According to a recent report, first-generation law school students are facing multiple challenges including a propensity to carry a greater student loan debt burden post-graduation. These individuals are reportedly more likely to supplement their education with a job, thus balancing their studies with additional employment commitments.
The report further illustrates a slight dip in LSAT scores and overall academic performance as compared to their peers. The factors contributing to this trend warrant further investigation into techniques for supporting these students in overcoming obstacles such as financial constraints which might affect their academic progress and ultimate success.
