Does Law School Change You? 

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!!

Truthwillprevail 24 I really like that statement too! I actually heard it from another RU-vidr, Ingrid Nilsen. Very powerful!

My advice for you and others in law school or any graduate program is to work a week ahead. For example, the week before your first week of class is when you do the readings and assignments for the first week. Then the first week of classes your doing work for week two. Then week three you do work that's due in week four. Hope that makes sense. Also, start making an outline EARLY so when it's time for exams your outline is done and all you have to do is study it.

Thanks Sarah thats actually really helpful also what do you mean by outline? what exactly is an outline in terms of law school? sorry if its a silly question its just in undergrad id just go back to my lecture notes/readings notes and study off those just re read and rewrite the most important things

It's ok not silly at all! It's great to ask these questions so you know what Needs to be done. Basically, when you go to your law school class the prof will lecture, go over cases etc. you talk some notes on that. Then you have to take notes from the textbook. After that you combine all those notes into an outline in Microsoft word. At least that's what Most people do. This outline for one class might be 50-60 pages. So when it's time for finals. You just study from that outline instead of the giant textbook or big notebooks with hundreds of notes. Some classes might have the final be open note/book so you can bring your outline with you. Most people do a table of contents so they know where to find what information. Outlines are not just notes you could also reference cases you learned about and what the holding was etc

I know you'll be going to law school in Canada. But here is a sample outline for a criminal law class at NYU. www.law.nyu.edu/sites/default/files/upload_documents/Crim_Barkow_2015.docx Of course laws would differ between Canada and the US. However, It should look a little some thing like this. You find your own style once you start classes. Or you could get a head start like when you work ahead. Itll give you time to learn and adjust without falling behind! :) also, look through Lynnea's videos she did post a video on studying for exams a while back.

thank you sooo much girl! this is so helpful =)

Thank you so much!

No way I just noticed I left this comment 3 years ago haha. I'm in my fourth year of law school now and graduating at the end of the year. What a full-circle moment

Thank you so much!! I'm not sure about other schools, but I believe OttawaU has a JD/MA program and a Canadian and American dual degree program. I don't think there are any programs that combine a BA with a JD, but I could be wrong. Hope that helps!
