We are excited to bring you Lawcountability!

As more law students compete for fewer jobs, our career services team is committed to helping each of you find more dynamic ways to stand out. But, simultaneously attending classes, networking, following up on career leads, strategically managing social media, and generally raising your profile can be overwhelming. To give you a significant advantage in your job search and career development, we are pleased to offer you access to Lawcountability,J.D., a powerful technology platform that will make it easier for you to achieve more in less time by offering:

-On-demand programs that show you how to connect with the people you are trying to meet rather than collect random business cards.

-Automated e-mail reminders to help you execute your goals.

-The ability to identify your objectives and fit them into your busy schedule.

-A unique game-like point system to measure your performance and compare it to your peers.

You are encouraged to participate, and those who do will be eligible to win prizes on a weekly, monthly, semester, and academic year basis. In fact, the students who consistently use and apply the system, as well as discuss their efforts on social media, throughout the academic year could win a full bar review scholarship from Barbri (valued at over $2,000).

And, the best part of this approach is that you could see results by committing just ten minutes a week. It is open to all JD students and you are invited to register for a live 30-minute demo with the system’s creator on any of the following upcoming dates:
