Re: Law School
Oh law. I am a political science major and the natural progression is to law. I decided to get a degree in social science education so I could teach and coach football.
Good luck though! Networking and your personality will end up mattering far more than what school you go to when you do look for a job.Comment

Re: Law School
Go to all your classes. Be prepared for class by doing the reading and case briefing assigned. Participate in class discussion.Last day of orientation starting in a few minutes.
What they've told me so far:
1. Law school will become your life
2. Do not be an idiot in your personal life, because it will come back to haunt you the rest of your life. Also, a great quote from an old Miami lawyer... "Do not go to downtown Miami where lewd things happen"
That's about it. Sounds like it will be a lot of hard work and I'm almost in the right mindset for it, just have to start getting those study habits down.
Any words of advice out there for a 1L?
You can get all the work done, do well and still have free time and a social life.Comment

Re: Law School
Ok so I have to start prepping for the LSAT. I refuse to take any courses or classes like kaplan etc, because I took them for the SAT's and hardly noticed any improvment.
I'm not the best test taker, more of a paper writer so I know I need to mentally prepare myself for a long grueling test. Also I took a practice LSAT with no prep or studying and scored a 145 which isn't really good. I'm looking to score in the 160-165 range.
Right now I'm looking at getting some books or things like that to help me prep. I plan on spending some extra time during the semester studying, but will use winter break as my hardcore studying time.Last edited by ASB37; 09-07-2009, 09:09 PM.Go Yankees

Re: Law School
Whatever gets you prepared, you don't necessarily need to take a course. If you buy a book or two and take at least 6 or 7 practice tests, that should get you ready enough for the LSAT. The more you practice, the better you'll get.Ok so I have to start prepping for the LSAT.
