It is very common for law school applicants to complete bridge year(s) experiences before applying to law school. The type of experience can vary: Job, fellowship, research position, internship, etc. The decision to apply directly from undergrad or pursue bridge year opportunities is a personal one. See resources below that outline types of possible experiences to pursue; however, it's not a finite list and options are wide open. You are not limited to focusing on "legal-related” experiences. The key is to pursue experiences that speak to you personally, academically or professionally. Be sure to check out the industry guides that capture other interests (education, health, environment, arts, etc.).
