Does the book you are using for Torts show or give the defenition of a legal concept on one page and then present a case on the next page where the authors give a case to illistrate a legal concept?

You are awesome! Thank you for doing these videos. I start next month and am preparing. How many hours on average would you recommend studying per week? I have heard 15 hours to 25 hours from various people. What was your average or your idea on this?

Thanks 👍 how does the yearly calendar look for a first-year law student? Like how many classes and for how long is there a break in between like a month or 2 weeks before the second or third session of the year
@MacyySuee8 ай бұрын
1L students take 4 classes over the course of 52 weeks. There are no breaks during the course of the school year, but if you stay on top of your assignments and the rest of the workload then it is easy to take a short break here and there as needed. You then have approximately a month off in between years as you await finals to be graded and your enrollment paperwork to be processed.

Does the Casebook you are using for Criminal Law have the defenition of a legal concept on one page and then a case on the next page where the authors illustrate the actual legal concept?
@MacyySuee2 жыл бұрын
The casebooks are almost entirely cases with very little definitions/rules on anything. I like to describe the casebooks as working examples of the topics we learn in class. They’re more supplementive .

I have a few questions for the creator of this video. Have you ever used the Examples and Explanations series? If you have how does it compare to the Gilbert,s series you showed in this video? If you have used both of these series to study in law school do you believe they can be used effectively in combination?

Do we need to get the EXACT edition of the textbooks? Is one edition before good enough? Like if they ask for the 14th ed can we get the 13th one?
@MacyySuee2 жыл бұрын
Usually within one edition is okay. Occasionally that may mean there is a case you have to brief that is not in there, but you can use lexis nexus to look up those ones!

Hi Macy, Thanks for your video. I am in Florida. I have been looking at Northwestern ca. Your video was helpful in regards to the textbooks. I was considering getting a head start before my first year, to take some of the pressure off. I was considering purchasing the books and working through them on my own for 6 mos or a year and then enrolling, as if I were a law student. In other words, creating a situation were one year of study is stretched out over two unofficially. I am interested in getting ahold of some sort of law school syllabus or standard curriculum, to help guide the process. Many 1Y programs are structured similarly. Torts, Contracts… Do you have any knowledge of where I can find an outline like this? Also, where did you purchase your books? I spoke with a former Northwestern Grad this week, and he told me to start reading on Wikipedia. Wiki has a reputation in academic circles, but he swears by it, and I have learned quite a bit. One case leads to another, terms. Torts, contracts, and the like. Just thought some may be interested if they can afford tuition initially and want to jump in. What’s the worst that can happen? You figure out you Lloyd law or hate it before spending cash and you learn quite a bit in the process, for nothing else, perhaps for no other reason than for the sake of learning. Thanks again. Keep at it!

Hi Todd! I purchased all of my books off of Amazon in 1L but for 2L I actually just rented them from Amazon. Unfortunately we are not allowed to share copies of the syllabi/course outlines as all NWCU material is strictly copyrighted, but I do not think it would be as helpful to complete these readings that far in advance due to needing to do it for the case briefs and also because one of the 1L classes, Introduction to law school, legal research & writing, gives you a lot of helpful information that will make it much easier to process what you are reading and need to be looking for. If anything I would suggest reviewing Quizlets for each class to familiarize yourself with key terms or to review landmark/current event cases.
