If only I had known then what I know now! Law school can be like an echo chamber where you simply follow what everyone else is doing because everyone else is doing it. But there is so much I would have done differently if I had to do it all over again. Learn from my mistakes:
- Spend less time preparing for class and being cold-called
- Spend more time preparing for finals
- Learn how to write law school essay exams earlier
- Take practice tests!
- Live close to campus if you are a full time law student
- Trust the professor less when they are confusing

The way I prepared for class was to read the first 3 pages of the assignment. In class I would answer question for the first 10 minutes. After that the instructor usually wanted someone else to participate and he would leave me alone.

@emesselt 3 жыл бұрын
As a guy who went to law school in the early 90s, I agree about the class participation and the notion of test practice is very good. Fortunately, I went to a law school that made their class examinations look like bar examination questions, as much as possible. That was a huge help when It came to preparing for the bar exam. Also fortunately, my law school was located in a scenic area, so my commute was actually a source of calmness and even serenity before I hit the stress of class! Finally, the Socratic method can be terribly misused as an ego gratifier for professors. Watch out for those guys!

You got all A's and got into a top firm. It might be a bad idea to do anything differently. Maybe that time you spent commuting gave you time alone to mentally prepare for class and being closer would mean less time to prepare. Maybe the things you did to prepare for class helped your overall understanding of how things worked. What better outcome could you have than what you earned the way you did it?

Lower division and GE courses test facts. You can memorize facts. Upper division (at least in the sciences), test concepts. You can't memorize concepts. I learned that the hard way when I tried pulling the "listen to the entire lecture again" strategy ... which worked so well in my lower division science courses. Nope. There is virtually no benefit for a science major to listen to the lecture TWICE. The one thing he says in this video is very true though, your professors have idiosyncrasies that you can pick up on. For example in Biology you will most likely have an 'Organismal Biologist' teaching you an upper division Evolution course. What I've noticed is that if you go to class and look at their backgrounds, their test questions lean towards it. So when you get a class called "Evolutionary Biology" being taught by a Parasitologist .... yeah, lots of parasite questions on the tests.

Well, by preparing for class you're invariably preparing for the final exam. I do have to agree that over preparing for the cold-call often lends to wasted time and energy. Ideally, you want to prepare for the class by simultaneously preparing an outline as the course progresses. That way your outlines are all ready to go by the time you reach exams. But god knows nobody gets that light bulb until 3L....

What I'll say about longer commutes- sometimes its healthier to have forced breaks in your schedule. It does mean you need to be better about being on top of yourself (no procrastinating!) but I would say it actually helped me to live farther from the main area as a way to distance myself from work and come back with a fresher perspective instead of an overworked, blind sided point of view. I am also very much not a lawyer so perhaps that makes a difference too xD

What exactly is the difference between preparing for class and preparing for finals? I know that in order to prepare for class, you have to brief cases and you stress not spending too much time on that. But then what is the information you put into your outlines based on? Don't you have to read the cases in order to understand what is going on and to write your outline? By the way, I will be starting law school in August and I really appreciate your videos!
@LegalEagle 6 жыл бұрын
Yes, you should read your cases. See the video on the "Flipped Case Method". Your outline should consist of tools that you can use on an issue spotter. Very little of what you discuss in class will actually help with that.

The tip about living close(r) to campus is kind of crap. Sure, it makes sense in theory, like "don't live an hour away from campus," that's common sense, but in reality, MOST people aren't going to law school at a huge California school where it takes 45 minutes to walk from one end of campus to the other. Nor are they going to school in a city so large that it takes an hour to drive to campus from their home. I personally live off campus where I spend 6k less per year than it would cost to live on campus and I can still get from my apartment to my seat in class in 20 minutes. That's with driving to campus during rush hour and then parking and walking to the building. The people who do live on campus can get there via walking in 10. Really not worth spending 6k extra each year to save yourself 20 minutes a day. It is a rare occurrence for the situation you described to actually happen to most law students.

As opposed to a "part-time law student." There are a few law school programs that operate at night while you work a full time job.
