LawSchoolNumbers (LSN) is looking to invest in its community! As the oldest and largest website in the law school admissions data/research space, we’ve helped millions of prospective law school applicants evaluate the decision to apply to law school and/or navigate their application processes over the past 17 years.

As many of our users know, LSN offers unique insights into the law school application process, leveraging detailed, self-reported applicant data from over 600,000 real applications. We help users navigate everything from school selection to LSAT and application prep, revealing where they should consider applying, and outcomes for other applicants with similar profiles. Through profile comments and private messaging, many users also build connections with other applicants during their cycle, providing a valuable source of moral support during the (inevitably) stressful application cycle. 

In this next chapter for the site, we want to build on the legacy of what has always made LSN great, while modernizing and improving the user experience for our loyal user base. We’re excited to commit the resources needed to take LSN to the next level, and need your help. 

Role Description

We’re looking to bring on 1-2 paid, part-time or full-time interns/team members (remotely) to help oversee the continued growth of the site with a user-first approach, with the goal of improving the overall website experience and driving even higher engagement within the law school applicant community.

As part of the LawSchoolNumbers team, you will be one of the key voices and champions of the site, working to gather data and information that will in turn catalyze a new wave of community and site development.

The goal of these roles is to help transform LawSchoolNumbers from primarily being a research-focused site into a vibrant community and the content leader in the law school admissions space--the go-to site for all law school-related information and resources.
