Hey guys...sorry for not replying earlier... but @Sheri123 and @nibs7985 , @"Nicole Hopkins" is 100% right... I'm totally against briefing cases... its a HUGE time sink...
-
So @diefor170 and @runiggyrun your softs have to be good, but the +ve here is that your LSAT score will count for much more than anything... Before applying to law school, I had 3 LL.Ms all from top schools - London, Penn, Chicago... years of pract…

Thanks for the shout out @"Nicole Hopkins" 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.
-
So I didn't use Larry's course actively in that I did not send my answers to him to evaluate... but I did use all of his methods... and I would have done MUCH worse without them than with them... I was given free access because of 7sage... and a lot…

Congrats man... seeing this a bit late but congrats!

@mimimimi some do... some, like Chicago, if they are interested in you will offer you Skype interviews... you should definitely take these... but you can ALWAYS walk into the admissions office and not exactly ask to be interviewed but just let them …

The key is to do the video... that's virtually a 60 second face to face interview if you can't make the trip here to meet them.

GULC is possible... I got in with a 167 and no US gpa... and you're a vet... they have a special thing for vets... there are like 4 (that I know off) in my section alone.
-
Congrats @Pacifico ... I'm guessing that with that score you might also be a strong candidate at a T14 (should you want to) not just a T20 given that you're non-traditional AND have served... one of my best friends here is from the navy. Plus if the…

Yeah I would say thinking about outlines etc before you start law school is needlessly worrying and in a sense putting the cart before the horse. About summer summer prep well there are more conflicting opinions on that issue... some people just rea…

Change is inevitable... as the fall of Michigan in the rankings indicates. Yet it is also true that these rankings are somewhat of a self fulfilling prophesy. Can someone seriously say that the caliber of students in the schools at ranks 14 and 15 d…
-
Worked for me in contracts and con law at least... or so it seems... one can never tell the grades are good( some good-ish) but that could be due to a variety of factors including prep during the term.
-
@mimimimi yeah its a good supplement to class readings... you are right you don't need 30 + books a few good ones will be just fine... you won't have time to read all of them... my mainstays were the short and happy guides and for questions I used C…
-
Also... if you learn by listening, then looking at audio outlines is good too... there's Law School Legends and the Sum and substance series and if you're particularly cheap like me, then there is something known as audio outlines 2 - 3 hour summari…

@mimimimi if you're lookig for 0L readings then first read getting to maybe and then check out the short and happy guide series: http://shortandhappyguides.com/

@Pacifico said: I think far too many people get overwhelmed by the workload or course requirements or not looking like a moron in classes that are Socratic method heavy and they lose sight of what is actually important: the final exam. Amen to thi…
-
@CUNY_2017 Its fairly standard so for me the best one that worked was the Civ Pro E & E (not strictly an outline but a supplement)... most people suggested it for contracts as well but for contracts I went and used "A Short and Happy Guide to Co…
-
The best way to get the relevant v, irrelevant thing is not to just read the cases but to use a commercial outline before the course begins! I swear those things are magic.
-
@pritisharma you should definitely use your time for those things then... whatever your relaxation is, you will need as much of it in 1L as you can get to ensure that you're happy and healthy. Not all activities have to be collective especially recr…
-
@Pacifico - good guide that... essentially what I did... + a ton of practice exams... dunno my grades but I can wager that they are not at the bottom of the pile for sure.
-
@pritisharma actually not really... I fit in with my class and do not feel very different - there are younger and older people and they are all friendly... yeah there are some aspects I don't include myself in... for example... bar review is somethi…
-
@pritisharma so being non traditional probably helped my application though I can't say for sure. I had a set reason for why I actually wanted to do a JD which I explained through the prompts that Georgetown had in its application but there were ple…

@"The Aviator" said: Imaging people in their early 30s sit in the same classroom with kids who are just out of college. Yes, there is a need to address or explain why professionals with 5+ work experience want to go to law school and potentially ch…

Yeah age is just a number and going to law school after you have some non-academic experience definitely has significant advantages. For example, your conceptual tool kit expands, you tend to handle stress better, and sometimes your real world exper…

anywhere between 6 - 12 weeks in RD. of course there are cases that are at the tales of the distribution... but this is generally standard.

@Pacifico don't put The University of Chicago down man... alma mater and all that stuff. jk jk But in all seriousness @7sagelsatstudent180 If you want maximum options open for you including academia... and finances NOT being a (major) concern... go…

Don't worry... they will be out in a couple of days max and likely tomorrow... while it is usual for the LSAC to release scores early, there have been cases where it has released them on the predicted day and in one case even a day later.
-
Depends on what you want to do... if you really want to go to law school you might as well give it all that you have... on the other hand if you feel that this is not what you want to do then by all means walk away... as for the time... I spent doub…
