Why law school? My dad is a Judge in Pennsylvania, so I’ve grown up surrounded by the law. I distinctly remember pounding his gavel on the bench when I visited his courtroom as a child (and subsequently being reprimanded). As a result, my interests and skillset made law school feel like a natural next step for my career.

Why BC Law? BC Law is well respected across the country. Although other schools can offer the same, BC Law’s student collegiality set it apart. The collaborative and inviting atmosphere was immediately apparent upon stepping on campus for an initial tour.

What most surprised you about BC Law? The sheer amount of things going on at the school is staggering. There are events hosted by student groups on a daily basis that address current and past law-related issues. These events are attended by students and professors, making the events a great opportunity to talk with professors outside of the classroom. Moreover, the school sponsors numerous social events to help students balance law school with their personal lives.

Ross Weimer is a 3L at BC Law and a BC Law Ambassador. Feel free to contact him with questions about his experience, BC Law, or law school in general. Comment here or send him an e-mail at rweimer@bc.edu.

Boston College Law Ambassadors is a newly launched program designed to enhance the on-campus experience for every prospective student who visits BC Law. The Ambassadors are thirty students who lead campus tours, help out at Admitted Students Day, and serve as a resource for applicants and admitted students who are considering enrolling at BC Law.

In support of this role, each Ambassador will be profiled on the Impact blog over the course of the school year. If you are a prospective student and notice something about any of our Ambassadors that you’d like to discuss with him or her – whether it’s a shared alma mater, an interesting extracurricular, or an appealing summer job – do not hesitate to reach out. After all, that’s what we’re here for!
