Former Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote his personal reflections in what would later become one of the most influential books in history: Meditations.

In this episode, I review the book right after a morning run—birds chirping, still slightly out of breath—and share why it’s such a powerful, practical read. I also explore the surprising connections between Stoic wisdom, preparing for the LSAT, and the practice of law.

Law school is expensive. Some schools charge as little as <$20k. Prices, however, quickly jump up $50k-$80k annually. To pay that top price would potentially burden a student with debt of at least $240k. Some people jump at that opportunity to pay those prices. After listening to Thinking LSAT podcast, I've learned quickly law school sticker prices are a scam. ABA-required 509 reports tell the story. Most schools do not charge full price for law school. The sticker price is similar to a car's sticker price on the car lot. No one ever pays it, except a select few. In my quest to lower my financial burden to attend law school, I came across VR&E -- a VA program designed to help veterans gain employment. This program entails different methods, one being education. I just got end a meeting with a VA employee about this program. This podcast I discuss in detail the meeting and purpose of the program.

Why law? Why now? These questions I answer with openness. The Law Maze Podcast is designed to document my public journey into law. The process is long. I will discuss all of the thoughts and issues I encounter from starting as a law school applicant to becoming a practicing lawyer. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
