5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting Law School 

1:42 introduction 3:41 visit/research the area you’re planning on living before moving 6:51 law school is really hard! don’t plan major life events during law school 10:54 law school can be isolating. invest time and effort into relationships! 13:08 law school doesn’t teach you how to practice law - only a base level knowledge of many law subjects (law school doesn’t teach to the bar) 14:53 in order to be successful in law school, you don’t have to do all of the ECs that everyone else does (law journal, moot court, etc.)

Law school is very intense in all respects. And competitive. And so many arrogant, self important classmates who can't get over themselves because they are LAW STUDENTS. Tune them out. imptessed with

I have been in the mortgage servicing field for close to a decade, and I can attest that when I train people, I explain that the training process is difficult and long because you can only learn how to handle what comes up as an issue on the job and that "you don't know what you don't know until you don't know it." Looking to go to law school in Fall 2024 so I'm glad I found your channel! :)

THIS was so incredibly helpful! I've watched so many videos like these and I think this was the first one that truly went into detail so I'm grateful!! And I love how transparent you were!

Your advice is so helpful! I've been considering law school for a few years and collecting tips/feedback from law students & attorneys on the do's and don'ts of law school 😊

I would say one thing I’ve realized is that we’re all just figuring it out the best we can! Everyone who went ahead of you had someone show them the ropes, just like you will have someone show you the ropes, and hopefully now you will show someone else how it goes!

Question! I have a 6 months old baby girl and my dream is to become a lawyer, her father is a paramedic with weird 12-hour shifts, some being day shifts and some being night shifts with 4 days working and 4 days off. I am hoping to go to law school in about 4 years after doing my undergraduate. By then, she will be about 5 years old. With point #2 when you said to try (if you can) to not have major life events happening at least in your first year of law school, do you know anyone who's gone to law school and managed to succeed with trying to go to law school as well as raise a child? That is the thing that stresses me out the most.

Definitely check out the physical location of the school. I declined to attend a small law school located in a rural hamlet where there was nothing to do besides studying. I am from a major city and knew I could never live in a rural environment.

You’re not dumb you’re resourceful thanks for the video and hope all is well with your law career.

You remind me of the actress from legally blonde

Why do you even need to go to law school if it doesn’t help you be a lawyer?🤷‍♀️

Your video (advice) is very helpful. Thank you for this 🥹. I'll start law school on March 23rd, wish me luck thoo 😭😭

Hi MacKenzie, I'm really loving your channel. Your content has been really inspiring as a 0L here! I can't wait to see your video on outlines!

Thanks for sharing on a topic that deserves more attention. Good luck in the future.

I failed 3 times, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I've not lost hope

you're my elle woods

Let me know if anyone has questions about University of Miami law school!!

Thank you for all of these..I'll be starting my first year in law school in the next month..im so excited!!

Great video. So glad you know you want to be a litigator. As a career paralegal who has polled jurors after a verdict, I've learned that likeability matters. You have the communication skills necessary to make key points, and you have a natural, relaxed way of speaking. And whether people want to believe it or not, beauty helps. You have a great career ahead of you. Good luck with your next chapter!

makeup routine? your skin is flawless!
