Cody's advice for 1Ls is to treat law school like a job.
“This is a professional school so treating it like a profession will help you develop great habits for when you graduate and go into the real world. This means being kind to your colleagues and classmates, diligent with your assignments and readings, and setting healthy boundaries to enjoy life outside of work and school."
