My first week of law school was exciting. This weekend is my second. So far I think criminal law is my favorite 😊💪

Thank you for having me here. I look forward to learning from you all.

Hi everyone, I’m Danielle Alvarez, and I’m so excited to have you here! A little about me—I graduated from the JD/MBA program at the University of Miami, all while raising three kids and running a small business. As a first-gen “everything,” I know firsthand how overwhelming law school can be when you’re the first in your family to navigate this path. That’s why I’ve created this community—because no one should have to go through law school alone. My mission is to make the journey easier for all of you, the next generation of first-gen law students. This space is here to offer support, share resources, and connect with others who understand what you’re going through. In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing some of the most valuable insights and hacks that helped me not just survive, but thrive in law school. We’ll also talk about my upcoming FGL course, designed to give you even more tools for success. But for now, let’s focus on building this community, supporting each other, and making sure no one has to figure this out on their own. Feel free to introduce yourselves, share your goals, and ask any questions you have. We’re all in this together, and I’m here to help every step of the way. Let’s do this! 💪

If you're struggling with application of the law, join me this Friday where I'll be reviewing: - Case Briefing - What you should be getting out of it - IRAC - How to apply the law for law school exams - Strategy - How to effectively learn and study in law school This will be especially helpful for 1Ls but all are welcome to join.
