My Secret to Graduating as the #1 Law Student (and Law School Prep Tip #6)

2 Comments/in

My Secret to Graduating as the #1 Law Student (and Law School Prep Tip #6 Set Challenging Goals and Develop a Unique Strategy to Accomplish Them).

My decision to go to law school was not the most well-thought-out decision I’ve ever made. I think my exact logic for that decision was:  “I want something challenging but medical school is too long.” I didn’t even have any desire to practice law.  I was basically only going to law school because I wanted the intellectual challenge. (Side note: While I do not regret my decision to go to law school for one second, I also do not recommend that such big decisions be made with such little forethought!).

This makes it very difficult to learn the law! It also means that you may find yourself very confused after class.  I remember many occasions in law school when I would leave the classroom ten times more confused than when I walked into it.  Read more

how to prepare for law school over the summerHealthy habits are underrated in law school. In law school, you will be surrounded by classmates who put physical health on the backburner. Physical health is important, in part, because it is intimately related to mental health.  If you are looking to increase your concentration, focus, and recall – and ultimately do well in class and on law school final exams – maintaining a healthy lifestyle is something you should make a priority.   It is also something you can start on in the summer – the earlier you start changing your daily routines to make them more healthy, the better. Thus, our second tip for law school summer prep is to develop healthy habits. Here are a few suggestions on ways you can do so:  Read more

in

how to prepare for law school over the summerThis post is the first in a series about all things that 0L’s – that is students about to enter their first year of law school – can do to prepare. Some of them are lifestyle changes (for example, this blog post);  others are more substantive things (i.e. what books to read, and what assignments to get a head start on)

We assume that most of you 0Ls are not itching to grab a legal treatise on Contracts the first week of June, so for our first post, we’ll start with a lifestyle change that may be easier to implement. Read more
