The 8 Percent Club is a safe, open, and accessible space for all the gals like us (and even the ones not like us) to share experiences throughout our law school adventures. We'll chat about the LSAT, admissions, law school prep, lifestyle, law school itself, and more. New episodes drop each week. Thank you for being part of The 8 Percent Club.
