#7-- Study groups. Big study groups tend to devolve into chat and bitch sessions. Someone in the group will always need their hand patted or their ego stroked. Someone will always be lagging behind or failing to pull his weight. You're better off in a group of no more than 3 people total, all of whom are laser-focused and on their game.
Love your tips...I went to Law School for one year, got married, wife lost our first child, wife divorced me, I went down... dropped out of Law School. Ready to give it a second try😼
I'm still in high school but it's my dream to become a lawyer and I always work hard in high school..but it doesn't really work because of all this time waster..my grades are ordinary..but im still gonna try my best to get in law school because it's really my passion and nothing can be compared to my ambition..please support and pray for me everyone😊
Just about to start my first semester, Im from a common law country and thank god your tips are applicable here and thank you for making these videos! I managed my first semester well, my professors don't know me from class but i bet they now do because i crushed my finals! And you are spot about students trying to impress, i found out that they annoy the professors most of the time. Thanks again by the way!
The more I listen to tips like this, the more confused I get as to why there is legal discrimination towards CA graduates of online law schools. I'm starting Concord Law school because of my life circumstances, the lower cost of the school, and because the price will allow me to get into public defense work without starving to death. As a non traditional student that attained the last credits of undergrad work online, I can vouch that despite the convenience of online work, the online route is harder because there's much more writing and exams involved. Plus, at this stage in my life, the facade of prestige and impressing others is not my cup of tea. Online law school appears to cut down on some of the major time drains discussed in these tips. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
In grad school, I lived near the law school/law library, so I tried going there to study with intensity. It didn't work because law students are way too social and constantly inviting me out drinking. I learned I had to go to the med school library to study with intensity. The med students would shoot your a dirty look if you sneezed.
Aside from briefing, I agree. Briefing allows me to extract rules and reasoning better. I have found a way to write them more efficiently and effectively. However, I am down to briefing for only two classes and notating for the other three.
My contracts professor would randomly pick up case briefs for a random case and we never knew which or win and 10 percent of our grade was based on those 3 briefs we had to have. So, we had to brief every one and I hated that.
I object. Metaphysics is all about not knowing the right answer. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle makes it clear that there are multiple possible outcomes for a situation and the more you know about one facet like location the less you know about another like speed.
Hey, I came across your channel and I must say it’s very insightful. However I’m still in Uni, second year first semester. I was hoping you could recommend books on Tort Law and Public International Law. Thanks ☺️☺️
Please review the good wife/ the good fight. Pleeeease. I like it for the lawyering. I consider it the new law and order (to an extent) Have you seen it yet?
As with any advice, it's situational. This may be true for most classes but there is probably a professor or two for whom doing things like case briefs will be beneficial.
Well this would of been to watch before I went to law school. As a law school and bar exam survivor I gotta say these tips are spot on.
Well, better late than never.

Damn, that is harsh. Good luck the second time around!
Good luck man! I'm sure you will do amazing. :)
Maybe you shouldn't do Law. I don't know i feel like theres a reason why all this happened.
Love the spirit. You can do it and good luck.
Go for it. God bless.

I’m a 1L one week away from finals. Bama Law ftw!
I wasted so much time briefing cases until I wised up a couple weeks ago.
literally case briefs don't get you anywhere by final exams. this is the truth

The good news is that getting into law school is mostly about your LSAT score.
solita sonia I’m the same way
Worry about college first
Did you ever make it to law school?
I wish someone would do this for other fields. Accounting, medicine, etc.

I'm in junior high I dunno why I'm watching this...
Prepping maybe
Actually these points can apply to high school as well, though slightly different.
Get an early start. Join mock trial in HS!
You won't talk up your grade in office hours, but it can still be useful later on if you develop relationships with some of your professors.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Deeply appreciated.
You're very welcome!

Would be interested to hear what you're doing for "efficient briefs" and "notating" other cases.
Good video and some good general tips for any student from high school to undergrad.

Thank you this is helpful!! :)
It looks like the ebook for reading cases isn't available anymore?
Watch “The Paper Chase” before even applying to law school.
We had one lecturer who referred to cold calling as 'pulling teeth,' because it's always painful to watch.
Hey, I came across your channel and I must say it’s very insightful. However I’m still in Uni, second year first semester. I was hoping you could recommend books on Tort Law and Public International Law. Thanks ☺️☺️
But don't you think that actually reading the cases increases your comprehension and ability to decipher cases more time efficiently?
You should read the cases, but you should do so efficiently. Check out what I mean in the video I did on the "Flipped Case" Method.
Looks like someone skipped metaphysics in undergrad haha. Great video though man, thanks a ton!
I did very well in metaphysics, thank you very much!
Then you've gotta point me to the metaphysics course that gave you concrete answers about anything!
I just want to see the transition from this to you becoming a meme god xD
I may try the not briefing cases thing....im strugling to complete most of my readings and im 4 weeks in
Case briefs are a huge waste of time. Biggest time suck in law school.
So how are we supposed to study to get the best
Please review the good wife/ the good fight. Pleeeease. I like it for the lawyering. I consider it the new law and order (to an extent) Have you seen it yet?
How some someone's get 30th year from the 90s as well
I’m going to Hong Kong for jd study. Thanks for the tips!
Great advice. But, no free download.
Where's the link to the free "how to read your casebook" you said in the first minute?
Here ya go: ua-cam.com/video/PxGGbymWYA0/v-deo.html
Finding this as a 3L is triggering 😂
Can i join foundation year in law without higher school degree
My professor has been assigning case briefs as hw? What’s a good way to satisfy his requirement but also not waste time?
anthony antonini switch schools xD
As with any advice, it's situational. This may be true for most classes but there is probably a professor or two for whom doing things like case briefs will be beneficial.
I love your video it's help me
"the least bad answer" Just like political elections.
Still studying how the happening to people's X is getting life
