how feasible is it to take a semester remotely after 1l summer?
hi! i’m an incoming 1l this fall, and i’ve been feeling pretty anxious about both the social aspect of law school and the competitive culture.
one of my biggest concerns is that i’ll likely need to undergo a major surgery at some point, and the recovery is expected to take about six months. during that time, i probably wouldn’t be able to attend classes in person.
i was wondering whether it would be realistic to secure a remote position during my 1l summer and then, if necessary, take remote classes during the fall of my 2l year while recovering. i know every law school has different policies, and since i haven’t started yet, i’m not sure how feasible this is.
if anyone has experience with taking a medical leave, completing a semester remotely, or navigating a similar situation, i’d really appreciate any advice. thank you!
