In this video, I cover the basics of 1L final exams, from what they look like overall to outlining and study groups.
As always, the advice in this video is completely my own and reflects my specific experiences at my law school. While it provides a general point of reference, I can't guarantee that your experience will be the same. Best of luck on your exams! We will make it through :)
In criminal law exams it is helpful to begin the essay with a complete and full header delineating each person's initials, i.e., John Doe = JD. Each person would have a little equation delineating initials used. The idea is to make it unnecessary to type the same names repeatedly in covering every issue that might arise in the fact pattern, saves time. Excellent video that really focuses on the meat of how to do law school. Thanks.
Your videos are really good. I went to UCLA Law School many years ago (when we still wrote out exams by hand in something called Blue Books), but the basic principles of a legal education have not changed. I agreed with just about everything you said, especially the word vomit part of the tests and the fact that writing out your own outline is a better way to prep than co-opting someone else's outline. That said, I am surprised you did not mention IRAC in this video. To this day, that is the foundation of writing a good law school exam answer: issue, rule, application and conclusion. That's all the exam (and the bar exam) is - just doing that repeatedly. Still, great job. It's clear why you got into Stanford Law.
@@operationmockingbird216 The world contains more than you know. There is room for both the philosopher and the practitioner in law school.
If you feel the need to call somebody immature, I think it is clear who happens to be immature, and it's not the target of your words.
Thank you for your insightful video. I appreciate your level of detail, as well as your opinion along the way in this video! It is very comforting to understand how law school works. I wish you all the best in law school!
Your videos are very instructive! I would love to see more of the ones related to law school!
In our country you're not allowed to bring notes, more so a laptop in the exam. You have to memorize everything and hand write your answers. So basically, you have to make a mental flowchart of everything. But I guess it is because we have a civil law system as compared to common law, which means you have to be more specific in your answers. I've finished my juris doctor degree and I can say that it boils down to knowing key words when it comes to studying. Once you know that, reasoning comes naturally.
Ha! "Word vomiting!" Nice one. I'm just now going through your law school videos - lots of good information. Thanks :-)
Hey thank you for every video .
They’re really helping ❤️
Watching from South Africa ,Such an inspiration and a helper at the same time thank you so much legal practitioner ,You're loved in South Africa❤ keep on charging legal life's of law students.
Thank u so much! Can you give us a dedicated video of ur notes? Maybe break down what highlighter color is for what feature of ur notes? And go into detail of how u take ur notes in class? Typing or writing?
+Kennedy Vince I type them! And I will keep the note breakdown in mind for my next video :)
a very helpful video! Thank you!
can you go into more detail about color coding your notes and what that does for you- like which colors mean what etc. thanks!:)
Hi, First time, I heard commercial outline. I did not even heard shell outline. This is so cool there are different names for outlines. Thanks. :)
Awesome video. and good advise. What do you hope to do after law school?
Could you also make a video about how to take notes pleaseee! I watched your videos about reading cases and doing highlights, but how do you put them together as an outline and how do you incorporate your lecture and reading notes together? Thank you so much!!!
In briefing cases and analyzing a case posed by your law professor on an exam, you simply employ the acronym IRAC. Issue, Rule of law, Application and Conclusion. When I attended law school we wrote out our briefs on a legal pad and wrote our exams in a blue book.
Thank you for being thorough in your description of outlines! Is there any way you can make a video on how to make a good study schedule? I find that time management is a skill a lot of students struggle with. How different is your schedule from being an undergrad to a law school student?
+Mariana Gomez time management is definitely an important skill! My schedule is much much more full than it was in undergrad. I’ll keep time management skills in mind for another video!
oh shit I thought you were jisoo and you are stuyding law? WOW so cool!
Lexi Romero I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THE E X A C T SAME THING
Hi! Can you do a more in-depth video about how you take class/book notes? Are they all typed? How you organize them? Also curious about little day to day things like what do girls wear to class in law school? Undergrad was pretty relaxed...wondering if law school is more professional or not. Thanks! Great videos!
Hi, I appreciate for this video. Thanks.
Thank you for the helpful information! Also, your top is so cute! Where is it from? :)
Thank you! I bought it from a small shop in Korea near Ewha Women’s University :)
LSAT advice and making the decision to go to law school?
Thank you the info! Starting 1L in a few weeks. Can't imagine being as efficient or knowledgeable lol. These tips are great! I was wondering, did you do a law school prep class like Barbri or PowerSchool 0L or know if it's worth it. Thanks!
I didn’t, so I’m not sure if it’s worth it. Honestly I would just relax the summer before lol. You will be busy and working hard for the rest of your life :)
For the Time Being Thanks!! You're right why stress yourself out before you have to? And it's so expensive :/ Thanks for the vids! Really great to hear your perspective
Best of luck!
I love your top! Where did you get it?
That is so strange to hear you use computers! In australia we hand write all our law exams
Hi, i am a selected law applicant at the university of zambia. I like your videos they are pretty much interesting and helpful.why did you choose to study law.
Thank you so much for this helpful video! I'm curious about your thoughts on a super specific topic- being asian female in law school. Do you think that it helped or hindered you in your admission process or do you think it didn't matter? Is there truly an over saturation of asian students in law school? I'm thinking about law school and so I was wondering what your experience has been like to hopefully get an idea of what it might be like for me. Thank you so much, love your videos!
Hi Anya! I don't think there is an oversaturation of asian students in law school at all---in fact, here there is still kind of an underrepresentation, especially among Asian American students who are not East Asian. I can't say whether it helped or hindered in the admissions process, but it probably helped in that I had a more distinct perspective to bring to the table. That's something that admissions committees typically look for.
i hate exams but i like ur videos
You had it so much easier than I did during my law school days in the 1980s. We weren't allowed to bring outlines for use on the exam. Also we didn't have laptops for use on the exam. You can type much faster than having to write it out as we did. .
Hi,10 highlighters sounds fun. Thanks. :)
really enjoy the vibes through your talk girl. do you have inst that we can follow? serious request
+MIA LIU I’m @forthetimebeing_ on insta :)
you can bring a printed outline in the exam? wow! they don't let us do that at my law school.
They didn't allow that at Georgetown law either.
Can you talk about finding housing during law school, especially for your 1L year?
Our housing was assigned to us through a lottery so we didn’t have to really worry about it 🤷🏻♀️
Should I take a Barbri 1L mastery or a law school prep course before law school?
I don't think it is necessary. It's just another money maker for the providers. Good luck!
Just want to ask something about law school, but first to be honest you are truely beautiful with sweet voice ^^
First semester and I don’t feel like I know what im doing
O Love still hanging in there?
Hi, I’m a 0L who is attending SLS this coming fall. Do you have an email where I can contact you to ask questions? Thank you!
+Brandon Ho how exciting! I can’t give out my contact info on UA-cam but please get in touch with the admissions office if you have questions or would like to be matched with a current student to chat!
