Some great tips here, though I'd concur with others on the splitting. If you lock all this down and are still struggling with time, then you should video tape yourself taking an LG section (preferable from overhead). There's no better way to see h…

Bumping for any fall test takers still needing help with Logic Games.

I'd definitely throw Sapiens on this list now.

UCI has one of the highest rates of student satisfaction in the country. Trust me you won't regret the decision.

@westcoastbestcoast said: UCI recently UCLA in biglaw/clerkship numbers at 41 percent. Do you think this is sustainable or its anomaly? I'm just slightly worried that the exceptionally small class played a role, whixh wont be the case when cla…

@xadrianas6x said: Anyway... I wanted to know if the schedule can be worked to try and get maximum time to make it easier for family. Also, what are summers like schedule-wise? 1L you have zero say at virtually every law school in terms…

@JNCR1234 said: Hello .. for someone considering doing a JD/MBA what advice you give them or what question would u ask them to consider before they undertake such a program ? Why do you want to do it? What skills and knowledge do you hope …

The other thing I'll just generally say on the remote parenting stuff is that it really matters what age the kids are. If they are under six then those abnormal routines will have much different ramifications than with older children to whom you can…

@"surfy surf" said: General scheduling question -- How many days do you have class and for how many hours? How much time is spent on externships/clinics? Are externships/clinics more or less like a student-job as in you work your h…

I'm in my 2nd year of a 4 year JD/MBA program and I love it. There's a lot of things I would love to improve about both sides, but ultimately it is all what you make of it. Full disclosure I go to school for free with my GI Bill, so the calculus is …

Book briefing is basically using colored highlighters and some margin notes to brief the case in the casebook rather than writing out the whole brief. For people that do it well it's much faster and you always have the actual language right there to…

@westcoastbestcoast said: Do you recommend case briefing? There are people who come down on both sides of this. On the one hand, if you take the time to brief every case you encounter you will undoubtedly improve. On the other hand, is that …

@mcglz_64 said: Several Questions: 1) What would you recommend for reading for our summer prior to law school? 2) How do you balance your workload and organize your notes? 3) What types of jobs are you seeing a lot of 1Ls gunning f…

@jkatz1488 said: First off, thanks for your now-famous Pacifico Method. Foolproofing will, in all likelihood, change my life (because of a much high lsat score) and you were a big part of that. Did you prepare for 1L? Any crumbs of wisdom…

@BinghamtonDave said: Hello, thank you for doing this. I read about a month ago that UCI's ranking (USNWR) actually increased by 7 spots. From the inside, what have you heard accounts for this rise? I've always wondered what accounted for s…

It was much less reading than I expected... don't get me wrong, it was a lot of reading, but having earned an M.S. in International Relations while I was in the Army where we had hundreds of pages of reading I was totally shocked when I only had 20 …

Here's the secret most people don't notice or won't think to tell people... the majority of law school classes are K-JD, even at places they push for older student bodies... unless you've had a uniquely hard childhood and adolescence, law school wil…

Along with the improvement in reputation, we finally caught a small break here: "In this year's law school rankings, U.S. News slightly reduced the discount for jobs funded by the law school or university in the calculation of employment rates of 20…
