All were involved in helping students succeed. Even the dean had an open door policy - he was accessible and very supportive. It was an excellent experience.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>What advice would you share with those who are entering law school?<br \/> <\/strong>The legal field is very competitive, and you need to put the effort forward to create a good work-life and the ability to earn a living. You don&rsquo;t have to practice law &ndash; a law degree will give you the tools, confidence, and competence to go into any area, any business, and be successful. Having a law degree separates you from the rest of the population: People will be interested in what you have to say, in your advice, and you&rsquo;ll be much more in demand, whatever your profession.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>How do you view the role of Delaware Law School in the local area? <br \/> <\/strong>Delaware Law graduates are very bright and seem to have more of business sense than other law school graduates because of the practical aspect of how Delaware Law teaches; it produces graduates who are well-rounded and not just book-smart, but real-world-smart and that is what it takes to be successful today.<\/p>","page_content":"","callouts":[],"callouts_visual":[],"page_fact_display":""}
