7Sage Law School Explained
Hi everyone, I have exciting news to share.
We're giving you a free peek into a new set of courses that we're developing in collaboration with professors from top law schools to teach you what you may or may not learn in your 1L year.
I say "may or may not" because the way teaching happens in law school is strange.
You'd think that there's this body of law and that the professor would just tell you what the laws are and then you can learn to apply them to different situations. But that's not how it is. Instead, most professors utilize what's called the Socratic method by which they ask questions of you to prod you in the right direction so you can figure out the answers yourself. The claim is that by so doing, they're teaching you to "think like a lawyer." No doubt it's sometimes successful. But often it's not. If I could sum up my 1L experience with the method in one word, it would be this: frustrating.
I would have preferred to simply listen to professors communicate their knowledge of the law. They had the knowledge. I had an empty head.
So, in some ways, what I'm doing here is an attempt to fix something that had bothered me for years. I'm trying to make legal educational content that J.Y.-from-the-past would have wanted. In so doing, I'm hoping that I'm making something that you, current or future law student, want.
We are preparing lessons for courses that most 1Ls have to take. They are Property, Contracts, Torts, Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, and Constitutional Law.
We have only a few lessons ready in the Property and Torts curriculum, but we're eager to share what we have.
If you have any kind of account with us, including a free account, you'll be able to access these lessons. This won't be true forever, but it is for now.

Loving the lectures so far, thanks so much JY!
Will there be a module on Intellectual Property?
Hi there,
For now we don't have any plans to do a module on Intellectual Property because it's not a 1L course. In the far future, we might do one.
This is awesome! Thank you!
This is amazing! Thank you so much
This is amazing!! THANK YOU!
It looks like the Property section was taken down. Will it come back at some point?
Hi there,
The Property course is still available at this location: https://7sage.com/lawschool/progress/. Are you having trouble accessing the Property course?
@"Juliet --Student Service--" Im actually seeing the same thing. I still have access to Torts, Civ Pro, and Con Law but I can't see the Property course anymore?
Yes, the only ones that were showing up were Torts, Constitutional Law & Civil Procedure but it looks like Property Intro & Property - Trespass are back. Thanks!
@"Jay Tee" and @jmarmaduke96
Sorry about that. The issue should be resolved now. See the screenshot below of how it should appear:
Let me know if you still cannot access the Property course.
Awesome idea. Can't wait to dive in!
“Frustrating” is an excellent word for 1L classes. I can think of a few others I won’t share. Looking forward to watching this develop, and I’m jealous that I didn’t have this!
Update: I've been going through this course and genuinely enjoying it. How complete is this? How far in the development of this project are you guys? Just curious.
So awesome. Took a quick tour. Praying I make it so I can hit this big time. Rock on JY!!
Thank you J.Y.! I admire your intelligence and cannot wait for more content!
I just completed the available CivPro videos and can't wait for more. Having gone through the BarBri CivPro modules I can say that 7Sage is unique in making CivPro principles understandable. Any idea on when more material will be added? Thanks for this GREAT resource!
