Law School Work Experience Concerns

Below, I respond to a law school applicant's concern about only having customer service work experience on law school application resume:

It's tough for one's career to grow up in the shadow of the recession, rise of automation, etc. Law schools understand that it's hard to get "impressive" work experience with "just" a BA.

Overall, work experience isn't nearly as important as LSAT/GPA. I wouldn't worry much about it. I have students who take 6+ months or a year to just study (parents supporting them), and they have nothing on their resumes during that time. It doesn't really matter. Just get the best LORs you can and work on spinning your work experience if you choose to write about it.

For example, connection between law (principle-application) and applying the pseudo-legalistic frameworks of customer service guidelines to specific customer support cases.
