How we got started

John standing outside with skyscrapers behind him.Socrates Law Lab began when I (John) started talking to a friend who was heading to law school.

I knew firsthand that law school is extremely difficult regardless of one’s undergrad GPA or LSAT score. I got a 175 on my LSAT and felt like I was thrown into the deep end, and on my own to figure everything out.

My classmates felt the same way. I saw lifelong top students and brilliant legal minds struggle because they didn’t know how to properly learn the material and write the exam.

So, to prepare my friend, I taught him everything I’d learned. This way, he didn’t need to learn the hard way and could focus on the strategies that would help him succeed.

The straightforward, no-BS guidance I gave him became the foundation for what would later become Socrates Law Lab.
