Intro to Logical Reasoning: Breaking Down the Task and the Stimulus

Are you new to studying for the LSAT? Or has a commercial test prep course left you confused with their complicated jargon and unintuitive hacks? This is the first presentation in a series that will break down logical reasoning in a simple, practical way. Many LSAT prep approaches were crafted by people who performed really well on the LSAT but may not have ever practiced law, or possibly never even went to law school. What those courses miss are the every day applications of LSAT skills to real-world law school scenarios and legal practice. I am a graduate of Georgetown Law who scored in the 97th percentile on the LSAT with several years' experience practicing at one of the most prominent law firms in the country, as well as a mid-sized boutique. My work in legal research, case strategy, briefing, discovery, and client relationships have informed my perspective on the LSAT. I know the LSAT is not just a test to be hacked, but rather a sensible evaluation of the skills required to succeed in law school and legal practice. My innovative curriculum has helped hundreds of students in my classes at Indiana University and Portland State University, as well as the private tutoring students I have been working with over the past 13+ years. In this session of the series, we will cover the following topics: - Why logical reasoning? - What is the "task"? - What is the "stimulus"? - How to approach logical reasoning questions - The types of logical reasoning questions, and - Beneficial study resources and strategies

October Series - Finding Career Clarity (Session 1)

Most job seekers never take the time to define what they truly want from their next role. Instead, they rush into applications, hoping something will stick. This is the “career discovery” phase—your golden circle, your why. It’s about understanding what lights you up, what you jump out of bed for, and what your purpose is. These are tough questions, but they are essential. Skipping this step leads to wasted time and missed opportunities. The cost of not doing a self-inventory or clarifying your vision is that your job search becomes scattered and inefficient. Taking stock of your skills is a key part of this process. By getting clear on your direction, you set yourself up for a focused and effective search. Think of this as writing your playbook or creating your map before you set out on your journey.
