There are those who new they wanted to go to law school by the time they hit the third grade. There are those who went to law school to pursue careers in politics. And then there are those who went to law school by default, knowing they wanted to continue their education but not certain what avenue to take. Undoubtedly, a Juris Doctorate degree is invaluable. It opens doors that many of did not even know existed. |

Socrates was a Greek philosopher who is well known for his critical thinking abilities.
Socratic teaching focuses on asking students questions, not by giving the student the answers. The object is for the professor to probe the mind of the student by continually asking questions and the student responding with a disciplined thought process, which focuses on logical relationships and critical reasoning.
It was Socrates’ belief that the most effective way of teaching a student to argue logically was to engage the individual in a philosophic dialogue, in which he would attempt to argue a point.

Chances are, you're planning to pay for law school with student loans.
You're not alone. According to the ABA about 87% of law students pay for law school with student loans (ref. 1). Debt of more than $80,000 is not unusual - but that level of debt can restrict your career options after law school.
Here we outline your options in terms of law school loans, both federal and private, and we make recommendations on how to deal with that debt once you've graduated.
