The Story

Jennifer Walsh left her position as a law school professor in 2019, frustrated that legal education hadn't evolved in decades. She started Law School Decoded to create the resource she wished existed when she was a 1L - practical, digestible explanations of legal concepts without the Socratic method intimidation. Her content targeted two audiences: pre-law students deciding whether to attend law school, and current law students struggling with courses. Her 'Bar Exam Basics' series went viral during COVID when law students suddenly needed remote learning resources. The channel became a comprehensive legal education platform. She now offers LSAT prep courses, 1L study guides, and bar exam prep materials. Her digital products generate more than her former professor salary, and she's helped thousands of students pass the bar on their first attempt.

I taught 200 students a year as a professor. Now I teach 200,000 a month. The leverage is incomprehensible.
