Students should definitely start their outlines from day one. Saves lots of time during exam time.

I have been told multiple times by professors that starting too early could be a problem.

When you study law, it depends on you to succeed through whatever it is. No matter how much advice a person can give you… it won’t help. They not gone be there when you have to study or take a exam. That’s why you have to train yourself to be focus on whatever it is you have to do.

Law students counting on you. Write the papers, ask the questions, considering representing after graduation. This issue is very much a women's rights issue, and women mostly impacted. Brain injury disempowers one and often creates docility and apathy. Please be informed. This is used now in dementia and with children with autism for behavioral control. Getting "kicked in the head by a horse through the use of ECT" will make it comfortable for many in outcomes except the patient. Why will health care journalists not address this? We are beginning to attend brain injury support groups at this time. This is a global human rights issue. It is the issue of ECT/electroshock. It is being performed at an alarming rate for many diagnosis outside of severe depression. It is being performed at leading medical institutions to include the large HMO Kaiser Permanente. This procedure nor the device has ever had FDA testing for safety or even effectiveness. The devices in over 80 years have never been required to have pre-market approval before the FDA. These devices deliver up to 450 volts to patients brains and greater. The FDA has had it previously classified as experimental until recently. It was recently declassified to the safety level of syringes and eye glasses. It was reduced in status so more insurers would pay on it. This was declassified with an active law suit in place around devices showing brain injuries. It was declassified STILL without any testing done to prove effectiveness or safety. They do not test because all know full well it is TBI at minimum in outcomes. The California courts have proved brain injuries at a minimum around devices recently. Electrical trauma impacts all systems. Electrical trauma can evolve years out in damages to include CTE, ALS, and cardiac issues etc. We as patients are warned only of temporary memory loss expected to resolve in six week along with the typical anesthesia risks. Material risk of brain damages missing from consents for starters. Consent is fallible. Psychiatric research by their own studies reflect structural brain changes from this procedure, and that is most certainly missing from consent. This involves billions annually in the US alone. Many have a piece of the pie in research studies, products currently at market, or products to come. All knowing full well this is purely trauma for profits at a vulnerable populations expense. All silent in these cover ups to come to light soon. Media will not address secondary to advertising incentives and reputations at stake.This is fraud. This is false claims. This is malpractice. This is criminal. This is discrimination involving a protected population under the ADA deserve testing of this device and procedure that has caused extensive and permanent damages to all it has impacted. Providers know full well what is occurring around this procedure.ALL trauma is based on MECHANISM. You have a known mechanism i.e. electrical you have a known and anticipated outcome in ALL populations to include those with mental health histories. NFL mechanism is blunt force, but our outcomes are very similar. Trauma doctors are your experts and cannot refute this. We are showing damages in testing. Recently a TBI expert has tied ECT to damages to cerebellum, brain stem, and frontal lobes in a patient. We are showing abnormalities on EEG, MRI, and neuro/cognitive testing. This is impacting professionals now. Many are unable to return to their professions after this secondary to damages of TBI verses mental health issues. We have several medical malpractice firms interviewing for suits, but we need many more. We need to be able to access resources in our recovery for rehabilitation. We deserve the same resources all other TBI patients have at their disposal. Some of my peers are committing suicide as a direct result of being denied services or even recognition by providers out of fear of the suits to come if they make notes of references to damages around this. Please see ectjustice now owned by the law firms participating in the national product liability suit. Please have conversations to address this important concern around patient and public safety. This is being also used on our children, Veterans, and women during pregnancy. As a professional, if you have information to contribute to these suits please contact the DK law group or the Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman law group in CA. Providers are criminally failing in their duty to warn, protect, and not cause harm. We need this battery of patients to end.
