When building outlines, spend the most time on the issues/rules that have the most material from you source books, e.g. Contracts = Offer, Acceptance, Consideration, etc... But on the bar exam spend the most time on the issues/rules where the most facts apply from the essay question.

I'm glad you found it useful. Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. Best of luck to you!

DM me on LinkedIn with your email, and I will send you the sample outline.

Can I hire you to mentor me

Sounds like a great plan. In law school, there are no specific majors just elective classes or perhaps "programs" or "concentrations" depending on the school. One should always aim to get into the best law school possible. One's focus should be the LSAT preparation and score. From there it will be pretty clear which schools are viable options based on your LSAT score and undergrad GPA. Between those options, you can see which schools offer the most extensive classes and network relating to M&A.

Business Organizations, Mergers & Acquisitions, Securities, Accounting for Lawyers, Business Planning.

It is common for lawyers to practice in more than one area of the law, but doing so creates potential inefficiencies and challenges. The issue is whether spending time practicing in one area for purpose will reduce your ability to practice in another area for profit and vice versa.

Most quality sample documents are available through paid subscription services like Westlaw or LexisNexis. However, I have found www.lawinsider.com/ to have a good variety of specific provisions that can be added to contracts.

Love it ❤, thanks! I will learn from you more and more thru this channel!

Regarding the practice area to pursue as a paralegal, I would give the same advice as in this video, except that you will not necessarily need to appear in court, but would be subject to the court's calendar if you worked in litigation. However, when starting out, we sometimes have to take the jobs that are available to gain experience, which is fine until you figure out what kind of law you really want to work in.

Thank you. Glad you found it helpful.

I would say that typing speed is a factor in passing the bar. I started law school at age 33 and I couldn't type well at all. Since all note taking in law school is done on laptops, and part of bar exam preparation, is typing out a lot of practice essays, my typing skills increased by 10X.

I'm glad you found it helpful. Having career clarity can dramatically increase the likelihood of success and fulfillment.

My pleasure!

An MBA is potentially valuable, but one would have the weigh the costs and time commitment to get one. Now days it is easy to learn essential skills online like accounting, basic tax implications of M&A transactions, marketing and sales. I've learned more about business through the practice of business law, than any MBA program could ever teach. Most business owners and successful professionals that I know say that an MBA is fine, but learning through real life experience is far more valuable.

@@pemmedia great feedback.

​​​@@pemmediaI already have an MBA and ran my own business. However, the idea of making large deals and complicated ones is intriguing. I'm just digesting information to make a decision. I'm going to be older anyways so might as well. I want to dive in government contracts as well. I'm a veteran trying to help other veterans too. I listen to this video multiple times when I work out. Great content. I'm Planting the seed.

Glad it was helpful!

I think that most attorneys who specialize would consider M&A and Real Estate to be two different specialties. However, many attorneys are more than capable of handling both M&A and Real Estate transactions. My view is that the more time you spend working on one area of the law, the better and more valuable you become in that specialty. If you split your time and experience, you dilute your effort and value.

Thanks!

That is exactly right. If you don't manage your career, someone else will...

Being a CPA would probably be a value add to a law school application, but I would not recommend becoming a CPA for the sole purpose of getting into law school. If a CPA wants to become an attorney and practice M&A then I think a CPA background would be useful.

Wouldn't a CPA/accounting background be the most transferable certification/degree to corporate law?

You are welcome. Glad it was helpful!

Thanks @francoPhysique. There's more to come. I got a low LSAT score and was still able to have a successful and fulfilling career as a lawyer. The LSAT is not determinative, but is a good place to test your interest, skills (at that time) and motivation for going to law school.
