NBPLC 2019 The Black Law Student Experience Panel

[@allthingstravon21]

Whew the way this just motivated my spirit and pushed me to go back and finish my undergrad and apply to law school!! We need more Black lawyers PERIOD

The lady in red is absolutely right. The most effective way to score high on the LSAT is to: 1. Take a diagnostic lsat test 2. learn the fundamentals of each section (logic games, analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension) 3. Take a practice exam (under real LSAT conditions) 4. Blind review 5. Do practice questions based on specific question types you struggle with 6. Repeat steps 3-5 for at least 10 practice tests 7 sage was by far the best study aid. You have to put the time in to get your desired results.

Good discussion but I’m kinda disappointed by a few things. 1. No one mentioned the 3-4 month study plans law schooli offers that would help the lady out who has a lot on her plate/ didn’t do much better after taking a law course online. It’s also cheaper then a course you’ll spend about 200 bucks for the books needed for the schedule and 25 or so for the plan. It gives you certian readings and practice test from books each week you have to complete during that week... so it would ensure she kept up with it... cause if you miss a week you’ll not finish it in the 3-4 months or whatever. Lastly I feel like the introductions featured statements that would make Christian black students or conservative black students feel uncomfortable and unwelcome... I feel like politics/sexual orientation and and a few other things mention should have been left out. Not every black person is a democrat (I’m not a republican just throwing that out there), and not every (in fact quite a few) black person (because of religious or if not religious political values) condone gay marriage. Maybe some believe everyone should have a right to their religion and their sexual preference but they don’t personally agree with let’s say a islam or Hinduism or gay marriage. It’s important that conferences like this one unite all blacks people is my point. But besides that and a few other things I don’t see a need to mention I enjoyed this almost as much as I enjoyed the last one.

Mike Watkins Jr I think you’re missing the point as to why she addressed the fact that she was queer. It’s important to mention certain commodities like this, because it’s simply not talked about within the black community in general-especially in the world of law. It’s important for: queer, gay, bisexual, transgender, and lesbian black people to see representation so that they have courage to dream. She didn’t spend her entire introduction on her orientation (through praised for her openness). She simply stated things that were important to her just like every other panelist.

@@jonofitzgerald Agree to disagree on the queer address. I can't say that i've had people mention their sexual orientation and political party when they introduced themselves to me (and my current job involves me meeting a plethora of individuals each week. Not to mention it's in government.) Sure as we get to know each other they eventually mention their religion, sexual orientation (if they are LGBTQ of course...if you're straight you typically don't talk about it), and other things of that nature but yeah. But the whole political portion of the introductions clearly went beyond just introductions. It's one thing to say I'm a proud democrat...it's another thing to go at a Republican official. Also, the law advice given to the student wasn't helpful enough either. In the end, though this is just a review...people give "review" to movies, youtube vids, songs, etc. all the time on what they believe needs to improve. And that's important because all of these avenues are entertainment-based....so the goal is to please the viewer. I thoroughly enjoyed this video just giving ways I believe it can improve for the general public. On an older video, it was the music they played that was annoying during the video...on this one it's something else.
