    Omg, current law student here. Don't do too much that will cause you to burn out before you get here. Getting to Maybe is a good choice, but it might not make sense until you're midway into the semester. Take some time off and do something you enjoy!

    Scholarship saves you money while good writing saves you time. So improve your writing, like what @zacharytsmith26826 suggested.

    There's a little paperback very popular with lawyers and law students called "Plain English for Lawyers." I bought it, but still haven't got around to opening it. It's a short guide on how to write effective sentences, with little exercises at the end of each chapter. That could be something to tide you over if you are looking for study materials before law school, and I'm sure it would be very useful for when you begin writing a lot.

    The LWI award states: “Plain English for Lawyers … has become a classic. Perhaps no single work has done more to improve the writing of lawyers and law students and to promote the modern trend toward a clear, plain style of legal writing.”

    “[P]robably the most popular legal text today…” — The New York Times, on an earlier edition

    “[A] survival kit for the profession. It should be on every lawyer's desk.” — New Jersey Lawyer, on an earlier edition

    Aside from studying, I'd suggest you make the most of your freedom.

    @taschasp823 definitely!

    @21588 I am not actually there yet but hopefully will be early next year. Just wanted to get some ideas of what people did after. Espicially if and how they got ready for law school. Lots of free time in between if you say do the April exam. More than a year! Best not to waste it.

    I'd love to have your list, thanks!

    If you really want a headstart I've begun compiling a list of books for me to start as soon as I get to your position ^^ "1L of a ride," "Short and easy guide to (Torts)" but there are more short and easy books. And help us ^^

    @lbla041419 work.

    But once I'm done, thinking of taking 1 or 2 months off to go on vacation. After, get first year law books and study them before I officially start law school.

    @zacharytsmith26826 Yes.

    Have you decided where you want to go yet? That would be step 1.
