About Legal Mija x Shirley
About me
Hi, I'm Shirley. I recently graduated law school, took the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) and passed on my first try. I was born and raised in NYC and proudly Colombian + Ecuadorian. Some of you may know me as Legal Mija on Tiktok. I grew a platform there and extended my social media presence on Instagram + YouTube, growing over 30K+ followers across my platforms.
I aim to share as many resources and information regarding my experience — from applying to law school to being a law student to graduating, taking the bar exam and then post-graduate career. My hope is through sharing my experience, I help inspire and guide others to attend law school.
I have done various speaking engagements (at Binghamton University, New York University, Rutgers University - New Brunswick, etc.) on my law school experience and legal career. Please contact me at legalmija@gmail.com if you would like me to speak at your university or event.
Lastly, I run the Legal Mija's Pre-Law Mentorship Program. Please see below for more information on the program and on how to apply. This program is FREE and will remain cost free until noted otherwise.
