Resumes are an important tool to show future employers your skills and experience in one-page. They should be black and white, one long form, and have no icons, photos, or symbols. Take a look at the formatting and content of the pages below, and there is a template if you are starting from scratch.

A law school resume highlights the academic achievement, analytical writing, and critical thinking skills needed for the legal field. It focuses on research projects, leadership roles, and public or community service. This can be one to two pages, unlike the usual resume, which should not be longer than one page.
