What kind of support and resources do you find most helpful for prospective students considering Northeastern Law?
I find the tour and talking to current students to be the most helpful. Prospective students can get their questions answered and hear about the different opportunities students have had while being at Northeastern Law. I also think it is helpful to take a close look at the programs and clinics offered at the school.

What has been your favorite part about doing co-op while at Northeastern Law?
My favorite part of doing a co-op was the one-on-one discussions I had with my supervisors. They were always there to answer any questions and provide insight into how the legal system works. Their experience and feedback were invaluable as I continued to develop my skills on co-op.
