How to Survive Law School (and the Bar Exam) featuring Neena Speer

Fearful of breaking her word to her mentee, Neena Speer created
‘Step 1-2-3: Mentor for Life Initiative’ to ensure that she could
continue mentoring with the same child.  Neena is a strong
advocate of maintaining mentorship relationships because
continuity is integral in a child’s life and Neena did not want
to break her word. Neena welcomes listeners to start their own
branch of the Step 1-2-3 program in their community.


Neena’s childhood inspired her to attend law school because she
distinctly remembers disparities in busing different students in
her neighborhood to various school districts. As a law student,
Neena began journaling about her experiences.  This led
Neena to write the book, “Dear Future Lawyer: An Intimate
Survival Guide for the Minority Female Student.”  In this
book, Neena explains the various people that one will meet in law
school, the explicit biases that a student may encounter, and
each chapter ends with a prompt for the reader to journal. 
Neena focuses on her perspective being a Black and Indian student
while enrolled in a predominantly white institution (PWI).


Neena is a licensed attorney in Alabama and manages her own law
firm where she specializes in trademarks, copyrights, business
formation, contracts, criminal law, family and general law.
