Students come to law school with certain assumptions about what a law student should be, says Karen DeMeola.
“They think you have to become this expectation—seemingly conservative, [wearing] a nice presentable suit. You have to look a certain way and act a certain way,” said DeMeola, assistant dean of student services at the University of Connecticut School of Law. “I think that the notion of having to become that … is overwhelming for students. Students feel like they have to leave big pieces of themselves behind.”
