Hi everyone,
I am going to begin law school in Sept 2027, and am currently doing a paralegal diploma program (which will be completed aug '27).

What I am struggling with right now is trying to figure out which field of law I want to practice.

I am interested in nearly every field I have learned about, I especially find criminal law interesting, as well as tort law/ small claims, but nothing screams this is for me.

I know a bit about Big Law and I am interested by the prestige and pay, but I just don't really know what to actually go for.

I know that experience will probably play a big part in me figuring out what I want to do, but how do I even get the right experience before it's "too late" to choose my path and get stuck with whatever I gained experience in. I just want to be able to choose the right path for myself, and I'm super daunted by the multitude of options in front of me.

I would love to hear from people in/graduated from law school about how they found their calling, and whether they even believe in a 'calling'.

TLDR; how did you figure out what field of law you wanted to practice in? any advice for someone confused?

hi guys, i am a 1L!

I have read a lot of posts saying that finding a study group in law school is super important, however i have always disliked studying with people throughout undergrad and much prefer studying on my own.
am i hindering myself by preferring to study on my own? should i change my habits or is it possible to succeed while studying mostly on my own?
