@@sonia_k33 I did go to and the experience was both fascinating and disheartening. Fascinating because I could finally learn how to look up all sorts of arguments and the professors worked to explain the reasoning behind the arguments even when they seemed simple. Disheartening because one Torts class had a discussion of one of Lincoln's cross-examinations and the class forgot about it two weeks later. It seems amazing how fast students forgot material that had been discussed in depth. However, the lines in the song and the jokes made it easier to remember some of the concepts so maybe my studying process was a little different. I found the academics fun (but I am kinda weird and get emotional charge from seeing how large systems work in detail) but the lack of energetic discussion from classmates was disappointing.
@@geschichtegeek6958 sorry to hear student discussion wasn't fun. I definitely had some class "debates" where the prof had to move things along b4 ppl got way too heated.
for the record law school students you can blame us Public Administration or Public Policy students for your stress. we are the major that actually is designed to influence legislators on potential laws.
Nah. Lawyers will be so focused on trying to win against each other that they will demand the law gets more detailed (and thus complicated). A lot of the process is learning how inevitable some decisions are and remember which decision was made when and where.
that's why you only go if you get into a top 20 school. if youre successful form a good uni (i.e. good contacts) and you dont let the socratic method fool you, then youll do well. Better than going to med school and graduating at 38 in my opinion.
Probably true. The thing is, Law School teaches you to reason through the goals a law or opinion is trying to achieve, not what the rule itself is. The broader scope of legal evolution is what underlies students so there is a huge shift in focus when students are about to take exams based on actual law or the specifics of a local jurisdiction. As a lawyer, I know plenty about how courts review evidence but not much about the law on a matter until I am dealing with a specific issue and that includes things like how the heck do I send a complaint to an opposing party.
This makes me so enthusiastic about my decision to go to Law School.
Geschichte Geek Well, did you?
So...

I had to take a Law Class when I went to a Media college. Law students, you all have my pity, and my admiration.
WCL Law Revue! Where can I get one of those red "Law School Musical" shirts? I'm at Georgetown.

LOL, not sure the rule against perpetuities is something I ever knew.
lol it's like the simplest rule ever. Coletta explains it really well.
@@ginnylicious2 The rule by itself is simple, the rule as applied to class gifts is mindbending.
right?!
I survived.
