Thanks for watching! These tips are all based on my own experiences and opinions. They're just suggestions that I wish I'd known before I started.. enjoy!
I have a cousin who never studied much,we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than studies after writing the LSAT she passed and I failed😣, I asked her how she did it, just found out she got her help from Mr Thomas ..
Yes. There are three key parts to becoming an attorney: attending and graduating from law school, taking a bar prep course and passing the bar, and getting legal internships and learning the practice of law.
Don't lose yourself! Finding hobbies to make sure you're still you. Great tip because even when you become a lawyer you still need to be you in order to be a successful lawyer, and your hobbies may help you find what you want to do within law!
I’m thinking about going to law school, and was really excited to hear that you still dance. I’ve been a ballerina for most of my life, and would love to be able to continue to dance.
I need some advice for getting into law school. My undergrad GPA tanked due to life circumstances and difficulty readjusting from the military. However, I have since found employment as a Correction's Officer and, by repeating courses, my undergrad GPA is improving and I'm currently making straight A's. However, even with my newfound momentum, I will likely not break into 3.0 GPA range. What are other ways I can gain a leg up to get into law school? My end goal is to become a defense attorney specializing in cases related to 2A and self-defense shootings.
I'm already starting to watch these 1L advice videos even though I don't start until August but your advice already feels so helpful. I was wondering if you have any tips on how to find a clerk position during your 1L year. I know you mentioned smaller firms are a good way to go but how do you go about finding ones that might fit and then reaching out? I'm going to be in Boston next year and would love to hit the ground running with experience!
I found a lot through my school's online job board called Atlas. But also get to know upperclassmen and ask where they've interned! And then you can always just find the managing partner at a small firm and cold-email them or their paralegal with your resume and availability, asking if they need help. At least in Phoenix I know a ton of small firms have caseloads wayyyy too big for them so they need law students!
This was very helpful bc I just started this week! I just made my own youtube channel and hope to do law school related content like yours. i love your videos!
I’m also going into 2L this fall and I 100% agree with all of these tips!! I’d also suggest taking one day a week to not do any work (like all day Sunday) so you have something to motivate your studying because you won’t get to study that one day and it will give you time to take a break and do things you like (or just rest), it helps reduce burnout :)
Thank you for this video! About not comparing yourself along with maintaining what keeps you happy & grounded was good advice. I am a doctor who decided to go to law school I am 1L this month. I plan on keeping these tips in mind. ☺️⚖️
A professor suggested I go into law school. She introduced me to a district attorney and he said to contact him. I'm seriously considering going into law school now.
I would have a laptop and a way to take notes by hand, just in case you have a professor who does not allow laptops! Also, many of my professors hand out hard copies of the syllabus and other relevant forms on the first day, so maybe a folder to hold those. And I'll touch on this more in my upcoming Q&A video!
A question about your clerkship: how did you go about finding the position? Did you ask around locally, was there a website, did you hear about it from your school's career services, or was it by word of mouth? What is the best way you would say to go about finding a clerkship?
Do they actually teach the United States Constitution and that it doesn't change over time as in the words of late justice Scalia the Constitution I interpret is dead !! If laws students don't understand the Constitution then we have nothing and also a bunch of activities making it up as they go I hope you're school taught you to interrupt the Constitution and law of the United States as WRITTEN I can't stress that enough
I failed 3 times, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I've not lost hope
i'm sorry for your plight my friend but i was once in your shoes before i was recommended to Mr Thomas and thats how i passed LSAT
I had interest in working with him but I was discouraged by my friends out of ignorance 😔
I have a cousin who never studied much,we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than studies after writing the LSAT she passed and I failed😣, I asked her how she did it, just found out she got her help from Mr Thomas ..
Sometimes hard work doesn’t pay you have to back it up with smartness🤓, I think your cousin understood that perfectly
Please does anyone know who this Mr Thomas is? I really need to speak with him I’m frustrated
Yes. There are three key parts to becoming an attorney: attending and graduating from law school, taking a bar prep course and passing the bar, and getting legal internships and learning the practice of law.
Great way to put it Michelle. I am definitely finding that to be the case and those three parts are not as related as they seem!
I am currently about to go through my first set of finals for 1L year and just found your channel. This was such a helpful video thank you!!
This was a great video. It was very informative and concise! So rare on YT in re: attending law school.
Great video! I agree with everything. When I was in law school, I had similar experiences.
Don't lose yourself! Finding hobbies to make sure you're still you. Great tip because even when you become a lawyer you still need to be you in order to be a successful lawyer, and your hobbies may help you find what you want to do within law!
True, but getting top grades during law school is key to even getting a real attorney job.
this was EXACTLY what I needed before starting law school in a few weeks! Thank you!!
Awesome! Wishing you all the best as you get started!

Same! I start in October.
I’m thinking about going to law school, and was really excited to hear that you still dance. I’ve been a ballerina for most of my life, and would love to be able to continue to dance.
Finding ways to keep dance a part of my life has been soo rewarding throughout law school!
Very well done. Clear and inspiring. First time viewer. Good job.
Thank you so much!
This was super helpful! I'm going to law school this fall and will def keep these tips in mind thanks :-)

That's awesome! If you're interested in it I say go for it!
Hi Jenn! What would you recommend bringing to law school on the first day? Should you just bring a laptop? Thanks!
I would have a laptop and a way to take notes by hand, just in case you have a professor who does not allow laptops! Also, many of my professors hand out hard copies of the syllabus and other relevant forms on the first day, so maybe a folder to hold those. And I'll touch on this more in my upcoming Q&A video!

I used my school's online job board! They would post soo many positions on there and I applied to just about all of them.
This is so helpful! I'm going to apply to ASU
Definitely!
Jenn Martin yay ty!
I start in 2 weeks and just started watching your videos 💀
thanks i need to hear that i started law school last week and i'm feeling stress already
the beginning can feel so overwhelming but develop routines you feel confident in and stick to them, and hopefully that minimizes stress. good luck!!
Jenn Martin thanks Jenn you inspire me 😘
