Not Just a Number: The Importance of Credit to Law Students
Your credit report provides more information than just what feeds your credit score. It creates a full picture of your financial health and behavior.

And employers may do the same when considering a job offer. Learn to understand the credit system, review your reports, dispute errors, and maintain a positive image with creditors, regardless of where you are on the credit score spectrum. Room 120, noon.
Your Employment Options, Your Money
Whether you accept a position in public service or big law, plan to open your own practice, or follow any other professional path, there is more to know than just your starting salary.
