TITLE: Learning About Lawyering
Presenting Friday, November 7 at 1:00 p.m.
Lawyers play many roles in the legal ecosystem. Join three legal professionals who've lived it from different angles—a practicing lawyer, a former practicing lawyer now guiding Georgetown Law students through career decisions, and a lawyer-researcher who studies legal careers and makes career discovery tools—to explore how you can navigate your path into law with intention.
We'll cover the practical moves that matter: making the most of prelaw mentorship, approaching career exploration strategically, conducting informational interviews, understanding pre-cruitment timelines, and leveraging resources like the I Am The Law podcast and Georgetown's career exploration tools.
Biography:
Kyle McEntee is senior director of prelaw engagement with the Law School Admission Council and one of the hosts of I Am The Law, a podcast about law jobs. Prior to joining LSAC, he was the executive director of Law School Transparency (LST), a consumer advocacy nonprofit that also provided tools and resources to prelaw students to enable them to make informed decisions about whether and where to attend law school. His advocacy work played a critical role in stopping law schools and the American Bar Association from publishing faulty job statistics. For this, the National Law Journal named him one of the 100 Most Influential Lawyers in America, the ABA Journal named him a Legal Rebel for "challenging the institutional gatekeepers of the legal profession," and Above the Law readers voted him 2010 Lawyer of the Year. In 2022, LSAC acquired LST. He earned his BA in Philosophy from UNC and JD from Vanderbilt. He’s licensed to practice law in North Carolina, albeit inactive.
In Kyle’s free time, you can find him thinking about work, persuading his wife Abi that he actually isn’t working when he’s just thinking about it, and playing with their zoo of animals, which currently stands at three dogs (Raleigh, Broom, and Catnip) and two cats (Kitten and Annabelle).
