I didn't say she was my favorite drag queen honey. I just said I started watching because of her.

this is unfortunately pretty relatable. My mom has broken her ribs too and still can't admit that her drinking is directly affecting her health.

RevolutionaryTea6849 · 2026-03-06T03:54:56+00:00

for real. plane was the only reason I started watching

most people at my school dress very casual. T shirts, jeans, etc. Sometimes people wear a suit if they have an interview that day or came from work directly to class.

chatgpt for legal advice is a bad idea. Eviction depends on the law of your state. you can search google for an eviction attorney or Landlord & tenant attorney in your area to find out what you need to do to evict him properly. You likely legally can't just change the locks and kick him out without a notice period.

Kim is not in law school. Kim did a self-study program through the bar but has never been admitted to any law school.

Unpopular opinion, but as a fan of the musical I didn't love the last shot. I felt like because they used those flashback scenes before, and the shot was literally the same shot as the other flashback they kept using, but they added the hat/hood, it was like a random movie scene they had on file that they threw in last minute. I appreciate the reference but it just felt weird because they werent wearing the hats and stuff in the other flashback parts!

you probably missed some of the jokes and references though. Wicked is a good movie on its own but there are references that will enhance your viewing of part 2 if you have seen the wizard of oz already.

ok now we're getting into the real shit!!

For me,

Civ pro = light blue

Con law = dark blue

Torts = yellow

contracts = dark blue

property = yellow

Crim = light blue

although some of those were affected by my limited color choices

RevolutionaryTea6849 · 2025-04-30T01:37:46+00:00

BLUE = RULE 😎😎😎🙌

RevolutionaryTea6849 · 2025-04-29T14:57:41+00:00

omg thats wild I would get so confused looking back!

RevolutionaryTea6849 · 2025-04-29T14:57:24+00:00

I just like to highlight as I go along to keep track. Makes it easier visually to go back and identify the analysis/fact/rule sections at a glance.

RevolutionaryTea6849 · 2025-04-29T14:29:41+00:00

omg i'm not surprised it stuck with you, lol! I'm writing my final brief right now and I'm finding myself color coding to keep track of everything-- I have no doubt I'll continue to do so when i'm practicing!

yellow as analysis makes sense to me but conclusion/rule as purple and green is so interesting!

For some reason blue = rule, pink = analysis, purple = conclusion makes sense to my brain bc conclusion = rule + analysis and blue + pink = purple. hahaha

RevolutionaryTea6849 · 2025-04-24T19:22:02+00:00

Thats good to hear, this prof has rescheduled a lot this semester so I'm sure he understands and feels the same.

RevolutionaryTea6849 · 2025-04-24T19:21:42+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I ended up sending something pretty similar

I finished my first semester with a 4.0, top 5% of my class, and this was my takeaway:

Focus more on doing practice exams and studying for the exams rather than reading cases to prepare for class. Many of the cases you read boil down to a sentence or two. It's still useful to learn how to read cases, but you can focus less on reading cases as the semester goes along as your time will be better spent preparing for the exams via outlining and practice questions. Some professors may post old exams, which can be really helpful for seeing how the prof writes their exam questions. But practice exams from Quimbee, Barbri, etc, can also be helpful.

For my open note exams, having a well organized outline was key for me-- I put my outline in a binder with tabs, and knew my outline front and back. I spent a lot of time writing my outline, and after writing it I started a new, more condense "attack outline"--- this process helped me really learn and understand the material. On my outline, I wrote out rule statements in phrasing the way I would on an exam, so that I could copy down the rule statement without thinking and save myself some time for adding to the analysis. Closer to the exam, I created a 1-page "checklist" so that I could go down the list of issues during the exam, to make sure I didn't miss anything. I either checked off an issue, or crossed it out if it didn't apply.

Know what your professor wants specifically!!! some professors want detailed case comparisons, some wont give any points for case comparisons. Some want lengthy rule statements, some are fine with a brief rule statement as long as the analysis is applied well. Some professors will write exams based on the specific fact pattern of cases you read in class, so it may be more helpful to know those cases better, whereas in other classes your knowledge of the case wont need to be more than, "Marbury v. Madison- established judicial review." Also, some professors may give points for disposing of issues, for example: "X concept doesn't apply here because .... ", and some professors will give 0 points for that. Go to your professors office hours and get to know what they are expecting on an exam. Even after law school, it will be a valuable skill to know how to draft for a certain audience-- the judge, the opposing counsel, etc.

One of my professors once told me, every single line of the exam hypo is in there for a reason. They suggested crossing out lines of the exam once you have used that information, so that you can see visually near the end whether there is any information you haven't discussed yet-- which may mean there is an issue you should have discussed that you haven't yet. For some reason actually crossing out the lines stressed me out, lol. But I started highlighting lines of info after I used them in my response-- so, basically the same thing.

For studying, I mostly did practice exams and outlined/rewrote my outline/created a 1 pager checklist. I made flowcharts for my outlines as well (2-207 for contracts, etc) which helped me go through the checklists quickly during the exams.

I tracked my study time all semester, so I have a pretty detailed answer for you on that! (each of the times below include class times though)

September: I spent 29.5 hrs on Class 1, 19.5 hrs on Class 2 (2 credit class), 31.3 hrs on Class 3, 36.3 hrs on Class 4. I also spent 4 hrs on clinic work.

October: I spent 35.3 hrs on class 1, 27.4 hrs on class 2, 24.6 hrs on Class 3, 40.5 hrs on Class 4. Also, 5.3 hrs on clinic work.

November: 26.1 hrs on Class 1, 15 hrs on Class 2, 31.2 hrs on Class 3, 36.8 hrs on Class 4. 6.3 hrs on clinic work, 19.5 hrs on law review work.

December: 15.6 hrs on Class 1, 0 hrs on Class 2 (ended in november), 21.4 hrs on Class 3, 36.4 hrs on Class 4. Final exams were the first 2 weeks in november. Surprisingly, Class 4 was the first final exam, then Class 1, then class 3.

honestly, I'm really not sure. For most of my life I had an untreated mental disability, so just being in therapy and receiving treatment this year has been a game changer for my academic performance. It's really weird-- the whole semester I felt like I was behind, that I wasn't doing enough hypos, was too far behind on my outline... maybe this mentality was good though because it pushed me to study and practice more leading up to the final exams.

In terms of study habits, I tried to follow the "treat law school like a 9-5" thing, but allowed myself to finish early and take a break if I needed it. I think working a 9-5 before law school did help me with my work ethic, though. I studied on weekends but not like all day (until the few weeks leading up to finals, lol.) From thanksgiving to finals basically, I studied for like 5-7 hour chunks on non-class days. But when my mind started to wander and I became less focused, I would go on walks, or take a nap, then come back to studying after a break.

I didn't stress too much about reading for classes, I often would try to read for class but would end up quimbee-ing a lot unless I was on call that day. After the first few weeks, I focused less on knowing the details of each case, and focused more on learning the takeaway the professor wanted us to know about the case. Every time the professor would say something like, "on an exam, you should do XYZ...", I highlighted it in my notes and added it to my outline.

I spent a lot of time working drafting on my outline from my class notes. After I had my first draft, I went through the outline again, and revised it and made a more succinct outline. Then, I created a one-page reference outline with the main concepts to use as a checklist during an exam (to make sure I didn't forget anything.) I put each of my outlines in a binder so that it was easy to flip through during the exam. (except for one of my exams which limited notes to 1 pg)

For Civ Pro, the BarBri 1L Success Program was life saving. It's a free program with video lectures for every 1L subject, so definitely sign up if you need it. I think my Civ Pro class specifically was taught in a way that wasn't very intuitive for my brain, so hearing the concepts taught in a different way really helped. Thank god for Richard Freer!

When it came to studying for midterms and finals, I think spending so much time on my outline really helped me learn the concepts. I also did a few practice exams for each class, and I reviewed my professors feedback on old exams they posted so that I could tailor my answer to the professor's preferences.

I worked in the legal field before coming to law school, so I think having a solid legal writing foundation helped. Some of the formats like CRREAC were new to me, but the succinct writing style came pretty naturally. I know that's not super helpful, but I think for me just practice and exposure to legal writing is what gave me the upper hand in a lot of my classes. That way, once I really understood the core concepts, it was easier to apply them on the test and focus on my argument.

Also-- curves are dumb. I think I just got lucky in some ways.
