I plan to take questions about law school, the admissions process, the experience, etc. and I will then post reply videos addressing the best questions. I want to be whatever help I can!
Law school incorporates logical analysis, deduction, and critical reading and reasoning, which are the principles tested by the LSAT. While the questions themselves may not be relevant, the methods of attacking them are very useful in both critical reading and argumentation. Reading comprehension is obviously very important when all you do is read cases. And it helps to understand logical reasoning principles when assessing and analyzing legal arguments. Logic games are least relevant.
1. Pick a major you enjoy. Any major can go to law school. Common ones are poli sci, english, history, and philosophy as well. but you could literally pick any major, even something like music or biology and still attend law school. That is because you don't have to know specific things in advance before law school. Just be a good reader, and hopefully have pretty good writing skills 2. There are many international students in law school, but varies based on location
3. The job market is tough and competitive. I won't lie and say its easy. But it depends on what school you attend. If you go to a very good top school, it isn't very hard to find a good job. If you attend a lower-ranked school, it can be very difficult to find a legal job. Also have to consider the place where you want to find a job, what types of jobs you are looking for, etc. 4. Taking some extra CC courses won't kill your chances. They total your GPA from everything, so just do well
Thanks for your videos really great help ! I'm graduating in 6 months with my degree in History . Im sure I will have questions in the future. Once again thanks
I'd prefer not to say specifically which school I go to, as to try and preserve some level of anonymity. But if you send me private messages, I can perhaps discuss in a bit more detail
Hi I'm currently in a community college and waiting to transfer to a public U. 1) What undergrad major do you think is good for law school? I wanna major in philosophy. 2) are there many international students in law school? 3) is it still hard to find a job as an lawyer? 4) Do you think taking many community college courses would kill my chance of getting in a top U?
What are your thoughts on preparing for LSAT specifically? What was your experience as far as how long you studied, what you found helpful, and any preparation advice that you would give to others preparing for the LSAT?
I don't really do LSAT advice (since that could be a channel and video series in itself), but I'll give you my basic tips. I actually recorded a video on LSAT basics since so many people ask, and since its been so long since I uploaded a video, but can't seem to get it to upload
I studied during the summer after graduating college, so about 2 months of continuous study. I took a prep course but not sure it was worth the money. My self-study was the most effective part. Buy the Powerscore Bibles (both logical reasoning and logic games), and buy as many real tests and real Q's as you can get. Those are most important. Review EVERYTHING you do, and always analyze all answer choices to see how they tried to trick you
if you have any personal Qs that you would prefer not to discuss via public comments, feel free to send me a private message via CZcams and I will be sure to get back to you. On my channel page, just click the "About" tab, and then you should see the option to Send Message.
Yep, I did. Worked in large firm for 6 years, and now work in-house for an amazing company. My specialty is in labor & employment law, which is certainly an area I would recommend to incoming lawyers
This is exactly what I was looking for I appreciate your prompt response. Keep us posted on LSAT video(s).
Finally put up an LSAT video. Check it out!
My pleasure. Thanks for the kind words

Thank you! Hope it is helpful, and definitely let me know if you have any questions.
We miss you bro!
I'm still here :) Even though no videos in awhile, I'm still happy to answer questions and help people out as best I can
Haha I've never gotten that one before. If I can find a real life Topanga, I'll take it :)

What would you say your biggest obstacle was about Law School?

Are you still alive? Did you ever become a lawyer
Yep, I did. Worked in large firm for 6 years, and now work in-house for an amazing company. My specialty is in labor & employment law, which is certainly an area I would recommend to incoming lawyers
