Y'all—

Some of us here are about to "graduate" to law school. Various members of our community (myself, @allison.gill.sanford , @alexandergreene93 ) have been discussing plans for a pre-law-school/0L study group.

The content will:

[Reading] basically be a copy/paste of @"Nilesh S"'s advice (Short and Happy Guides for Torts and Contracts, Glannon's Civ Pro Examples & Explanations).

[Meeting] Sessions to discuss concepts and practice issue spotting (using hypos gathered from various sources).

[Project] Practice exams exchanged/discussed by the group.

I think starting in mid May would be ideal. That would give us about 3 months to work on this before we're all likely to head into orientation week (ours is the very last week of August).

Interest? Ideas? Mostly we're looking to learn some black letter material and build our chops a bit before we head into the storm.

    @kennedybj959 I think it is tonight. The email says Hong Kong time which would be tonight at 8 since they're 12 hrs ahead of us

    @kennedybj959

    @jhaldy10325

    I agree. Can we get some clarification?

    Invites may be received in different time zones than mine (Central) due to your Google Calendar settings. A quick Googling of "what time is X GMT in Eastern time" would resolve this for you.

    We're having an organizational meeting on May 10th—we'll have a group discussion as to what we want to do then, days and times, etc! Right now it's looking like either Monday/Tuesday and Saturday but again, we will discuss to see what we want to do etc.

    Ordered the Torts and Contracts books off amazon. Luckily I already had the Civ Pro book.

    Looking forward to next Tuesday.

    @nielsinha488 I would also recommend using the audio outlines from audiooutlines.com - they are free and if you listen to them and transcribe them out, you will have a good foundation of law to build from. All the best.

    Amazing! I had never heard of this site.

    Sweetness!

    Unfortunately we won't be doing any Canadian content. I know exactly nothing about Canadian schools or curriculum. While there will be some overlap as both countries are common law-oriented, once we get out of common law matters (like into UCC stuff for Contracts), I'm afraid I can't speak to how useful that would be for Canadians. Perhaps you guys can start your own group? Per LSAT Island's offer below:

    @torahisland910 If, however, there is interest for a more theoretical approach, esp. with a Canadian-orientation, I'd be happy to contribute in structuring and developing group study.

    This isn't an official 7sage thing, just a bunch of (s)nerds(/s)enthusiasts getting together.

    I'll set up a Google form for you interested folks to fill out :D
