You can appeal an academic dismissal with your school. If this does not work or if you do not currently feel ready to return to law school I would highly recommend taking some time to work and study for the LSAT in order to retake it. You’re going to want to put distance between you and your academic dismissal and you can do this by showing you will be professionally and academically able to perform in law school.

The issues you had at the time were that you were sick and you have a cognitive disability. Sounds like you should be arguing that you need better accommodations for your cognitive disability so this doesn’t happen again

Should only happen once before you learn though. Fix your life over the next 8 years and you will be better off for it.

Just wondering on people's perspectives here... I am currently employed full-time as a 911 dispatcher. I started out this cycle applying to a few part-time online programs that I would *theoretically* be able to retain my job for at least as long as it remains feasible for me with that workload. However, I eventually applied to in-person full-time programs as well. So my question is; if you were in my position and received offers from both, which direction would you lean? Or, more importantly, what factors would tend to influence your decision? I have received a few now but have not made up my mind.

Also, if you're curious about 911 dispatch, AMA. I love the job.
KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel

If you love the job, probably part time.

The asterisk there is that the plan revolves around keeping that job; if the academic needs of the program become too much to handle, I can't just go part-time. So I see a possible situation where I commit to a part-time online program, then end up having to leave my job anyway, when I could have attended an in-person school at a higher sticker price but substantially higher salary stats.

I've been sitting at this wine bar and this nice woman in her 20's walks in but she's a corpo so she's around her corpo coworkers. I fought off this one Asian guy who wanted to talk about fucking fly fishing and heloc loans and they literally did a switcheroo. Now I have to fight this 45 year old corpo woman who wants to give the 20+ year old woman life advice. It would be much easier if I could break my wine glass and shove the sharp part through the 45 year old woman's neck because I ain't in the mood for a boss fight but just take not. This is what dating as a man is like in your late 20's when bitches are more interested in a 10k dollar raise to 120k than actually living.
