Join me as I talk to Freddy De Jesus Ramirez to get a fresh perspective on the journey through law school, to taking the BAR and waiting for the results. Along the way, we discuss my past experience in comparison to what it is now. We discuss working, having fun and balancing life throughout the process. As always, we aim to distill some nuggets for people considering the plunge. Enjoy my conversation with Freddy.
