It is critically important to take risks (stepping out of what is usual or comfortable for you) in at least three different aspects: reaching out to others, reaching within yourself, and reaching out for experiences.
Reaching out to others could mean asking others for advice, setting up a mentoring relationship, or talking informally with a law professor or someone in a law firm. It also means getting to know your classmates—they are future colleagues and perhaps clients. Much of the success and satisfaction of practicing law depends on your relationships, and it’s important to start building them while in law school.
