[@lennythelawyer-live8559]

As a practing attorney for 36 years, I can tell you that all a law school teaches you is how to think like an attorney and if your lucky, you will learn how to sit for and pass the bar. Law School teaches you nothing about the business of practice of law. Law school does not teach you that if there is an issue with a client, and the client complaints to the Ethics committee, you are pursumed guilty until proven business.

[@sevenstarsofthedipper1047]

I retired 3 years ago after litigating for 40 years. You are absolutely right. I think the 3rd year of law school should be practical training in skills such as passing the bar, civility, ethics, managing time and client expectations, and self care. I never was interested in Big Law. I began my career as a criminal defense attorney and after one year, I moved to another State where I was a Legal Aid attorney for 30 years, and ended my career working in a small firm representing public entities. The summer after my 1L, I worked for a United Methodist Church social services agency where I came up with the idea of establishing a medical clinic in the so called Black ghetto which still exists today. Other than being a father, this was the most important accomplishment of my life.

The other important thing you did not mention is that the grades are important primarily important to obtaining your first job. I went to a prestigous New York Law School, with the idea that I was going into private practice and starting my own law firm. There is no doubt the first year of law school is the most important. I learned more about the practice of law by working at 2 different types of out of town law firms.

I’m in the process of applying to law schools, I’m really trying to go to Howard because I want the HBCU experience. The process of finding a jobs frightens me because it is a lower tier school. However, you gave me a little ease at knowing that getting a great job is possible regardless of the school you attend.

[@TheAspiringBoss]

Yes it is very possible! I think i said this but sometimes the right connections and networking will help tremendously! From what I hear, Howard’s connections can be great!! And I love that you want to do HBCU, that’s probably one of my biggest regrets is not attending for at least one of my degrees!

[@jamarcus1ish]

The Aspiring Boss I think you should do a video on PWI VS HBCU law schools. The legal profession is inherently racist. So, talking about how both schools prepare you for the legal profession. However, realistically speaking PWI’s just prepare you on how the legal profession looks in terms of race. HBCU’s you can develop so many relationships with black lawyers across the U.S. This is whats makes it a harder decisions for me.

[@TheAspiringBoss]

@@jamarcus1ish yesss that’s a great idea.

I would appreciate your response so much and i hope that you can answer my question (because I don't know any other lawyers that i can ask). Stay well, healthy and thanks for posting videos!!!

I will keep it honest, law school can be challenging so if you struggle with English and you go to law school in the states you might run into some frustration, HOWEVER, i would not let that stop you from chasing your dream. There are plenty of sources available to help with English and the good news is - legal writing is a different form of Writing and research is different from what is learned in college so everyone will have that portion of the learning curve!

You have to be pretty slow-witted to go to law school in the US in 2024, we already have far, far too many lawyers, and not nearly enough jobs/paying clients for them. The law schools just want you money, they don't see students as law students at all, but rather as "student loan conduits" (the money flows form the government, in loans, through the hapless student, and straight into the law school's bank account. Professors drive Mercedes purchased with their students student loan dollars. It's a huge scam; don't be a sucker, don't fall for it.

Rather, it is doing something profoundly stupid that will lead to massive debt and unemployment. Law students often say "but nobody told me the job market for JD's was oversaturated and I wouldn't be able to find a job." Really? So if you go to law school in a state with 11 law schools cranking about 1,200 new JD's every year, you didn't think there was a problem with that? Do you honestly believe Florida needs ELEVEN LAW SCHOOLS? Or that PA need TEN LAW SCHOOLS? What, exactly do you not understand about The Law School Scam?

I was wondering what should I focus on studying (anything you'd suggest I can start looking over now) I so badly want to be prepared for this. Would you suggest possibly becoming a paralegal before becoming a lawyer for experience? Also for the bar exam how hard truly was it? Can you explain more to me how you can start working for firms to get experiences, could you start when youre already in college studying social sciences. Also when you mentioned financial issues since I have literally no family to helpe with money issues, im quite literally going to be on my own unless I could get loans or scholarships. So how would you suggest I create my plan to pay off students loans? Im sorry for this lengthy comment, just trying my best to prepare.

Do you get paid during your internships?

[@TheAspiringBoss]

Depends on the internships but in my experience, for law firm internships, you usually get paid. For judicial internships, it’s less likely.

What does the final exam consist of? I've watched several videos similar to yours where they explain about grading on a curve and that the final exam determines the grade of the course, but no one ever elaborates on what the final exam consist of. Will you please explain or give an example?

[@TheAspiringBoss]

It will be either multiple choice, a long essay or a short series of essays. In your first year of law school they are more likely to be essay form where you have to spot issues and answer a question or multiple questions. You can probably find an example of law school essay question by googling “law school fact pattern example”. Hope that helps!

If you haven't seen it, check out the 1973 film " The Paper Chase." A bit dated, but very accurate portrayal of 1st year at Harvard Law.

This was great, I've been considering going to law school for about a year now every since doing a paralegal program. I also minored in law for undergrad, so I've kind of always had interest in law. I can't wrap my head or heart around the tuition though. To be honest that is the #1 thing holding me back. I'm in a masters program now that finishes next year, so I'll start studying for the LSAT next year and attempt to enroll for 2023. Hopefully my LSAT score will be good and I can attract some scholarships or even a full ride. This video was great though! I'm trying to mentally prepare myself, so hearing experiences is great!

[@TheAspiringBoss]

Come back and tell me when you get that amazing score and get into that school!!! I love to see it

[@mikefromco]

Hey Clarice are you still going in fall ‘23? Have you taken your lsat yet?

[@rachael4408]

Hi Clarice! Checking in to see how your law school journey is going!!! You got this!

[@andrerobinson2923]

Did you eventually go to law school? I too, completed a Paralegal Certification Program. I've been visiting law schools in the Illinois area and Wisconsin. I've looked at Michigan as well?

[@carlosbasurto5564]

Grading on a curve is a hella ambition booster. I work in sales and that pumped me tf up lol you scared me when you mentioned that you couldn’t study a night before the test and still get an A 😨I’m not organized like that lol
