LegalEagle what was the case study app called

@@elliottclark6547 west law I think. Sorry a bit late

Me too...I'm a physician...in legal medicine, but still...

Watch one chemical safety board ( csb ) investigation video and they'll hook you in too.

I`m bouncer from a another country and I`m binge watching these also.

Watching a useful profession

Maybe you’re in the wrong field of study ;)

Many thanks! Glad you found them helpful.

watching from the future................

Well...

@@silentj624watching from the further future

Interesting to see, now that this channel is pretty huge

You know you could have bought a hdd drive-to-usb cable and imaged the drive with free and/or open-source software on someone else's computer and created a VHD and then play it on a virtual box and thus retrieved your thesis, right?

Girl I am crying for you. That is a story straight from my nightmares. In college, I had the same thing happen to me, but I periodically backed up to a thumb drive, so only a page or so was lost. Now in law school, I use Microsoft OneDrive (cloud). But know that I sympathize with your pain and I hope you have good karma in the future to make up for your suffering. And you deserve it cause stuff like that never happens to the people who half-ass their work. It only happens to people like you, who worked really hard on the paper.

Evernote is amazing. Even if you already use iCloud or Google cloud. Also using evernote is worth it. Can record audio. Search notes. Hundreds of features. Easy to sync. Can duplicate a note and send it to others. Just imagine google/apple cloud software, but made just for every multimedia way to make a note. Can add slideshow files from class as well. Just worth trying out. From middle school to grad/trade schools. Only thing I recommend. Is to use Evernote and keep it synced up. I would use my phone to record lectures. And take short hand notes and mark down important time stamps. Then when I get to studying...I'd listen to those parts and take proper notes. Using relevant info from the text book. Making sure to take photos of the textbooks relevant parts, making them into their own notes. And I'd add all of this info into notes and put them in the correct "Evernote notebook" a dif notebook for each lesson category. You can search through notes and it is just amazing. Able to add rough info using phone or tablet. Then able to edit the notes and add "KEYWORDS AND TAGS" to the notes and notebooks. It is just amazing. And I've only needed the free version. I'm assuming a law student may need the premium version... but it is completely worth. Save your papers and outlines on it. Ofc also save on your comp, flash drive, and a "private cloud" as well. Really check it out and use it for every course. It will take practice to remember to use

Yep, and buy a passport drive (external portable SSD drive) and save everything on it as well as using Google drive/Dropbox. Yeah, also in IT here because what else do you do with a history degree? Anyway, you can also add external hard drive that aren't meant to be moved a lot, but add tons of cheap storage. About 5 years ago most external hard drives started at a Terabyte or two, they are probably bigger now. (Western Digital and most computer manufacturers like HP make external hard drives. "Passport" is a brand name for portable hard drives. The difference is a passport is solid state and the case is designed for travel. External drive is designed to sit on your desk.) The best way to protect your data is backup. BACK UP! In more than one place!

Are portable external hard drives that are advertised as shockproof and waterproof and all, still easy to break or something because of travel compared to SSDs?

Alex - If the portable drive you're considering is a SSD drive then that means it's a solid state drive. These are less likely to fail and lose your data because they don't have a spinning disc with an arm to write data like a standard hard drive. The spinning disc drive can fail/lose data because they are like a record player and they actually have bad sectors all the time, they just don't write to the bad sectors. The SSD works differently so it's less likely to fail. They are basically like Really Big flash drives or jump or thumb drives. But they can *still* fail. You always want to eject the drive using the computer's eject program, because if you pull it out while it's still writing data that data can be lost or corrupted. So even a shock/drop/waterproof SSD drive still might fail, which is why you want multiple backups - two or more drives, cloud storage, etc. (You can even get into things like RAID which provide automatic backup.)

Both external hard drives and portable SSD drives tend to be inexpensive and offer a lot of storage. When I say a lot we are talking a Terabyte or two for $100.00 - and that was 5 years or more ago (the last time I bought one). Both also last a long time AND as long as you move files or copy files instead of using "Windows Backup" you can move the files from computer to computer,just like any flash drive.

Jacqueline Moleski wow thank you so much that was very informative 🙌🏻🤗

Damn right.

As a law librarian the part where he said he ripped pages out of case books made me cringe so hard

A friend got her BA in Theatre and then law degree. She is a top lawyer in her area. GOOD combo

Exactly. They are so cheap now. There is really no excuse.

there are inject printers that have black/ 3 color ink tanks much cheaper for quality color prints if you need,but a fast monochrome laser printer is still needed,also make sure your printer/scanner has document feeder with dual side swapper. you can find old refubrished lexmark/other brand printers/scanners cheap.

very underrated comment

That's fair about the case books. I hated dragging my case books (often three at a time) to class. And I prefer highlighting my cases on the Westlaw app instead of on paper. Plus having access to the Westlaw headnotes can sometimes replace reading the whole case and can almost always replace the function of a commercial outline. If I went through law school again, I would ask the prof or my friends for the case citations, and look up the cases online instead of buying casebooks. But I recognize that's not for everyone. BTW, Apple's iPad sales have slumped because people hardly ever replace them (certainly not every month!). Thanks for the kind words. We have a lot more videos coming out. We'll work even harder to get 10/10 in your book!

Does WestLaw export to PDF (i.e. iBooks) to save your highlights locally? What if I want to read cases while I'm commuting home on the train and don't have wi-fi?

SSDs are not substantially more vulnerable to the temperatures you're likely to see in a laptop (they are less resistant to high temperatures than a mechanical hard drive, but the difference will only be noticeable at temperatures above about 200c, which you won't see in a laptop unless you set it on fire). SSDs can suffer data loss if left powered off at temperatures above 30c (for a period of several months or more), but this won't happen if you use your computer for at least a few hours each week. Also, SSDs don't usually fail catastrophically unless you ignore the early signs of failure. SSDs tend to exhibit sector degredation (the memory in them is divided into thousands of sectors, and they fail one at a time as they are used repeatedly). When this happens, the total available space on your drive will start to go down. This indicates that it's time to buy a new drive and transfer your stuff over. Data can also be recovered from a failed SSD. It's a more complicated process than with a mechanical drive, but there are professional services that will do it for you. The main advantage of mechanical drives is that they're usually substantially cheaper for the same amount of space.

You mean romano-germanic...?

Ah oui vive la pays des droits du lohmme bleu blon roge

Not exactly. Every computer still needs a hard drive. I recommend that you use cloud storage, but you should still get a laptop with a SSD to avoid it breaking in general.

SSDs are really inexpensive nowadays. I'm not an IT professional, but I am studying computer science, and give a lot of computer recommendations to my friends and family. I always recommend getting an SSD for any budget due to the superior speed and reliability. It doesn't have to be a huge SSD, just big enough to store things you need to get to immidiatly. Use cloud storage for archiving documents.

@@soundninja99 The thing also is that standard laptop HDDs supplied with the computer are notoriously cheap and poor quality. Every laptop in my family has had their's die slowly and painfully and been replaced by an SSD. The boot and access speed in general use is worth the money any day of the week.

SSDs are dirt cheap. Pretty much all new laptops come with them. 1TB SSD cost about 120 USD. There is no reason not to buy one.

Dang, son. You have a lot of your life left to live before law school. Unfortunately, it's impossible to make a blanket statement of whether law school is worth it or not. I loved it and would do it again. But I can't speak for everyone.

the beard makes a huge difference

In theory they do but I don't know anyone who ever had a problem, I think they are fine for most use cases. Also they are of course faster, so that is another benefit.

@@edgyecchi6331 Is viewing someone as a pleasurable sex object a form of sexism?

@@alwaysdisputin9930 by definition, yes.

UK man loves goddesses OBJECTION

@@alwaysdisputin9930 sexism is a female exclusive thing. Men are not allowed to be sexually harrased.

Did they say anything about sex or did they say he was hot? Don't make a point in bad faith.

Laika Yeah I believe it's the 12.9 inch ipad pro. So damn huge.

Yep 😂

Daniele Messina gave me ptsd 😂

Good call. I travel with one all the time.

That's expensive, plus, nobody needs 1TB of storage for school, I'm in university and I have a 20gb free plan with dropbox and it is PLENTY! Most of your data is pdf, word, excel, some images, audio files for when you record your class, but most of it is very small. There's no need to pay 100$ per year for 1Tb of cloud storage

Many colleges give free access to cloud storage. Mine gives free access to 1TB of storage on onedrive. If your school doesn't pay for your cloud storage, just start with the free 15gb google drive plan and upgrade when you fill it up (which you probably won't)

TTate That's awesome, in my opinion 15 gigs is not enought, and ofcorse 1 TB is alot but it's great to backup everything for phone to laptop. I think there is a plan for 100 gig aswell

fuxiz 15 gigs aren't enough for everyone, I recognize that. That's why I recomended that you start of with the free plan, then upgrade when it's needed. That way you don't pay for more storage before you even fill up the cheaper (or free) option.

Join Office365 family plan and get their 1T Onedrive for a lot less. Advantages: have a whole suite of MS office and 1T Onedrive; share cost with your family/friends.

I don't know if I fully understand your question but I'm gonna try to answer anyway. You can put resources on the other screen so you don't have to switch the app all the time for reference and you can easily manipulate them. Much easier than with your finger.

That’s so inconvenient! Can I ask why?

T K I was wondering the same thing

Unclear if a Surface Book works with Examsoft. I'd check with your school first before pulling the trigger.
