The key is balance; make sure that letters are from people with recent experience of your work/scholarship and that they cover a range of skills/perspectives. Anon2, you raise a very good point here that I hope will help those students who are reading this post earlier in the process: getting a good letter of recommendation from a professor does require personal knowledge, which means that it's well worth the effort to develop those relationships from the beginning of your college career. There's no substitute for personal relationships, but the package you prepare for your recommenders can be a powerful supplemental tool with a willing writer.Tiffany Sandersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294095.post-70107304087100811402012-06-26T11:51:47.093-04:002012-06-26T11:51:47.093-04:00I asked my Business Law professor for a LOR, she s...I asked my Business Law professor for a LOR, she said she would do one for me, but she made a very good point that she had 160 students and how can she get to know someone intimately enough to give them justice by providing them a LOR. After that I agreed and asked two other lawyers I have known for 5+ years and just forgot about the LOR from a professor. I am going on 49 years old and just now finishing my BA and will be hopefully going to LS in 2013 cycle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294095.post-44730684758772756112012-06-25T06:28:33.173-04:002012-06-25T06:28:33.173-04:00What if I don't want my current employer to kn...What if I don't want my current employer to know I am applying to law school?
