FAQ

Your JD Bestie is a blog, resource hub, and online shop created to support aspiring lawyers, law students, and new lawyers. I share practical career insights and create thoughtfully designed digital tools such as planners, templates, and study guides to help make the legal journey more manageable and less overwhelming.

Hi, I’m Klarissa, the founder of Your JD Bestie. I’m a practicing lawyer and a first-generation law graduate. I built this platform based on my own experience of navigating the LSAT, law school, articling, and early practice without a clear roadmap. Everything here is grounded in lived experience and practical learning.

Your JD Bestie is for:

• High school and undergraduate students considering law
• LSAT takers and law school applicants
• Current law students
• Articling students and recent law graduates
• First-generation law students
• Friends and family of aspiring lawyers

If you’re on the path to becoming a lawyer or supporting someone who is, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re just starting to explore law or deep into your legal journey, Your JD Bestie is here to support you with practical tools and honest insight.

Your JD Bestie offers digital products designed specifically for law students and other aspiring lawyers, including:

• Law school planners
• LSAT study planners
• Essay and writing templates
• Digital notebook and note paper
• Digital law stickers

I also offer free downloadable resources.

Most products are digital downloads, meaning nothing is physically shipped. You receive files that you can use digitally on a tablet or print at home, depending on the product.

Undated means the planner does not have pre-filled dates. This allows you to reuse the same planner across multiple semesters or years, making it more flexible and better value.

For digital planners and templates, you’ll need a PDF annotation app (such as GoodNotes, Notability, or a similar app). Each product listing includes instructions on how to use the files.

Digital planners and templates are designed for use with tablets and PDF annotation apps. Compatibility may vary depending on your device and software. Please note that these planners are not compatible with reMarkable devices. Be sure to review the product description carefully before purchasing.

Yes. The blog is free and includes informational content about law school, the LSAT, articling, and early legal careers.

Yes. I offer free resources such as templates, flowcharts, and sample planning tools. These are available on the website and are intended to be helpful starting points.

No. All content, products, and resources on Your JD Bestie are for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this website should be considered legal advice.

No. Purchasing a product or downloading a resource does not create a solicitor-client relationship.

No. Your JD Bestie is an independent platform. Any reference to my professional background is shared only to give context to my experience and why I am able to speak on these topics.

No. Due to the nature of digital products and instant delivery, all sales are final. Please review product descriptions carefully before purchasing. If you experience a technical issue or receive the incorrect file, please contact me and I’ll be happy to help resolve it.

If you’re having trouble accessing your files, reach out through the contact page with your order details and I will assist you.

No. All products are for personal use only. Sharing, redistributing, or reselling files is not permitted.

Your JD Bestie is built by someone who has personally gone through the process: from the LSAT to law school to articling and bar admission. The focus is on practical, realistic guidance and tools that reflect what the journey actually looks like.

If you’re new here, start with the blog or the free resources. From there, you can explore planners and templates that match where you are in your legal journey.
