I actually asked my Crim Law Professor about this documentary. She said she couldn't believe the way the prosecution handled the case, and she's an experienced prosecutor.

I also spoke to some friends who are police officers in neighboring counties of Manitowoc. The sentiment against the Averys is real. They also believe it may have been one of Steven's brothers. His brothers, as I believe the documentary points out, have a history of sexual violence against women. Regardless, the Manitowoc police department handled this so poorly.

@harrismegan369 I would link some of my outlines, but I feel a bit hesitant. I found a link here.

You can look at some of them there. They have the ol' general outline formatting. Your outline may be as intricate or simpler than than those above (I've only glanced at a few). The point of an outline is to have something that gives you all the important information, in condensed form, so you can study for finals.

Also, don't worry, most people have never outlined before going to law school.

@kennedybj959 I'm actually part of the hybrid program at my school (which means I'm full-time, but I take classes with the day sections and part-time sections). If you have any specific questions I can ask my fellow colleagues in the part-time section!

@sheridickson10526 Yes, I mean outlines covering what's in class. Outlines can include any information you may need when you study for the exam. Remember the outline is your key to the exam. Not only does it help you study for the exam, but you learn more about the subject you're outlining when you're outlining.

@kennedybj959 Last semester & this semester I read a lot (maybe 6-8 hours daily?). Not only do I read the casebooks, but I also read other supplements that explain everything. Sometimes when law professors teach, the theory or point doesn't always come across clear. You should be mentally prepared to read more than what you are actually assigned. Case-briefs also really help. Some people only read case-briefs (explained a bit more down below), and some people use case-briefs to review the case (after reading the full case) or study for finals. Writing will vary from professor to professor, but for your legal skills class you will be writing a lot.

@torahisland910 I should have qualified my post. This is my individual experience. My experience with competitiveness is more limited than yours. Some people work hard and will share things with you. Some keep to themselves, and others will outright lie or try to mess others up. There are certainly more people willing to help out than the latter, but these people exist.

@sarahfatima my prep for law school was very limited. The most you should probably prep for is learning how to outline properly. When you get your first week assignments (my school gives them out about 2-3 weeks before school starts), do them as soon as you can before school starts, and outline. Fitting in outlining when you have so much to read & do is very hard, and there will be instances where you can't find time to outline. I will say this, reading cases the first semester/year is pretty important. Past that point though, a lot of people ONLY read case-briefs (still read supplements) in order to save time, because at that point you may already have a job at a law firm (if they like you in the summer), you may be doing moot court or participating in other law school related things.

@nielsinha488 I share your sentiment; grades and all.

The bunny gif gets me every time!

@alexandergreene93842 FIU Law

To piggyback off of what others are saying, it also depends where you plan to work (region, state, city, etc.) It also depends what kind of law you want to practice. Do you want to become a professor or judge later on after practicing for awhile? Both are very respectable and usually pay decently. You can do so much with a law degree. Aside from doing well in law school it's also about networking. I know current 2Ls who worked for firms the summer after their 1L year and who are kept part-time during the semester. They may have already secured a job after graduating. Honestly, it's a huge misconception. You want to work for BIG law, or corporate, or clerk for a Supreme Court Justice? You need to be top of your class. Do you want to make a decent living and possibly earn more later on? Don't flunk and network while you're in law school.

I love the law, everyday I just want to keep reading. I usually stop because I need to outline (which is essential). It's difficult, and that's a given. You are being taught to think differently, it's like an evolution. Screw the haters, law school is awesome (at least after the first month).

how do you all feel you did?

@7sagestudentservices @2543.hopkins I've probably spent close to the same amount, but I'm afraid to ask Riot lol

@7sagestudentservices okay added! My name is Yuno!

Thank you for the bunny :P @7sagestudentservices

I agree with @974 take some time off! You'll need it, because once you get to law school there is no time off! Nothing is ever finished, it's only due :P!

@974 how did your test go?

I was hoping you'd catch that :P @7sagestudentservices

@974 fits your profile picture :P

I'd upload my pic with Rubio, if the picture was flattering +_+.. It's cool to meet candidates :)

@974 Oh what a hole it is! I feel like I'll never be able to climb out with the amount of work that's been prescribed!

@2543.hopkins I should properly thank you as well! I was only able to attend one BR study session, but it helped me with my future BR and you gave me a lot of advice this past year. THANK YOU!

@thuythanhtran188 Thank you, kind sir!

My school implemented a new system last year. It deals with a class that meets once a week (not graded and doesn't have any additional assignments) and it teaches us how to outline, when to study, how to study for essay vs. multiple choice exams and etc. If anyone knows, please share! This is the first I've heard of such a program. It feels like a free weekly tutoring session.

YES YES YES! I'm not sure if the Oct. exam will follow the recent trend of older LGs, but I'd be very careful. I remember studying for the exam and going over the LG bundle one last time before June. I came across a circle game and sorta chuckled while shaking my head. However, this circle game was a bit more elaborate than the game from PT 1. LG feel a bit harder (to me anyway) on the recent LSATs vs all the LSATs I've PTed. LG is one of my strongest sections (-1 and sometimes -3/-4), but on actual exams it tends to be my worst section. Also, remember that a 160+ is possible even if you bomb the LG section, you just have to be amazing at the other sections, lol.

As the others have said, it shouldn't take too long. They calculate (as far as I know) as they go, just as @974 said.

@mes08820 yes careful review is a very important part of the learning process. B.R. as much as you can!

Is it the same school or two different schools?
