Examples could include: If you have children, if this is a second career, where you are from, if you are part of a particular group (Christian, Muslim, Agnostic, African American, 1st in the family to go to law school, Democrat, Republican, Independent, Bicyclist, Rock Climber... basically anything that you think may be of interest to someone looking at Kent).

Chicago-Kent Evening Law Student Society
elss@kentlaw.edu
The Chicago-Kent Evening Law Student Society (ELSS) provides programming for, advocates on behalf of, and builds community among the evening student body.
We represent the interests of evening students by serving as a liaison between evening students and the administration, faculty, staff, and alumni.
We act to ensure that evening students are included in the academics, programs, and services offered by the administration, faculty, Student Bar Association, and other Chicago-Kent student organizations.
All evening students are encouraged to contact any ELSS officer to contribute suggestions for programs, volunteer to get involved, and to express their concerns.
Part-Time Students - What they know that you don't
The National Jurist, February 2007
Part-time law school is just as tough as full-time, perhaps even tougher since many part-timers also juggle jobs and family. But some say they will graduate with a leg up on full-timers.
