The first week of law school can seem completely overwhelming.
Just take a step back and realize that it's all going to be okay.
Everyone feels overwhelmed. You're thrown into a situation that you've never been in before. You're learning about subjects that you didn't know existed. It's probably going over your head. You probably feel stressed out, you might be a little freaked out, that's okay, everyone feels that way. But let's talk about all the dos and don'ts of your first week of law school. Everything you can do to maximize your chances of success later on and everything you can do to minimize your stress in the present.
★ You should understand that the way that law school is taught is completely backwards. You learn the most antiquated arcane cases early on in the semester and there is very little chance that any of those cases will be used on the final exam.
★ The second thing to realize is that a lot of the information that your school is going to give you is bad.
★ Don’t try to do everything.
★ Start outlining.
★ Learn to write an issue spotting exam and spot all the issues.

I can't wait until his episode about the 39th week of law school.
Starting law school in 2021, i'm super excited. Hugs from Brazil.
I am starting Law school september 1st, i am so excited and have been looking forward to this for two+ years. Thank you for making me feel more confident about it LegalEagle!
Thank you for your Channel and videos. My fiancé is in law school and this helps me understand his frustration and where he’s coming from.
I know a couple of my friends went to Harvard Law and they have a firm, nothing too special. But, by being on CZcams you are reaching out to people and making a difference in other people's lives by the masses. It's something that you should take time out of your day and appreciate that about yourself. Amazing job for an amazing person. 😁
Starting law school in 6 days sooo nervous but glad I found this channel
Hi Devin, thank you for your insights and elucidations. It's helped to alleviate a lot of stress in preparing for law school this year. I don't often subscribe to channels, but when I do... I prefer LegalEagle. Keep up the good work.
Great advice. I found briefing cases helped a lot the first few weeks. You’ll quickly learn to find the material facts and issues after a few weeks.
Honestly, I've been looking how law school will be. I'm so new to it all... It's very daunting to know where to start. You have helped immensely in the way you explain the process. Thank you
Congratulations 👏👏 ! You have a new follower ( a new law student )
Congratulations to you because you made a great choice! What burning law school questions would you like us to cover next?
How did your first year go ?
Ditto!
@@imane7052 she dropped out
Wisest Of the the century looool imagine if she actually did
thanks for this video. it is very educational and useful.keep it up with the good work !!! 👍👍👍
I've got orientation in t-minus 25 days so really appreciate this.
How'd it go?
First day of law school tomorrow.
Thank you for this!
Sophomore business major, hoping to get into a law school after. Love the videos!!
i hope you did by now, and if you didn't i hope you re not demoralised and push again and again to achieve your goals
Your videos are awesome. Thank you!
Could you do a video exploring the value of extracurricular activities while in law school? I’m thinking that I’d like to be involved with the school’s Student Bar Association as an officer, but a more popular opinion seems to be that law review is the only valuable extracurricular activity for law students.
That is a great idea. Law review is certainly the most prestigious, but that doesn't mean its the only one that's "valuable." Moot court can be a great resume booster too, especially if you win awards. Topic-specific law journals can also help, especially in that industry (for example, a Tax Law Journal if you want to go into tax or Entertainment Law Journal if you want to go into entertainment law). In practice, I got a lot of mileage out of all the skills I learned in Mock Trial. The bottom line is that any extra-curricular can be helpful if you are really interested in it. They can also show that you are passionate about something and give you something to talk about in interviews. Conversely, most can be useless if you are just joining to pad your resume.
LegalEagle Thank you for your reply!
I understanding that you're talking from experience, and thus mainly referencing the American system, but I want to say that this is really helping me with my English Law Conversion.
The GDL (English conversion course), is done post-grad, like American law school, but is only 1 year. Its the 9 mandatory modules done in a regular English law degree which are typically spread across 2 years, condensed into one.
As such, its going to be intense but very interesting.
2 week update, can confirm- am dying.
How is it turning out now? Lol
How did it go?
Caleb Strife Went well in the end. Got a first class award so that’s good. Hardest I’ve ever had to work though.
Vani Khandelwal Got a first class degree and also a training contract with my dream firm which was awesome- was hard and difficult but very rewarding. Definitely recommended for UK students considering law who have other disciplinary backgrounds.
I love coming back to these just to realize HOW RIGHT HE IS
While some of your law school advice is helpful, being in Australia I've noticed there are significant differences in how law school operates, for example it is taken as an undergraduate degree and is 5 years full time or 10 part time
In 5 days its my first week of law school, so excited !
How are you doing now?
Great....keep it up
How does writing an essay for law school differ from how essays are normally written? 😊🙏
Yes I am learning on test and mo sleep at it's
hi! im ngoc from vietnamese! thanks for your videos.
I'm getting start it's law school and it's new to me::::::::!
Is there a channel like this for business school
Whole semester i had bad headaches after every class
I think I'm going to cite Pearson v. Post on my property final exam.
College school and studying 📖 law
What do you mean by commercial/supplemental materials?
Your vidoe help me a lot from it's
We have to post case briefs for our grade 😭
I am doing a story on a celebrity as well and ptsion right now
What happens if all students in the same class follow this video's advice?
We need you in life! 😂
Back in the old days, I'm sure you could find out your professor's favorite liquor, and give them a bottle ; or their favorite cigars, and give them a box.
I still have the USA military videos who were around... +Something I can't show.
Yes i'm am youtube ro learn on there
can you introduce to me some books helping me develop critical thinking and logical thinking?
Lethingoc Lethingoc to improve critical thinking try reading argumentative material, and see how each side argues the same issue from different sides. One example is reading scientific journals were authors argues on the same topic, pro v.con.
I am confused. I thought one of the purposes of case briefing was to be able to answer the questions properly when professors call on you...
Keep in mind this is coming from the Pre-law student, soon to be 1L so please forgive my ignorance.
I think for cold calls yes briefing will help. But outlining is more important
I HATE study groups. You always have someone in the group that wants to control everything, people talk in circles and it's a big waste of time.
Yo in my exam we had a mysterious legendary whale, pierson vs post was so applicable 😂😂😂
Can you guid me to read some books ...some law books that can help...
Dr Mike: chest compressions!!
Dr stone: issue spotting exams!!
Me:*confused economist noises*
Are these essays hand written or typed up these days? Curious about those of us with atrocious hand writing.
Let me know if anyone has questions about University of Miami law school!!
hey man . I really like watching your videos they are very informative. I am in yr12 and currently studying to set my AS level exams. I honestly cant tell whether you are American or not. So AS level is like SAT'S but for the British Curriculum. So I'm taking History , Economics , Sociology and Math. Do you believe these subjects would help me or benefit me in order to do become a law student. In two years I will be finished with 'high school' and applying to good law universities in the UK. I'm freaking the hell out man. oh and by the way I am assuming you are a lawyer if so what kind ?
P.s I want to become a solicitor because that's where the big bucks come in haha
thanks for the videos :)
Hey TLG! I am an American lawyer -- a civil trial lawyer, in fact. As I understand it, that's more or less equivalent to a barrister in the UK, except we don't have to wear the wigs.
Law school is unlike high school or university (it is sui generis, as we lawyers like to say). So take the classes that you really enjoy and get good grades. Few lower classes provide much preparation or benefit from the perspective of law school. So take the opportunity to learn about the world and become a well rounded human being! Oh, and learn to be a great writer -- practicing law is all about good writing.
alright thanks for the advice man much appreciated.
My granddaughter just started law school at The University of Akron. She took an “Oath of Professionalism”. It addressed the legal profession as a whole. Is this common at all law schools?
yeah
What is an outline
Law students condense their notes and other sources down into a manageable study guide called an outline.
LegalEagle like a summary
LegalEagle Don’t you combine the issue and holding from the case briefs with your handwritten notes that you have typed up to create the outline?
"Most of your grades will come from issue spotting exams"
"Issue spotting exams are completely useless for your finals and you should'nt invest time into them."
Contradicting isn't it?
Marienkarpfen he said case briefings are useless
Pompous SOB
What's your problem?
Jealous?
