Great advice! This guy seems like such a sweetheart.

Wish I saw your videos before I started law school..thanks heaps for the tips!:)

wow, thanks a lot, 4:28 Best answer

Very helpful video. There are many good points. I found the suggestions about looking for trigger words and reading the question at the end to be especially helpful. Thank you.

Stay a while, and listen. Wow, he really sounds like Deckard Cain.

I'm about to start my first year. I find this video very encouraging.

So glad I noticed the issue he pointed out in the problem question! Makes me feel a tiny bit better about my criminal law exam tomorrow :)

Having just finished my first year of law school, I think this professor is awesome & inspiring. Thank you.

If you think this is good, read "Getting to Maybe." It goes along the lines of what the professor here is saying using a very helpful 'forks' analogy.

Thanks for the advice.! :) I needed this big time. I know its early since I am about to graduate high school but it never hurts to know ahead of time. :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This opened my eyes! I had a 10/20 on my first exam of my first year and I'm currently studying for my next exam but I'm afraid to do, what the professor calls, a "brain-dump". Thanks, again!

I was interested in this because someday I want to be able to become a lawyer. I'm only 16 right now, but I'd like to know something before hand o.o..

Good advice. You guys should also check out my channel and videos. I make videos from a student perspective to answer questions and give advice about law school, student life, admissions, etc. I am a 2L that did very well 1L year so I am happy to help current 1L's by providing outlining tips, exam advice, stress-management techniques, etc. Leave me questions, comments, and feedback!

no audio?

Mr you are maybe the best law teacher ever, i'm gone follow your advice, thank you very much ! ( sorry about my english i am a french law student )

I'm having sound issues with this video. I can't hear it.

@TheYoungRepublican1 4 to 5 years...

I'm so glad I've seen this video, applying to law school has been overwhelming and daunting. It made me doubt myself, and look at law school as some untouchable thing, but it's real, and if you use common sense, it'll be okay. Thank you so much!

@ThomasJeffersonLaw : Thanks from Australia ... LEC University of Sydney

What really helps is a planner

@justaman6972 UCC is their code; as in theirs, meaning proprietary. Signing is merely the memorialization if the agreement meaning you already agreed to the terms & conditions. Anything else is contempt. Your first appearance in court is not your first court appearance. It's your first appeal. UCC stuff may work fine corp to corp but not against the state. Not when you're a citizen in collusion with it. If you really reserved your rights there would be no offer presented to sign; ab initio.

@wind0wninja good to see you're still at it man. msg me ,I have some info for you,very useful.Peace...Jurisdiction is granted usually by trickery,the defendant has no idea what happend,hence the reason I sign everything with ALL RIGHTS RESERVED W/O Prejudice UCC 1-207 and say as much when in court,that I am challenging the JD of the court,then they have to prove they have it,and if I didn't grant it they cant have gotten it. Not w/o my consent. Anyway peace.

@studentoflife01 I know old post,but it does in Roman Law, Capitis diminutio maxima,means the loss of a man's status,when in all CAPS you are basically a slave with no rights whatsoever. Google the latin term and you will find that this is used in our admiralty laws now. See any bank statements,credit card bills,govt. mail with your corp. fiction name on it. All caps is there for a reason and it means its a corporate fiction not a living blood,flesh being. You are not a person,you have a person!

That's alot of books behind him.

im a freshman law school student and ive just had my exams,(failed miserably) Any advice for me to find out if im just not doing enough,or if im just not interested in it?

@WarrenAch Ok, fair enough.

@Hocksman The problem is...3/4 of Law graduates either Specialize in Criminal or Corporate/Commercial law. In fact,if you're not in a T14 School(Plus McGill and a few others),be prepared to suck up and fight for jobs in these fields once graduating Family/Medical Malpractice/Litigation are not as saturated and offer good opportunities,don't fall for the hype.

@WarrenAch You obviously do not practice. Ditch litigation (unless it's high end liti) and family (especially this one!). Corporate & commercial, banking, mergers & acquisitions, corporate finance is where the money is.

1:30 The part about sitting in the front is important. I always sit at the front. It astounded me how many people voluntary sit in the back. I don't get it. And then those same people never anwser classroom questions.

@CadenRolland Agreed,Criminal Law is definitely saturated and new grads fight for 30k/year jobs... You want money as a Lawyer?Get an MBA and specialize in either Corporation,Litigation or Family Law.

@ThomasJeffersonLaw Fascinating no? Doesn't this demonstrate the arbitrary nature of words themselves? That the flesh and blood man is not some broad perception of linguistic syntax? How then can any court have personal jurisdiction over a living being unless expressed or implied?

Great video :)

I'm applying to law schools right now hope I get in somewhere! thank you for the pep talks and advice

@bluehorse888 (Youre watching too much TV) Dont be a criminal justice attorney, there are tons of other legal careers such as working for a school district defending schools or work for charity organizations. Some legal professionals work more with people while others more with papers. You should have a passion first then use that passion in your career.

@MurphGiovanni hahaha ... i don't know what i'd do if i couldn't access facebook, twitter, etc, etc, etc, during class though! i don't know how people used to "handle" law school pre-laptops (maybe the teachers were "actually" engaging?) hahaha

suck up..

wow what a great guy. i hope i'll have professors as kind as him next year

i wish i had a professor like that

An A answer identifies correctly and fully all issues and subissues raised by the question. It states all applicable (and potentially applicable) legal rules and subrules with precision. It analyzes the facts of the question thoroughly in light of the applicable rules, and explores all alternative modes of analysis where appropriate. Finally, it applies the law to the facts to reach appropriate conclusions.

this is a little BS-ish in my opinion ... i am a 2L at georgetown ... while professors don't like "brain dumps" out of a commercial outline ... they really like it when you "brain dump" their words on to an exam ... that is to say ... if you take really good notes in class, it has been my experience that if you just "dump" everything a prof said on to an exam ... you get good grades ...

I needed this! Thanks for posting!

That doesn't make any sense, pal. I bet you are in law school.

Great stuff!

How long did the boost last?

Nice,im getting my university degree in canada,and my brother is working in boston and i'll aim for Harvard Law school another good university...all my grades are above 90% since i was 15... Law is my life.I know i can make it and i hope i'll get in as soon as possible.Good luck to all possible candidates because we all know it ain't gonna be so easy.But sometimes,if you're motivated and put your mind into it,dreams can become true.

Thank u Professor S. David. Many people try to study Law and fail twice. Do you think they should give up on their dream course?

What about Chewbaca defense?

That's only true for the US. In Europe, you can start studying law without any degree.

Pace yourself, get a good night's sleep; excellent advice, and not just for law school...

Excellent! Focused and direct! Professor John Delaneu
