"I attended a Law Career Fair where I was approached by dozens of different law school representatives. Even though I was not familiar with Washburn Law, the representative provided an ample amount of knowledge on both the academic and social perspectives of what Washburn Law had to offer. In such a stressful time of my life, I found her words of wisdom and candor to be quite helpful and reassuring that not all law schools are just in the "business" of making money. Washburn Law's excellent reputation shined through its representative and made me feel welcome at a school which I ultimately call my second home. I want to provide other prospective students with that same level of comfort and reassurance that law school may be an extremely difficult concept to grasp, but with the support of faculty and friends, it can be manageable and extremely joyful."
