Introduction to Law School for First-Year Students

[@attorneysteve]

Undergrad teaches you how to memorize and regurgitate. Law school teaches you how to think, analyze and resolve problems. You will forever see the world differently, and let me say, I loved every single minute of it.

[@flyfish2562]

@@ariannabrown787 Don’t be delusional. If someone has left law school and is literally trying to pass the bar 10 flipping years later, the outlook doesn’t look good. Would you have preferred that I blow smoke up this persons arse and say… “No worries, your bound to ACE this! Ten years later?!!!” Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds??? The truth is that for law students who leave law school right after and go take the bar it is extremely difficult!!! Let alone for someone who has been out of school and has forgot everything they learned in the first two years of law school like, torts, contracts, constitutional law?!!! Now, if you want to tutor this young person… by all means. But don’t be stupid and tell me that I’m being negative, by giving them a dose of reality. Truth is if they reallllllly wanted to be a lawyer, they would have passed it within years of finishing law school, not ten years after leaving, losing all brain cells, and thinking it would be and easy thing to pass. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Just_Call_Me_Tim]

I've wanted to go into law since I was a kid. Early college was borderline disastrous, and then I enlisted on a "legal/admin option", but the USMC was phasing out their involvement in JAG. Afterward I'd left active duty I should have remembered my dream, but was dealing with reintegration into non-military society. All that to say, I have some classes I want to redo from my early years of my degree (only 4 or 5), and then I'm going for law school like I've wanted. This "socratic method" structure of things was implemented by a professor or two of mine, with the exception of only calling someone specifically unless no one volunteered. Those were my best classes, hands down. That's my style of learning. I hate lectures mainly because I can't tell, sometimes, what's important to the professor, versus what I think is important. But this makes me wish I lived anywhere near VA, just for this school.

[@MeloFloww]

Did you go?

[@MajorBall]

You like the idea of being picked on? Ok then

[@johndwyer818]

This lecturer is a liar. I never cease to be amazed by liars in the legal profession who do not tell their clients/students that all persons are deceased in law. This means they are entities that exist only on paper and are created by the state. So how is a living wo/man ever a dead entity ? Only by trickery and fraud of the legal profession. This is done so they can raid your trust estate. This is why you are told to "represent" your self in court rather than to present yourself.

[@shoelessb4515]

First professor on first day of law school told us "Law and logic have nothing in common". Discouraging but entirely correct. Especially since politicians are mostly lawyers.

When you read cases, you will need to learn "legalese" and read it from the "legal paradigm" that is often "disagreeable" to the normal people who do not understand it. the ONLY way to "interpret" legal decisions is with a "legal paradigm" in "legalese."

[@maozedong1913]

The things I took to heart was the advice given during the Q&A. [1] focus on your stress level [2] understand when you're most productive Everyone has heard the saying that we should treat law school like a job but seldom does anyone truly follow that saying. Most will still study an abnormal amount of hours and neglect basic sleep, nutrition, and a social life. To put it into perspective, if you were at work and one of your coworkers told you all he did everyday was pull all nighters, had no social life, and ate nothing but Doritos, you would be very disappointed in him. In the short run, they can get a solid [A] on the midterm but by the end of the year, if they're lucky to last that long, the amount of stress that'll pile up could result in worse grades, burnout, and even worse, you could end up dropping out completely because you hate the law school life style that you created for yourself that you mistakenly attributed to law school as a whole. Everyone is guilty of saying [ I studied 8 hours today] but realistically, we studied for 2 hours, surfed the web, and came back intermittently to our work, which by the end of the day, we probably studied 3 hours. Those 5 hours could have been used to take a nap or go for a walk, could have extended the study time for an extra 3 hours if utilized correctly.

I've been considering going into Law School once I can go to college. I think its something I would excel in. Though I am also considering more creative paths like writing, where there would be less pressure and it would cost less money.

Remember the ones who know only know because someone trained them (most likely not their parents) or they got jammed up in a violate your rights type of jam. PS you seem like a sov cit.

[@michaelwilliams6431]

@Guy Dunning Jr. I'm not here to rebuttal you just questions, I Accept for Value everything you said Guy Dunning Jr. question(s); If one is a king without subjects would he be sovereign still? (yes) If one is a king wouldn't he be a citizen of his own kingdom? (yes) It may be an oxymoron but they exist lawfully too. As a matter of fact aren't we all American citizens? (Yes) Though some of us have duel citizenship in the United States too. Those of us without duel citizenship, just American aren't they naturally born sovereign? (yes) So if you answer that you'll get the term sovereign citizen that has been coined a terrorist group to the u.s. government corporation by the u.s. government corporation, for the purposes of deterring American people from the truth about the 2 United States on this land mass. Life is an oxymoron bro. But I know why you said it. I Am honestly not disagreeing with you, I Am trying to let you see what you look like to those who don't know and those who do. One of those sov cit, type lol. Let me ask you a question, You asked why is my name "fraudulently" all capitals. My answer is how does one interface with government? They give us an artificial person or corporation(s) at birth. Same name all caps. You actually get 2 one your parents made and gave away, then they went and got a "number" thinking it was for the 1st all caps estate but it is actually a whole separate corporation, same name also all caps. The first was the interface Corp in general so to speak, the second was the steal your rights for privileges and become my property Corp so to speak. Truthfully if they used right you keep all your Rights and get some benefits too. Why do American sovereigns have duel citizenship, or are (in possession of) 2 different titles of disenfranchisement and give up their sovereignty for privileges? Lack of knowledge destroys people and puts them into slavery. Yes the United States only has employees who are corporations with privileges and not Rights, and they are owned by the United States but it's not they fault we don't know the law, they are a corporation they are in the business of profit, also you don't have to exchange your rights for their benefits. People choose to and it really is not the job of the government to teach us the truth, their job is to protect the United eState(s) of Americans. Maybe not giving full disclosure is fraudulent lol. And last Why does the government let them Give up their rights unknowingly? Who is a public servant to tell a sovereign what to do... Nothing at all, and how would the person claiming to be sovereign prove themselves? By knowing how his kingdom operates, this really is the root of the problem it seems like you trying to awaken these people to, they don't know how their kingdom works and are mad cause the servants choose not to tell them and so they call it fraud. Then when people in their corporate capacity tries to interface with the government and do it like an "enemy of the State" would then why should they believe you're (still) sovereign? Answering your questions nope I wasn't content so I learned the truth. Now I know, why it is this way and how to operate in and out these corporations. I ain't defending them but the evil is not them and their operations as much as it's ours. Because we don't study the truth and take people at their word as long as they look professional etc., we could easily stop all the lies if everyone took responsibility for THEIR government as it was and remains our creation. Peace king, hope you perceive what I Am conveying to you. PS. Don't look at the government all negatively like maybe they ain't doing any thing wrong lol.

Thank you , very helpful for journalists covering the courts - we have to think like lawyers, hoping lawyers will think a little more like journalists, helps improve the storytelling.

The holding of a case includes the underlying principle or line of reasoning.

[@ekt3233]

I would argue in defense of Zehmer that there were two contracts drafted, the reason for the second being that the first was invalid. The first was invalid because the wife did not explicitly agree to and sign the contract. If the wife was misled into signing a contract which was factually misrepresented to her, is the second contract not just as invalid as the first?

Doing law in the UK and I wish they did the Socratic method. All law is studied in a 3 year undergrad degree with a legal practice course that is one year. I already have an undergrad degree from an American University so I have done what is called a conversion course that is essentially the three years in one for postgrad and that the practice course. I so wish I had attended law school in the states. It appears to be so much more complete and the students have a few more life skills having done an undergrad first.

[@taylorthomas296]

Undergrad in C.J., law school bound. Let’s talk about this: Law school is not designed for us lower income individuals. I come from a family that made under $50k a year. My father couldn’t afford to put me through undergrad so I had to choose a public 2-year college that offered a four year degree that my Pell grant would cover in full. I am also living independently and working full time, 35-40 hours a week. What am I to do when I get to law school and I am restricted to only being able to work no more than 25 hours a week (Georgia State Col. of Law rule)? How am I going to pay my bills while paying back my $75k student loan? Henceforth why I chose GA State, because their law degree is only $17k a semester. Hypothetically, there is no way for me to do this since I’m working full time now and can hardly make ends meet. Once we combine that with a near 50% hour reduction, there would be no way.

"If I let myself do anything other than get up and start reading, I will find a way to waste two hours of time." Came here to learn law, but learned more about myself in the process.

[@bigblocklawyer]

Yeah. In case any young lawyers are watching this, you will learn to "think" like a lawyer in law school. But law school does nothing to prepare you to practice. You get a fair understanding of the law studying for the bar exam. Where the magic happens is when you get your first legal job. The first morning of the first day as a prosecutor, my trial partner showed me a box full of files and said, "You have a dui trial at 9." It was then I realized how little law school prepared me to practice law. Like so many clubs, law school is just a three year hazing.

[@jonesyokc]

I have a question and wondered if someone could answer it. Which article in our constitution allows courts to basically create law through previous rulings. It seems those actions would infringe on the duties of the legislative branch of our government. Thanks in advance.

[@dibbi3237]

The vast majority of the comments of this video are either: conspiracy theorists hating the law and government, people who cant afford this school calling it a ripoff and maybe one or two interesting comments talking about opinions on the mentioned case in the lecture.

[@StephenDoty84]

From another introduction to law school online: "The essence of legal thinking goes largely unmentioned in law school. Professors typically stay on safe ground, avoid theory, and talk about the nuts and bolts of each case. But the main faculty of mind in thinking-like-a-lawyer is the ability to see some concrete facts behind a given rule and then the rule in a different set of concrete facts. As we saw in J’Aire, the rule regarding negligent interference with prospective economic advantage requires imagination to go from its categorical (material) facts to a concrete situation in which it applies, and imagination to go the other direction. That’s why the restaurant owner initially missed the significance of the case of the negligent notary. It’s hard to see how the six, general factors that determine a relationship between one person and another, sufficient for a legal duty in tort, in Biakanja, also fit the example of renovating a restaurant. If people don’t see through two-dimensional rules to the third dimension of reality beyond it, when studying law, how can they later see the rule in the facts of life? Students are often puzzled by the facts in an essay question, unsure which rules apply. Imagine what the restaurant owner’s lawyer in J’Aire may have thought to himself: I’m not looking simply at a restaurant owner here,[90] but at her role as a tenant and a third-party beneficiary of a contract between her landlord, the county, and a contractor, Gregory. And the very nature of the contractor’s activity seems to create a duty at law, in tort, because it’s obvious that if his work is done badly, the restaurant owner will suffer a financial loss, just as the sister did in Biakanja when the notary botched her brother’s simple will, knowing damn well her future fortune depended on him making a will that would stick. The process is called “issue-spotting” in law school, but it remains mysterious to some students. It is essentially seeing a rule’s categories amid specific instances of them. By analogy, in math, students don’t stare blankly at a 3-4-5 triangle, but know it has a right angle, illustrates the Pythagorean Theorem, etc. Taking practice tests in law school will sharpen your ability to see legal rules in the facts of everyday life,[91] which is necessary to get A’s on tests. Footnote #90: One common pitfall in legal research to avoid is thinking a concrete fact, such as a butter churn, is unique and serves as a legal category, when it doesn’t, so you miss the applicable general rule, such as the law of bailments, which probably applied in this anecdote by Holmes: “There is a story of a Vermont justice of the peace before whom a suit was brought by one farmer against another for breaking a churn. The justice took time to consider, and then said that he has looked through the statutes and could find nothing about churns, and gave judgment for the defendant.“ Holmes, “Path of the Law,” 16, in link: moglen.law.columbia.edu/LCS/palaw.pdf. If you ever get stuck during legal research, ask yourself, “Is this a churn problem? Am I dwelling on specific facts and missing the broader legal categories?” Footnote #91: Why was Brandeis so focused on the facts? He said, “No law, written or unwritten, can be understood without a full knowledge of the facts out of which it arises, and to which it is to be applied.” Louis Brandeis, The Living Law, 10 Illinois Law Review 461, at 467 (1915-6). Maybe that’s one reason he did so well in law school. Llewellyn’s digest is the road to B’s or C’s. The essay questions will trip you up. Imagine if you were given this essay question after reading the cases above: A high-school chemistry teacher is desperate for money and makes some meth in his basement. One night at home, he and his wife discuss a get-rich-quick scheme. She will sell the drugs that he makes while she tends bar on the weekends. After engaging in their business for several weeks, one night she sells to an undercover cop, gets arrested, and charged with drug dealing. When questioned, she says her husband was the criminal mastermind, and she will gladly testify to that to get immunity. When he is tried for conspiracy to sell drugs, what objection might his lawyer make to his wife’s voluntary testimony against him? How would the judge likely rule, and why? Please write out an answer before reading further… This is a typical exam question in law school, because it has a twist. You are led down the primrose path of Trammel and are invited to explain how the drug-making husband can’t escape justice so easily, that the rationale for the marital privilege is weak, and the demands of truth and justice are strong, such that the Supreme Court vested the privilege in the witness-spouse alone, so her “voluntary testimony,” as the facts say, should be admitted over her husband’s objection. But notice this hypothetical concerns one-on-one, confidential marital communication, pillow talk, which is privileged according to Blau vs. US, as stated explicitly in Trammel. So, the material facts are controlled by Blau and not by Trammel. So, the wife’s testimony should be excluded by the judge as inadmissible. This shows how tricky law-school exams can be. They often hinge on one missing material fact. The key to not being fooled was to picture other people in the room when you read about non-confidential, marital communications in Trammel, and to imagine one-on-one pillow talk as confidential and still privileged. As you read cases, statutes, rules of civil procedure, and rules of evidence, it’s good to imagine how you might use that particular law on behalf of a client in a hypothetical case. You are trying to go from general rule to concrete instance, easing that pathway in your mind. It will make it easier to do the reverse when a client comes in and tells you all about her case."

I guess "meeting of the minds" really means, as far as could reasonably be determined from outward appearances. Makes sense, for the policy problem of evading a contract by lying about your not meaning it, but important distinction.

I find it very funny that law schools watch Legally Blonde(Which is a fantastic film), and are changing how they treat their students. I'm guessing alot of people were like,"Do law school professors really behave that way to students by making them cry, or kicking them out if they aren't prepared?" Nice to see law schools actually learned something from Legally Blonde. Keep it up, law schools.👍🏼❤

How about the issue of fair market value for the farm and the denying of the $5 to confirm and seal the contract? I think these issues are worth consideration. Suppose the farm was valued at $1M, the signed contract was probably a joke, as in no reasonable person would sell a farm valued at $1M for just $50k. Also, financial health and well-being of the farm owner should also raise concerns. Suppose it is established that Zhemer would go bankrupt if he sold the farm...and this was the primary reason why he refused to sell the farm in past, would this not create substantial motive/evidence that Mr. Zhemer would never sell the farm as proven by the fact that he had consistently rejected Mr. Lucy's offers.
