About the Author(s)

I am a fourth year attorney at a prestigious New York-based corporate law firm. Currently, I am a litigation associate who is specializing in my firm's white collar practice. The stakes, compensation, and pace are heightened - which is ideal for an adrenaline-junkie like myself. I went to Berkeley for my undergraduate degree and then followed in my older brother's footsteps and attended UCLA for law school. A precocious reader might notice a disconnect between my educational pedigree and my firm's stature. I humbly attribute that gap to my bluecollar work ethic and the shortcuts I learned from my relatives who blazed my family's trails into law school. I, in turn, have passed on both of these keys to success to my younger brothers who currently attend Hastings and Berkeley for their respective legal educations. I set out to write this collection of guides to chronicle and memorialize these roadmaps for success. Because I grew up in a family filled with lawyers, I learned early that your experience in law school is not as meritocratic as you are led to believe. Instead, success in law school hinges on finessing the round pegs into the square holes (and the triangular and octagonal ones as well). As my father is a solo practitioner, my older brother has transitioned into working as a government attorney, and my younger brothers are well on their way into the corporate legal world, I am familiar with the desirable endpoints on your various trajectories - and I want to show you the most effective way to find them. Frank Tobler is a dual degree student at Stanford Law School and Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB).
