Why Most Students Think Law School is Hard (and How to Make it Easier) 

As a law student I can confirm this. Practice tests shape the way your mind retains, also helps you to dissect info and your brain knows what is important and what is not. Truly the best way to study smart.

I’m a first year law student and can confirm!! my first semester I studied completely wrong which made it harder for myself. I didn’t realize the importance of writing until this second semester, and I’m pushing myself more with writing and less worried about cold calls/reading every detail of the readings. It has made a difference in my understanding of applying the laws to analysis

This video is pretty spot on and I'm only halfway through. I just finished law school and its insane how it took me years to realize some of these things. Really wish I had discovered this channel during law school.

I am loving Law School!! Yes it is hard work...but it is really enjoyable. It is nice to be pushed so hard. Makes me do my best.

Thank you for portraying this career not as intimidated as I thought. I am fascinated about how the Law works and the ways it shapes itself. I am currently enrolled to get a AAS Paralegal Studies. I do not feel completely confident to enter this field because the language barrier, but at the same time it makes me work harder to get better and higher grades so I don't get kick out of the program. In addition the extent vocabulary and terminology I am being introduce to, scares me and this makes my learning more challenging. Thank you so much for your advice. you got a subscriber here . xoxo

I really respect the work, effort, and care you've put in these videos and e-book

This is an amazing channel. I love it and I'm in med school! Some of it still applies and the rest is very entertaining.

Lmaooo I’m in high school watching this 😭😭😭😭😭

"You work for entire semesters, studying complex systems of law. And it all comes down to a single test." Lol I'm from China and that was life for us.

He is literally giving hope to people. Thank you.

Thank you for the video!👍This is great.

Awesome advice and guidance! Thank you!

In addition to practice exams, I found that getting your hands on a good outline (e.g., has quotes from the professor regarding his take on the law throughout) early in the semester and then editing it as the semester progresses is much more efficient than making your own, which, of course, allows for more time to take practice exams!

Im still in middle school and I find your that your videos make me think about lawyer and being a lawyer but I enjoy your videos anyhow

Fantastic video, I think more people need to understand that you need to work hard in the RIGHT areas. You’re vids have inspired me to make my own advice for law students videos on my channel, keep up the great content 🙏🏾

Some good general advice applicable in life too.

Okay, that studying method is effective for EVERY subject. Don't just try to read everything and hope you retain it, study backwards and understand the strategy and what you NEED. Don't study hard, study smart. Seriously, it sounds cliche, but it's true; it'll save you a lot of head and heartache.

I'm not even interested in going to law school but these videos have been so interesting!

The thing is I’m really interested in becoming a prosecuter... in Canada I’m not exactly sure how the process works. I want to study and get into Law school but I’m really worried about the financial issues that will come especially since I’d rather not live my life in debt.

I think this is good advice at any level. My grades went up in college once I learned to deconstruct the tests to answer the question "What sorts of stuff does this professor/discipline consider important enough to put on a test?"

You summarized the issues I'm currently facing. I'm studying too much content, and I don't receive any feedback on whether I did it right or not. Thus, I'm left hanging, wondering whether I passed or not. Thank you for sharing tips to deal with the dillema.

Loved this video, I am subscribed sir. Would you please publish more videos on strategies? As meticulous and minute as possible.

Love your videos

Can an introvert who's interested in law but has no social skills and no public speaking skills become a good lawyer ?

your humour is like mine. i’m happy.

I am so happy that I found this channel! :')

Good channel and topics

BROTHER YOU ARE HELPING ME A LOT ...LOVE FROM INDIA

Honestly. I found college much easier then High School... And I found grad school easier then undergrad. Because simply put you enjoy your work more.

Love your channel!!

Well said broo ❤❤❤❤

"If I wanted your opinions, I wouldn't have given you Westlaw access." 😂

As a law school graduate in the UK I'm finding this channel very interesting. I'm attempting to identify the similarities between our experiences and legal systems. I wish our constitution were codified as it would have made my constitutional law classes/paper tests much more straight forward ☺. The old joke here in UK law schools is that we dont have a legal constitution that can be identified. Great channel.

Awesome vid. My best advice so far is to 1. make a weekly schedule and 2. stick to it/stay organized. I could not imagine retaining and applying dense material AND keeping a mental photocopy of what needs to be done and when. Every semester should be a pathway to improving this method.

What’s the difference between a good and a bad law school?

The LegalEagle got the nail on the head. Law school is so different from both undergrad and most other graduate programs. You never know how well you’re doing. You’re always competing with your classmates. And it’s like you’re learning how to do school from scratch.

This very much feels like the saying, “Work smarter, not harder.” I’m hearing the same things when learning physics and math in undergrad.

I’m heading to law school in September. I know many lawyers because I work at a large, corporate law firm - some lawyers say it’s so easy compared to undergrad, others say it’s extremely hard. No idea who to believe.

Which is more than half like you'll just know it will be outstanding

What should I do in highschool if I want to be a lawyer? Is there something that I need to practise so I don't have to be bothered with it once in college? Will my grades affect my time in law school? Is it gonna be stressful? What steps should I take to becoming a lawyer? These question are what me and my friends (we're graduating and we're all taking law) can't seem to get an answer. I ask my mom (which has a friend that is a lawyer) if I can meet the lawyer she was friends with but although he is great at explaining things and giving advice, I can't seem to get an answer for these questions. I hope you can answer us, thank you LegalEagle!

as if now I'm doing pre-law and I'm wondering if I attended law school in your thoughts what would be a good type of lawyer graduating from law school plus do you basically need to know about everything in law or specialize in one category such as criminal or real estate law to focus on that aspect what are your perspectives thank you!

Could someone from UK or US tell me how do the law schools in these countries work? I'm from southern Europe and I'm sensing that our schools' teaching system is a lot more different than yours and it's not only because of the fact that you use case law. In our schools, our exams consist of solving cases similar to the ones in real life. Do your schools not have that kind of exams? And if they don't, what kind of exams do you have?

How wish I knew before law school: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CGSJH2Lhbzg.html

So it's the opposite of engineering where you are working through practice problems everyday. It's difficult but the feedback is constant and the more you do the more you pick up speed as well as accuracy. Then the final is just several lengthy practice problems with a time limit. Having been through engineering school I would find the lack of feedback in law school maddening. Also I'd be looking for any excuse to draw a diagram.

I'm 14 and considering this. I havent hot the first clue about it though. I'm in year 9 so I still have time.

He's my hero

Hi, i'm a law student in brazil, and i'm so inspired by this video, i just wanted to know, is there a difference between lawschool and college in the US?

I currently just graduated high school , for the first two years of HS I new for a fact that I wanted to be a lawyer & I even gotten invited to some mock trials at stanford But due to financial resources I would always decline , upon realize how stressful it is to find a job after investing so much money into law school would actually make me I give up on it & resulted to get school, but upon doing some research I realized that the fact that less then 30 vet school exist in the world become even more stressful , that i ended up in a very tight situation. As a FFA member through High School i knew that i wanted to be in a agriculture field which is why i only applied two 2 schools , 1. berry college-private (#1 pre-vet school in Georgia). 2. ABAC-public (agriculture school ) - for Agribusiness... Knowing the fact that berry college is #1 in pre-vet with a 89% of students being admitted into vet school made it really hard for me on what I actually want . I love animals and agriculture. Lately I’ve been thinking that if I were to transfer to UGA for agribusiness (pre-law) , I could go into law . I know that I may be overly sharing right now , but o still have time to make a decision. I spoke to both admission counselor because I had some personal family problems going on at the time to make a commitment , and both agreed to give me until my birthday (june15) . With all of this being said , could you give a indecisive high school graduate some advice ? Some words of wisdom ? Email: angie.102394@gmail.com

As someone from a time when we didn't even have the Internet, let alone so many video resources, students today have it super-easy on every level.

2:54 - Is it just me, or does that queen already have the king in check then move into a different check? That shouldn't be possible, it means the king was in check at the end of their last turn. I might be wrong, but it looks like the queen is in line with the king, then moves diagonally to take the opposing queen and attack on the diagonal.

We need a video on rules of evidence.

I don't know why I'm watching law school videos when I have no plans to do law

I wish one could pursue law school or medical school soon after high school. Literally, my BS didn’t “prepare” me and was costly. In other words, spend fours getting a degree just to then pursue a degree you actually want. The college system needs reform.

How do you deal with anxiety in law school?

Hey Counsellor, did you ever see that episode of "Paper Chase" where a law student goes to class dressed like a ghost, draped in a bedsheet? A crusty old professor of contract law rips off the sheet, and the student gives an exposition of a complex legal topic.

This guy is the protagonist in every John Grisham novel

I'm horrible at remembering stuff and I don't want to be in the middle of a case like in page 13 it says uhhhh uhhh hold up pause let me go get it

I want to study law but I'm not sure if its too hard, is it as hard as everyone makes it seam? :(

Could not find the free e-book about Crushing Law School finals. Any other link for that?

Enjoy the process - it will make it fun.

i just got invited to attend an event held in Washington DC for a NYLF group for law and CSI (George Mason University), i’m not too social but i am with others i know. I’d like to get into it but then again I’d have to drop my big passion and talent for drawing but I don’t mind ditching that for a good life and future. I’m thinking of taking it seriously, applying for college credit and buying a set of books on leadership. I’m a sixteen year old sophomore female, should I?

Quick question.. is it good to study law material before applying for law school

do you think someone who’s just averagely smart and not super hardworking but can do so when pressured can be a good law student or can survive law school? 😢

can you please list me out type of lawyers because right now i'm so confused as to weather i should become a Criminal defense lawyer or not cause someone told me that Criminal defense lawyer is the hardest of them all...is it true tho?

IMPORTANT QUESTIONNNN!!!! WHAT DID YOU MAJOR ON? I have been doing some research about the major that will prepare me better for the LSAT, if you can help me with that, it would be amazing!

I'm attending law school in Australia, do some of your techniques and skills still relate to my situation.

im graduating early and i cant decide on a career, I'm mostly interested in law and computer science. But I cant decide which one to go with!! please help me.

Still think it’s worth it to attend ? Live in California field is saturated tuition keeps on going up

Can you also do a lecture videos of the topics in law?? I appreciate the advice but it would be great if you could also do some lecture videos.

Well law is open to interpretation but you have to meet the burden in criminal or the preponderance in civil

Lol 100% Stressful but no matter wht happns if law is ur passion it will keep u gng..#storyofmylife😂...though lack of feedback does drive me insane..

Okay , I will perform my best in law school ...but after getting degree , will I get a good job (as an international student ?🤔🤔🤔🤔)

Dude you are awesome

The only thing I'm worried and scared about going into a law school is my social and public speaking skills. I'm more interested in studying law than practicing. I'm ready to give my best on researches and theoretical work but I'm not so sure about my lae practicing skills. My anxiety level increases when I interact with people. Is it possible that I can get a successful law career even with these many inabilities?

I am 17 and i really want to be come a lawyer one day bit am scare every one tell me you are rasting your time

How older you have to be to get in law school?

Is getting into a lower level law school just as good as a mid or top level place?

Thanku sir

I need you help me on it's

Law school essays. :)

I want to go at night, I’m a full time employee and I want to do this for fun / passion. Not for a career. Is that misguided?

Another youtuber, went to Yale, said that your law school matters and if you can't get into a top 14 then your out of luck. Do you agree?

I really wished I was mentally strong a persuaded my parents to send me to college. Instead of slaving at jobs that paid minimum wage

Your face and voice are more attractive than the contents .

I think reading different books ( in addition to text books) will make studying law much easier.

It is not hard it is tough!!

Life is this _ I like this -
