As a law student or young attorney, are you feeling despondent about your job prospects due to less-than-ideal grades?

Underdog: 12 Inspirational Stories for the Despondent Law Student provides a sense of reassurance to law students contemplating dropping out after a poor first-year performance, the graduates hesitant about applying for a competitive position because their grades aren't perfect, and the young professionals silently dealing with depression or anxiety behind the scenes while working overtime.

• How do I attain a high-paying job after graduation despite a low GPA?
• How do I leave the practice of law to pursue other projects or launch my own startup?
• How do I confirm that a career in law is my true calling?

Underdog reminds its readers that, no matter how hopeless a situation may seem, there is always another move, another shot, another opportunity for redemption. This book is a clarion call for students to be honest about the pressures of law school, improve their mental health and quality of life, and reduce the unnecessary pressure to be perfect.
