I just loving hearing about the start of a new law school journey! You will need absolute determination and trust in God. You will succeed!

Congratulations 🎉

I'm 42 in my first semester of law school. You guys can do it! She motivates me too!!

I'd say it's a mix. It really depends on the professor. Some like to lecture while others cold call to get the discussion going.

@@americapeoples6978 so basically, there's a discussion by the professor in both methods. Thanks.

That is excellent news! It takes a strong woman to juggle all of the above. Keep pushin, you got this!

Can you speak about your journey as well? Studying for the LSAT with 2 small kids, a husband, and full time job.

@@judithdials1200​​⁠ My journey started in the pandemic and continues until at least 2026. With kids, career and unexpected life events, law school continues to be a challenge that requires consistency in studying. It’s unreasonable to strive for balance in all areas of your life while in school. You’ll often feel guilty when studying because your kids and job also need you. When you’re attending to your kids and job you’ll feel guilty that you’re not studying. However, so far it appears to be worth it because law school really does shift how you analyze and see the world. Some say it makes you smarter. Good luck to you on your law school journey! ❤

I practical guide that I still refer to called "A Lawyer Writes" by Couphlin/Rocklin/Patrick. It's useful for first year writing/research courses. It really breaks down every part of the legal writing process.

@@americapeoples6978 WoW. I literally just got that book. Thank you. I'm just gonna go through it. Good luck in your endeavors.

I will tell you that the landscape is changing. More law schools are offering remote/online options that cater to our generation. We are the trail blazers of change. Good luck on your journey!

Thanks mama! I hope to post another video soon before this upcoming semester kicks off. Stay tuned...

Hi there mama. I'm a mother of an 18 month old and sooooo relieved to have found this channel. I'm trying to prep also for the LSAT (4th time 🥴) there doesn't seem to be many others not sure because its a suicide mission? Haha I don't know it's all so overwhelming

Oh man. I'm so emotional watching the videos here and even reading the comments because this is such a huge undertaking "suicide mission" is so spot on. But I want to try so bad. I'm 40, wife and mom of two (5 and 2) and with a full time job.

Same :/ mother of 3 here

Hi Laura! I do have classmates that are single parents so it can be done, but it takes a lot of discipline in your schedule. You simply cannot afford to be disorganized or lacking in time management. Older kids likely works in your favor, depending on their level of independence. A part-time program is not really part-time for a working parent. I would take a serious look at your schedule (BEFORE you enroll) and see if it's possible to carve out time for studying. The required study time will depend on the number of classes you take. Even two classes at a time is challenging (but I'm also a slow reader and maybe you are faster!) How do you spend your evenings and weekends now? Are there any activities you aren't willing to sacrifice? It's all going to depend on your specific situation. Good luck to you... whatever you decide.

My law professors are excellent. I think they are more respectful and humble, especially since a lot of the students in my class are professional adults. They are never on some kind of ego trip.

The first semester takes some real adjustment, especially with juggling family obligations. Just know it gets better and you will get the hang of it. Good luck on your new journey!
