Five Law School Don'ts 

1. Don’t give into imposter syndrome 2. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice 3. Don’t forget your ideals 4. Don’t blindly accept the system of law as you learn it 5. Don’t go to law school if you don’t think it’s right for you Don’t mind me, didn’t have my notebook or pen

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

When I was in law school, what I noticed was that the students who spoke like lawyers weren't necessarily the ones that got high grades at the end of the semester. The ones that got high grades were the ones that knew how to take the law they learned and apply it to a set of facts in a fact-pattern. So, to make a long story short, the quiet person in the back of the class might get a higher grade in the course than someone who is outspoken and sounds like lawyer.

1) Don't give in an imposter syndrome 3) Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice 3) Don't forget about your ideals 4) Don't blindly accept the system of law as you learn it 5) Don't go to law school for the sake of it. Her voice is soo reassuring. Thanks for this and I love you alot😍😍

probably the best law school video i've seen! tips 3 and 4 hit a lot close to home.

I was the first in my entire family including cousins etc to finish year 10 let alone year 12. When I got accepted into a prestigious university for nursing I was sure they had me confused with someone else so much so that I rang the admissions to say they had sent it to the wrong person. 3 years of blood, sleepless nights and more tears than I could physically cry, I graduated. The first few years I went to work with the "Registered Nurse" badge and scrubs I felt like an impostor...like I didn't belong and it was only a matter of time before everyone figured it out that I was in the wrong place. Took me 10 years to let go of that feeling...

So glad to see your videos again in my subscriptions! Thanks for your insight and hope that this quarter goes great for both of us!

I’ve been following your channel for awhile now, thanks for keeping it real and good luck with your 3L year❣️

The first minutes already lifted such a huge weight off my back omg. Thank you so much

Thank you so much for this ! I'm a law student in South Africa and I find your channel to be truly helpful 🌻

Being a lawyer, for some reason has always been my dream since I was young, but your fifth advice really hit me hard and now I really need to think more about it. Thank you for this video!

I am glad that you posting video relate to Law school again. Thank you.

As an incoming freshman to college and pre-law school, you are the most helpful person I’ve found to get information from. It sounds like we’re very similar in terms of personality and such. Thank you so much for these videos! So helpful!

I’m a 1 L and this video was super helpful! These are more real, practical tips rather than the simplistic snd unhelpful “Ask your professors questions when you don’t know the answer.” Obviously. And your hair looks so good btw. Super excited for you to be a 3 L and almost at the end of your law school journey!

Thinking of going to law school and your videos are so helpful! Thank you for these and have a lovely day ☺️

This video came at the perfect time; the advice I needed at the exact time I needed it. Thank you for your perspective, insight, and openness!

One of the best videos ever! Love the content -- keep making it!

Really beautifully put. Thank you so much.

Thanks for this, it's literally informative😘 can't wait to start my law school next month, hope I can adopt eventually.

Great Insight! Much skill and productivity to you in your last year! You will finish stronger than ever!

I'll be applying to law school in the winter! A bunch of your videos came up and they've been helpful and reassuring. Thanks for making this content!

Thank you so much for this honest advice and thoughtful video!!!!!

Hi Esther! Excellent video! I just started as a 1L at SLS (maybe we'll run into each other at some point during the school year!), and I can already see a lot of the wisdom in your advice lol

Thank you for your video, I appreciate it a lot as a 1L!

Thanks for the informative infos. This will serve as my guide plan entering law school.

This is a really great video! Good luck with your studies!

Great video with sound advice. Best of luck in your 3L year. Professor G.

Thank you. This has been so helpful

Thank you so much for the 3rd advice. It is very easy to feel oppressed by the "clichés" people have about the reasons a person wants to be a lawyer, and to forget why you made this choice in the first place.

As someone who is currently in the thick of 1L (currently on my 4th week), this couldn’t have come at a better time. As always, thank you for your insightful words, Esther. I hope you have a great 3L. 💕 If you don’t mind sharing, how was your job this past summer? I would like to hear your experience.

Great video! Tip 1 hit home, because I really felt like I never belonged in law school when I first started here. Now, I feel like this is home. Never had a name for it, but impostor syndrome is the perfect name for that!

I swear that I was not looking for your channel- but I found it!

1L from Canada here... this is exactly what I needed.... thank you!

Your beautiful first of all and brains and your points are quite helping me ...thank you

Well spoken + good advice!

Noted! Hoping to be a successful lawyer someday. 💜

I am in my last semester of 3L year so from my experience these are great advice...now I am looking forward to the February bar exam in DC!

GW law 1L here, thank you so much for this! I am currently drowning and appreciate your duck analogy! Keep up the great videos (:

I really loved the way you organised those points so neatly that made our life a bit easier (for me at least) but the last point is something which people like me are not ready to hear. I will be going to a law school this year and the last point made me question myself if I really want this because this has been my biggest doubt from day one.

hi...i am new to this channel and its been really helpful, am glad because its helped reduce the pressure i feel about joining law school

Love this video, thank you!

It’s really helpful, and I love your videos! I have watched two of your Videos for three times, and i learnt a lot. I am a 1L JD student, and I feel that I am a imposter everyday. Having seen you to invest lots of your time to the study and you get decent grades, I am so admiring. I want to watch more of your videos, and maybe you can say something about how to fight with the bad feelings in law school? And I want to hear more class strategies like how to read class materials efficiently and what’s the focus and exam strategies like how to do outline. Meanwhile, it will be rather helpful for how to use other resources efficiently like westlaw. Thank you! Your contents are with high quality!

That was really useful information, thank you for sharing. What advice would you give on how to prepare for the LSAT?

i enjoyed the duck metaphor.

You might not see this, but you just saved my life. Glod bless like you

Am new here and i love that point you made about as lawyer you have the power to shape the legal system❤❤

Hey! Just started my 1L year in Florida and I just wanted to say thank you for your videos! They have been both incredibly insightful and encouraging. Any advice on when I should start looking for internships/externships/clinics?

Great video young lady!! thanku.

Can you talk about your own decision to go to law school?

This really hits me.

Do you have any advice on how we can get insight on the day to day life of a practicing lawyer? I’m considering going to law school starting Fall 2020 in Atlanta.

I’m starting law school in the Fall & this video has some great tips. I’ll be sharing my journey on my channel as well. Just subscribed ❤️

Can you make a why standford video? I love your videos after one I was hooked onto your channel. Thanks for all your great content. Good luck with your last year.

No 5 applicable for every things you study for

Thank you very much! I do belong there.

hi, I‘m a student from China and going to be a law student in a JD program. I just want to say thanks because your video really helps me a lot. Before clicking into your channel I was very nervous about what life could be there and didn't know what to do to prepare for it. And I feel much better now. Thank you really! Best wishes from the other side of the pacific ocean!

You are sharp and your intellect is attractive. Thank you for your video!

this question is a bit off track from Don'ts of Law School, so my apologies! i was wondering, what discipline of law has piqued your interest the most? which were easiest or most interesting to you? i'm considering international law or family law right now, but i'm still figuring everything out while i apply to a few schools. Thanks! xo

Great tips

Thank you.

Good luck on It's as well

Thank you for your videos. What do you think about doing an LL.M. for someone with a law degree from a foreign country in opposed to going through the normal route of going to law school to get a J.D. More specifically if you get the chances to take the bar exam once you get your LL.M degree (this only applies to Texas and NY city currently)

Have you thought about what law you want to practice ?

What area of law did you choose to pursue immediately after law school and does it match what you want to be doing in the long term?

Thank you

not related to law school, you somehow remind me of Jisoo from Blackpink

Love your videos! I'm currently a sophomore in highschool considering a career in law. Do you recommend anything I could do now that would help better prepare me for law school?

thanks for this nice video. im a high school graduate and i really dont know whether this career is good for me or not. can you please name some of the text books you studied so that i can read some pages of them.

I'm struggling to find careers pertaining to social justice/social issues that are obtained via law school - does this mean another type of education should be sought instead? I'm encountering a lot of videos pertaining to working at firms - would like to hear what folks advise!

Should also mention about mental health

The intro to #5 cracked me up! lol

Thank you babe for all the truth

My University it's long distance learning, I try to study on my own because not all the modules have classes. It's a hard one, hopefully God helps me to make it🙇‍♀️ Thank you❤.

Hi you have some amazing videos, this video made me a bit emotional because I’m wrapping up my bachelors preparing for the LSAT with kids, husband, and the military and it’s extremely overwhelming and sometimes I completely doubt my self. Like you, I am as well a first generation of getting this far in a professional career and I feel like I have a lot to prove not only to family and friends but my self 🥺 do you have Instagram I would love to follow you. Again thanks for the words of encouragement!

Hi! I'm so worried about law school. One of my worries is that I am not a good writer.

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

What subjects did you choose in grade nine

So I’m in undergrad as an Econ major, what are some ways to learn more about law school/law in general in preparation for the LSAT when I do take it?

Be Haappyyy!!! Happy Marriage!!!!

I need to find money or loans for law school! HELP!!!

Can you perhaps talk about what does it mean to go into $200k or more in debt? I really don't understand how does that work and perhaps is it possible to work when you're in law school?

Greetings from Colombia, I am struggling with this decision, also I like government and international relations, I do not know what to do

Do you have any advice for high school students who want to go to law school???

It’s amazing for Asian students to learn English and law school stuff while watching your channel at the same time.

I’m am going to join marines and going law sametime

Don't Go (yes, I'm a bit bitter)

I know people is always telling you you look like Jisoo but I think your certainly look more like Ailee

Just one thing I disagree here about being a lawyer. Not all lawyers need to be crazy about details. If you work with contracts which is boring for me, then, yes. If you are a litigator, then other qualities are important. Not everyone can has this catch of the court processes which are stressful and mind- and energy consuming. They require fast thinking, making decisions, a certain character, charisma, psychology in combination with legal knowledge and ability to speak. Simply all mentioned is a combination of a talent.

What my friends would say, At the end of the day whether you're an A student or a C student, once you graduate law school, you're both lawyers.

I am there's

What advice would you give someone who wants to take the GRE for law school.

Are u already a lawyer? Thanks for the response.

1) Don't fuckin' go!

In your opinion, is there truth to discrimination against immigrants going into law school?

If Stanford Law assigns mentors, then they are a great school. I wish the school I went to did that. They operated like a frat party and it was every man for himself. Needless to say it was toxic and not helpful.

Samoa

What do u mean by 3L I’m 15 srry😅

Am new here and i love that point you made about as lawyer you have the power to shape the legal system❤❤
