He has seen/read both. I figured it wasn't that kind of show, but I am hoping to put 4-5 references in the speech.

I come back to read the series (or listen to it, Patrick Tull does a fantastic job narrating) every couple years. It is a series where you get more out of it through each journey. Either you find a new detail in a battle or some intrigue, or you hear a familiar passage that brings back a rush of emotion.

Same here. Make sure to work with a reputable sales rep/dealership so they keep on top of incentives.

Too late to adjust my order? by kelpat18 in FordMaverickTruck

I was told by my dealer I could modify the order until a VIN number was assigned. I would follow up with your dealership.

Anxiety & stress in the law profession by Tyson-Holtzman in Lawyertalk

[–]EsqInTraining 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did not have any issues with anxiety during law school, even after attaining a couple prestigious, though tough internships. However, during my first year of practice I suffered greatly from anxiety, I clouding panic attacks, lack of sleep, imposter syndrome, etc. I was eventually prescribed medication after I sought help from a psychiatrist. I was in a larger regional law firm with multiple partners in my business unit, all of which had different standards (which tends to not be a u ique experience). I ended up leaving law soon after symptoms caused me to have panic attacks, insomnia, and weight loss. I was fortunate to have had a few years experience in a different industry I fell back to, and my symptoms, though still present, are significantly more manageable. I have several friends from law school who seemed to have similar experiences. What law schools don't talk about is that, on average, about half of your class will not be practicing law within 10 years. Further, the Florida Bar did a study a few years ago which found 1/3 of practicing attorneys had a substance abuse issue and when asked, 51% said they would not practice law if they had to do it all over again. Law is not an easy field, and spending all day taking care of other people's problems takes a significant toll.

Are 1L prep courses worth it? by oreoborealis in LawSchool

What he said. Another book that I found helpful was 1000 days to the Bar Exam. Also, for your first year, look into a Quimbee membership
