Imo its a little too early to say right now... you should keep working and take a call the week before the test... I know that means a forfeit... but you will have the best idea of what to do at that point of time. Also... don't put too much stock i…

I wouldn't say its terrible... its just that the approach resonates with some and not with others... I was just comfortable using the 7sage method. So didn't need it for that.
-
I basically used 7sage as a base and did the topics from the trainer that I felt I didn't have a good grip on post 7sage just to get a different perspective... my flaw spotting became much better in particular after using the trainer.
-
Its a conceptual tool that definitely helps out in looking at things... its primary purpose is the training of the mind but I can think of some areas where it is helpful such as determining if an issue is precluded in a subsequent suit (provided tha…

@nicole.hopkins said: For a lot of us, it took well over a year. Only take the test if/when you've seen your goal score a minimum of 5 times. Word... I prepped with 7sage for over a year and a half and only gave my test when I hit my desired score…
-
A prep course is not necessary (or for that matter sufficient) to do well on the LSAT... That said, being risk averse, I would get one... and that being the case, 7 sage is a really good course to get... better than many in the market and it will l…

@"Jonathan Wang" totrally... he is the anomaly who would not have wanted to transfer...
-
Yeah there are people who go to shitty schools like that... for example there's this one guy who coaches for the LSAT who went to UC Hastings with a 179 on the LSAT... but those are likely not people who want to transfer... I'd doubt that a person w…
-
^^^ even then i.e. ending up #1 in your class... depending on your the rank of your current school... some schools might be out of reach.
-
Not really...but in a way... the direct academic determination is made on your 1L grades because you have essentially shown that you can be successful at law school.. grades and GPA are just predictors for that.... but that is part of the picture...…
-
That or just call the school up... and ask how long they usually expect... they ought to be able to give you an estimate...
-
I would then take @Pacifico 's advice and go with two pages... safe... standard... easy... no fuss.
-
Yeah there are few things that annoy admissions officers as much as what you propose to do @shainabarber . Just go on TLS and you'll find the deans of top law schools rolling their eyes at EXACTLY this in their interviews... this is part of the admi…
-
Individual sections are ok to begin with but at some point of time you should start taking full tests... there is imo a good way to do this if you have enough fresh tests left... I'd say at least 9 -10 though it would be better if you had 15 odd do …
-
Also... don't proceed with a preconceived notion of how much time you will need to prep for this test maybe you give it in June... but maybe it takes you till December to master the concepts... what you need is to feel that for yourself when you are…
-
@lye1001 I just hang around the community now and then... I'm not using the ultimate + course any more as I'm already a 1L at Georgetown. However, I will say this. The ONLY resources I used for my test prep were 7sage and the LSAT trainer. I would …
-
Read Arrow's post on TLS about transferring... his advice is supposed to be legendary... I believe its called Advice on transferring to another law school... he made the switch from Loyola to Boalt hall and his piece is the single most comprehensive…
-
Its a black box... and you're much better off working your butt off for the LSAT and then attending the best school that you can... for example in my case I was an LL.M at Chicago... I had a GPA that put me well into their top quarter and virtually …
-
Yep... Velocity is really good for LG... and Dave is a really nice person... helped me over the phone multiple times... but curriculum wise... and overall teaching package wise... this is the best course on the market. I would choose this over V.

A job for @nicole.hopkins

Conratulations!

Actually for you some PhDs such as the JSP from Berkeley, the CLASS program with Michael McCann Washington at Seattle, & Criminology,Law and Society Irvine might actually be good. They have Heavy Recruitment... specially the Class program (Alec …
-
The other person you can mail is Malcolm Feeley who runs the JSP PhD program at Berkeley or if you could get hold of her than Lee Epstein who studies Pol Sci. Law and Courts at WUSTL (which again is a top PhD program if you want to do your PhD afte…

Top JD/PHD programs for Philosophy would be 1) Follow your JD up with a D.Phil from Oxon - don't even thing about this one 2) NYU(Pretty much everyone including "so called" heavyweight Jeremy Waldron, Habermas, Nagel etc) & UCLA (Shiffrin is to…
-
This is not saying that a JD is bad... or to discourage you in any way... heck even I want to get back to legal academia...) just that a JD is bad if you are relying on it for getting into academia... also with all due respect as someone who is doin…
-
So here is the deal. I would advise you not to go to law school relying on Plan B. Only go to law school if you are willing to PRACTICE law... this is not because I don't think that you can crack legal academia... but because its difficult for anyon…
-
If you are interested in becoming a legal academic, contact Prof. Brian Leiter at Chicago... he will tell you how to proceed. I don't think there is anyone who is as valuable a resource as him for this particular track, perhaps in the country... you…
-
The other route is that you could go to a T14, practice for a few years, bang out a couple of articles in your area of practice, and apply as an adjunct... or try for a Bigelow or a Clemenko (those are the two big ones) teaching fellowship -0 or get…
-
@markariangeorge yes... legal academia is pretty snooty that way... if you want to teach at law school, then (and I know there are exceptions to the rule - there always are - but you wouldn't want to gamble on being the exception or the special snow…
-
Also.. at this point of time, the atmosphere isn't QUITE as laid back because of the "Spectre" (pardon the Bond pun... of exams looming in the backdrop but if i do well there, I still have the advice given by Larry on 7sage (when he was part of it) …
