Work experience is not necessary but it can help. Ten years ago, few schools cared about work experience, but that is changing, particularly at top schools. I also think that working for a year or two helps many mature, which will help you perform better in law school when you do attend. Also, working as a paralegal in big law won’t teach you how to try a case or draft a summary judgment motion, but it will give you a good understanding of the realities of working in big law and big law culture, which is not for everyone.
