In 2001, Lisa was a first-gen law student studying her heart out, thinking she was fully prepared for the first semester finals. Despite intense effort, she was placed on academic probation and given one semester to either figure out how to succeed in law school or risk being kicked out. During her probationary semester, she realized she had been aimlessly reading and outlining everything under the sun without a clear purpose--she was merely completing tasks to check them off a list. Lisa owned her probation status, changed her study process, got off probation, her GPA began to increase every semester, she graduated with high honors and passed the California Bar Exam on her first attempt. Lisa wanted to get practical experience but knew her career would somehow lead to an opportunity to give back to students, especially first-get law students, what she felt was missing in legal education. Since 2005, Lisa has been representing plaintiffs in catastrophic personal injury matters. In 2013, Lisa and her husband/law partner opened Blasser Law, a southern California-based law firm, where she currently manages the firm's civil litigation matters and continues to specialize in auto, motorcycle, dog bite and big rig accidents. From 2009 to 2021, Lisa was a law professor and ultimately the Director of Academic Success and Bar Preparation at an ABA law school where she worked with thousands of law students to teach them the skills necessary to succeed in law school, on the bar exam, and in the practice. Wanting to offer something more than her on opinion on how to study in law school, in 2015-2016, Lisa conducted a two-year qualitative phenomenological study to uncover what successful law students do to succeed in law school. Wanting to help a national audience of pre-law and law students, Lisa took the results of her research and, in 2019, authored her first book, “Nine Steps to Law School Success: A Scientifically Proven Study Process for Success in Law School,” which is the most comprehensive study and calendaring process that a law student can employ to learn the law. In 2020, Lisa opened her second company, Law School Success Institute, where teaches the Nine Step Study Process and her semester scheduling system to pre-law, incoming and current law students across the nation and partners with first-generation and low-income pre-law and law student programs at various law schools, HBCU’s, universities and organizations. Lisa's mantra is that any student, regardless of their background and entering credentials, is capable of succeeding in law school. For several years, Lisa has also served on the founding board of Student Impact, a national non-profit dedicated to supporting students who otherwise could not afford to attend college, graduate school, or higher education, in exchange for community service.
