[@Powerule23]

If this video proves one thing - outline, outline, outline (don't wait until the end of the semester - do it for every class each weekend, it will make your life easier during exams once you get through the minimum requirements. By then, you'll have the "system" mastered and you can breathe).

[@PCDisciple]

+Powerule Maybe for the first semester. Otherwise, get a good outline at the beginning of the semester and study it every week while following along in class. By the time you get to the end of the semester you'll be golden.

[@Powerule23]

***** To each their own; I preferred creating my own outlines. The only shortcut that I used was commercial briefs after I read cases.

The reason she is speaking so fast is because she's showing how people (mostly professors) speak in law school. The books are how much stuff you'll eventually have to read from cover to cover and carry to and from class every day and the writing... well you have to write fast while listening to your professor speak at lightning speed.

[@Powerule23]

+Joel Garcia Not to mention the hand cramps you experience with 15 minutes to go while writing a blue book exam.

[@ohwow4377]

I'm not in grad/law school yet but it's crazy!

[@Powerule23]

Joel Garcia Well, if you choose to attend law school, the hard part is understanding what's taking place. You're not told how to do anything - you have to figure things out on your own and the day will come, usually in the second semester of your first year when bells and whistles will signal in your brain, and you're finally beginning to think like a lawyer. Once that occurs, things begin to make sense. Yes, law school is crazy, and it goes by very quick because you're constantly trying to apply your brakes.

[@ohwow4377]

Powerule Thanks for the advice! :) I guess I'm gonna have to start reading a lot too! lol

[@raquelvivianaa]

[@Mr101spb]

@@CoolPudding7048 I recommend going for it! It’s normal to feel scared at first. One thing that I’d recommend to ensure you have amazing notes is to record the entire lecture. You don’t need to replay the whole thing, it’s more so when you’re taking down really important notes and your teacher is talking too fast. You won’t miss anything. Especially important when the lecturer is giving case summary’s (which can lead to a bad habit of not reading the entire case but still). Good luck 😊

[@mellonlemon3819]

[@Kayraine]

This was awesome. If you are thinking of law school... welcome. Disclaimer: Panic is optional. Remember study and brief a bit, use online sources - but still read so you don't sound like you're stupid in case the internet got it wrong. More importantly do the freaking practicals. All libraries have them, check one out. Most of the exam is not a case you'll need to brief, it's crazy practicals that you must find the answers within... if any exist, hence the question: what is the issue and what is the likely remedy? The hardest part of law school is getting in. If you can make it in then you can make it through. You're awesome - now continue with your search of law school videos on KZbin.

[@Powerule23]

+Kaylia Ervin Excellent point, particularly for blacks from black public school communities - the hardest part is getting into law school. Once you're there, the hard part is over and all that is required is hard work that gets easier once you adapt to teaching yourself everything; understanding that you go to class to answer questions, not to ask them.

low key, you just made another human being (myself) legitimately despise you (the creator/poster of this video) for the unhelpful speed and unnecessary use of jargon and colloquial commentary included in this vid. I strongly perceive this video as more of catharsis of the creator/poster's ego rather than an honest effort to educate/inform youtube users of "what law school is like". Although I feel as though watching this video was a disservice to myself and my time, I am going to make a positive recommendation for you (creator/poster) ; channel your very evident intellect and profound understanding of "what law school is like" into a more effective informative experience rather than a display of your personality. Quite frankly your video left me pissed off.

[@mssassy1285]

Could you slow down with the use of syllables/same word and pick/choose/decide on one word. That shouldn't be too difficult, right? Thank you

[@PCDisciple]

This is quite funny and even a bit meta. Noice. DO NOT BRIEF. It's a waste of time past the first month. You don't even have to make your own outline past the first semester. Find someone else's at the START of the semester and make sure it's comprehensive. You'll study this along with reading for class, the outline basically does the synthesis for you. You can even read ahead. If you want to learn to "think like a lawyer", maybe don't do this in the first semester so you can work it out yourself. Law school is much less intimidating when you put a bit less pressure on yourself.

[@isaiahmontoya3665]

I like how she’s a hinge anarchist that follows Chomsky.

[@nsalaza]

Although I found her presentation style very pompous and annoying at law school I did learn to take notes incredibly rapidly and absorb huge amounts of information in short time frames. Therefore there is something in what she says. You need to be a very rapid learner and super organised...hard work is mandatory unless you are a genius and or have a photographic memory. Good luck. P.S. a law degree leads to an amazing array of possible careers and is useful every day as most activities have legal ramifications. I am never bothered by the police, negotiate all types of contracts to my advantage and generally have the edge over most people in arguments and discussions. I also have a master's in philosophy and just by the way found law to be much less challenging intellectually.....all that you need is to work extremely hard, have a good memory and decent analytical skills. In philosophy you actually have to be bright and capable of complex analytical and abstract analysis.

What is law school like? Imagine busting your butt for three years while taking on $150,000 of non-dischargeable (in bankruptcy) sudent loan debt only to discover that you won't find a job in the legal field after you graduate! In the U.S. the law schools are pumping out about 45,000 new graduates every year and there are only about 15,000 legitimate entry-level law jobs for them, and this has been a problem for decades. In fact, our nation has about 1 JD for every 215 people.

She is correct, if you are in your 20' s with no experience. However if you are in the 1st category she mentioned. That being someone who has 1-10 year (likely more) years experience. A lot of those people of those people go back to school to become senior management in what they are doing not because they don't like it. Also, the more experience you have in life the easier it becomes to "spot problems" and those "improbable situations" might actually have been experienced. In summer, law school is a lot less stressful the more life experience you have.

[@ken96554]

First, there is likely no legitimate reason to set an arbitrary limit of 5 min. In so doing you have sacrificed conveyance of your ideas to show that you can talk fast; while impressive, this is not why we selected your post. Second, even if you were to slow down your speech, your use of language and sentence structure is mere jargon, peculiar to a group either in or already completed law school, unrepresentative of your audience - folks curious about law school. The purpose of communication is to convey ideas to your audience - and you have shown no purpose to that end. So if this post is not for us, then it must be for you. Thanks for hijacking legitimate concerns to grab attention for yourself. While probably not entirely your fault, people like you make me sad about the trajectory of our youth.
