Defining My Narrative & Purpose: Highlights your natural abilities and strengths.
Career and Work Satisfaction: Uses your personality type to help illustrate what sort of work environments and core values suit you best.

Practice Area Analysis: See how you fit in different practice areas based on scores from your assessment.
Work Setting Analysis: See how you fit into various work settings based on scores from your assessment.
We recommend listening to our podcast, I Am The Law, which is available at Law School Transparency or wherever you get your podcasts. Both this report and the podcast can be used with the tools available on LST in deciding where to apply and attend law school. When deciding on whether and where to attend law school, consider how well various schools can help you achieve your career goals. For example, if you have zero interest in working for a large law firm and instead want to practice family law in a particular state, it may not make sense to spend more money on a traditionally elite school. Different law schools have different strengths, especially as it relates to which employers (work settings) graduates of a school tend to find jobs with.
