52 pm

Hi folks, I am considering quitting my current job and getting myself well prepared for the June 2021 LSAT. However, by doing so, there will be a gap year between my current job and next summer, would this be a significant drawback to my future career? (I am thinking of getting a court position in the future)

No, minor gaps in employment won't be of concern. Employers understand the importance of the LSAT and short gaps generally aren't very noteworthy.
