The Student Spotlight
Featuring Tips for Students from Students

The Student Spotlight connects law students across the country with meaningful tips and advice from fellow law students. Who better to look to for advice on how to succeed in law school than law students themselves? Covering topics like class and exam prep, to job search and legal research – your peers are loaded with tips from their real-life experiences and LexisNexis is sharing them with you.

Have a tip of your own that you want to share with Canadian law students across the country? Email it to lawschools@lexisnexis.ca with Student Spotlight in the subject line for a chance to be featured in an upcoming Student Spotlight!
