In today’s episode, Ben breaks down two major new tools on HeyFutureLawyer.com—our law school Outcomes Calculator (heyfuturelawyer.com/outcomes) and our brand-new ROI Calculator (heyfuturelawyer.com/ROI-calculator). Ben walks through how to use each tool, the data behind them, and the surprising “hidden gem” law schools that outperform their rankings in real employment outcomes. He also explains why national rankings often mislead applicants and how location, clerkships, and regional markets shape actual career opportunities.
You’ll also hear the full story of how Ben scored in the 99th percentile twice before turning 21, including the messy parts—bad early diagnostics, studying inconsistently, being naturally strong in reading-based sections, and hitting ceilings with parallel reasoning. Ben shares how COVID changed his study routine, how he adopted an “hour-per-day” method he later taught to thousands, and why the LSAT ended up being a turning point despite thinking he’d never be a lawyer.
In the final segment, Ben reflects on growing up with a speech impediment, thinking law wasn’t an option, nearly pursuing STEM, and eventually discovering the LSAT through boredom in a mandatory Indian history class. The episode wraps with thoughts on discipline, obsessiveness, and the odd path that turns a 19-year-old college kid into a full-time LSAT teacher.
