    For reference on each year of studying, I studied probably 80hrs a week 1L, 30 hrs a week 2L, 5 hrs a week 3L (if that lol)

      may i ask why 3L was so lax compared to the others?

      By then you figured out how to think like a lawyer to some degree, or should have. Cases and stautes no longer seem like they are written in Egyptian when you read them.

    You are spot on about study groups. I am an older 1L, they don’t work for me. I found that law school wore me out towards the end of the 1st semester (I’m 60). I like to re-read my quizzes. In addition I found that practicing writing legal analysis was very helpful for me, especially going into finals. I feel I have a better understanding. Thanks again, you have a great story.

    I start Law school in August. I keep seeing videos about the importance on doing outlines. I am going to review and study how to do an outline before school starts so I can have an example. I may have a few prepared as an example of how o structure them. I have never heard of an "attack outline" though. Thankyou for this video.

    Thank you so much for this Julian ✨
    I wanna share something.
    I'm from India, studying law.
    Here, a person can get into a law school just after the high school but, the law degree is of 5 years which is an A.B. and a J.D.... I am currently in my 2nd year out of 5 years.... But I passed my 1st year with only 3.2 gpa out of 4... But I have a dream of studying law in US... I wish to go to T-14 law schools for either llm or a jd again... Can you please help me is there any chances of getting in a T-14 law school with a low undergraduate gpa? Or should I work harder to achieve more? Means what minimum gpa will I be required to get into them?
