Bruce has helped clients get into these schools:
I have advised hundreds and hundreds of law school applicants over an almost twenty year period. I am an expert in law school admissions and have also published a book and a nationwide column about it. Many applicants that I have advised have been admitted to their top choice of law schools. Some of my former students have also received up to full scholarships to law school. I am also an expert on the subject of legal careers, as well as alternative legal careers. In addition I have taught several courses for students planning to apply to law school. I am a graduate of Brown University and Boston College Law School.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I like to help people achieve their dreams. I have served as a mentor, law school admissions coach and career coach to hundreds of students and applicants, many of whom I have stayed in touch with for many years. I love to make the process as stress-free as possible, and break it down into simple steps and achievable goals. In my thirty years advising applicants, students, and professionals I have helped people achieve their ultimate goal--whether it was to be admitted to Harvard, Yale, Columbia or another top law school, to find scholarships, or to figure out their ultimate career goals. Helping people find the best fit for themselves, and see them succeed has been very meaningful to me. It has been a gratifying career which I enjoy very much!
