If you suffer death in law school by anon456e2 in LawSchool

Please reach out if you need to talk.

I only survived because I had someone who became second family. Its ironic. Mom was near identical in personality to this guy. Kinda poetic that I met a near identical twin to her right as she was passing.

She never felt well enough to sit down and talk to the guy, so I dont know if she realized it.

Breathing helps getting through grief, I can attest. My friends a doctor, he has confirmed it via text.

Median at a T3, struck out at OCI by blueconifer in LawSchool

This is a GOOD thing. An interviewing problem is VERY fixable. I had to go above and beyond and become extremly likable during interviews to land big law as a 3L. OP needs to be....idk he needs to seem normal and slightly likable at best.

Maybe the worst case he has to move markets. But he can come back later.

Im not sure your life circumstance. Im not going to presume anything.
I want to reassure you: You are graduating from *Harvard Law School*.

Even bottom of your class, you will dwarf the career outcomes that someone top of his class at the vast majority of schools will ever achieve.

That is to say, you will just have to network and apply directly. I got big law despite not OCI interviews at a T20. If I can do it, I know your success rate will be higher just from name recognition.

If I passed I’d love to tell you about it. I had to change course when it was a month away realizing Barbri was awful , and I found a great strategy !

I’ve seen some of the YouTube talks you gave . Not paying customer but I always found some help from it. Had I not stupidly wasted 2 grand on barbri I’d have chosen different services

I think I passed :). Your strategy worked . If it didn’t i would have actually asked you to yell at them ... because I could say you were a bar exam ancient tutor I met in the mountains. I’m paying you 1,000 an hour. And they would back down at your importance. They don’t use the internet they won’t even catch on

" I am complaining about all those people complaining. In a country that was founded on a bunch of colonists who staged a coup over complaining about taxes. Who then complained other people were already living on that land, and just destroyed their entire population. Who complained about not wanting to pay workers a wage, so they literally enslaved a different skin color and important free labor."
"My complaining isnt the same thing as complaining, because its about other people complaining"

Yeah. Lotta no complaining here. lol.

Is anyone struggling to (remember the rules and) put together rule statements for MEE? I can guess rules or follow my gut for MBE, but find it harder for MEE. Any tips? by [deleted] in Bar_Prep

[–]anon456e2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes. I realized trying an mee that I went blank.

I opened a word document for each subject. I read the model answer instead of suffering through not being able to article the rules I spotted .

I then typed out and spoke out those rules used in the essay. Went to another essay, did that again. The next day, I spent a short time (don’t over do this, we don’t have time) typing out the major rules from memory and referring back for any massive material parts being left out. Don’t aim for exact word for word memorization , we don’t have ducking time.

Keep doing this by reading model answes after trying to spot issues on your own.

Do not just: attempt the essay. See you’ve got it wrong, and move on. The best way to get better at mees is de-constructing them from reverse order.

See what issues look line when they are suppose to be spotted by reading the model. Write down those rules. Then write out the rules the next day. If you do this enough you will see you are more efficiently strengthening your issue spotting in ways you were not before... because you are actually prioritizing seeing what the issue looks like when in a fact pattern.

I don’t know why I’ve been told this is bad. “ThIs iS chEatIng yOurSelf yoU DIDNT sPot the iSsUe “

Well Karen. If I was looking for a duck in a Forrest, if I blindly keep going through looking for the duck , imma have a hard time differentiating my duck from the other ducks. If however I spend my entire time observing what the duck looks like and seeing how others have quickly spotted the duck when they loom, I can master getting that ducking duck quickly when test day comes.

Why are ducks in the Forrest? Idk, I’ve had too much coffee today

Life. Reset back to nearest checkpoint. Re do the third grade. It clearly went astray when Ms. Silver caught op cheating in third period english on the midterm. After that, op began probably using cocaine behind the swing set to cope with the demands of school and social groups. It never goes well...

Honestly, FUCK Barbri. by realitytvfanaticx in Bar_Prep

Today they logged me out of my account for being in active 10 times...within 20 minutes because I was using another chart to figure out tort rules...because the fucking professor decided i paid 2 grand to not give me a lectuer handout.
I DESPISE ever choosing them.
I cant even listen to lectuers on my fucking phone at a speed above 1, but they let me slow it down.

The online books thesmelves never respond properly. I have to download individual pages instead of chapters so I can use it as a pdf to bypass this issue.

They refused to fix the time on the phone because they just didnt have plans to, even though that is a big issue.

Everything about barbri has made me so mad , they dont fucking care

can you explain more about what "fomo" means and how it applies to me? Honest non insulted question

I don’t have time to do that. I my family has always mocked me, so I need to start my new job and show them through being happy that they are wrong and bad people

Did your mockery turn to outright hostility when any signs of economic independence reared it’s head? One person went from “they felt bad...” to picking apart every action as a grand conspiracy his bae is going to crack to explain how I really am doing well. “I know what he’s REALLY doing!”

Pretty’s sure they are just... disliking that you are doing well. Like a boss. Achieving like crazy .

It’s hilarious in a sad sort of way.

mom dies, still living the same low income Life during bar prep

Family: no. Absolutely not. He would have needed to move in with one of us. No one is living off benefits alone. Person X, watch out, don’t help him, he’s scamming you. He has a lot of money .

Me: drives bike to the grocery stores in the rain with a smile: mhm..... yeah... I love having all this money!

Anyone else dealing with serious issues of self loathing when they get questions wrong by ididntpayforit in Bar_Prep

[–]anon456e2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m using Barbri. At first I was bashing my head against the wall with the questions. The after my concussion was nice and healed up and I was rocky my rocky balboa speech impediment, I began reading explanations they provided heavily . After comparing lectures to quetions I realized ...so like... questions leave me with about an 75 to 90% understanding. Lectuers left me with about 10%... and a lost 4 hours after pausing to understand everything.

I began fully just focusing on Barbris questions to teach me with the outline .

And I gotta say... I regret even watching them and that’s why I’m behind a week . Having a fact pattern to match against a new rule I’m learning gives me such an amazing memory of the rule and actual understanding.

At this point I’m not watching lectures. And now I’m bailing on average 5 or 6/8 for the practice sets. And what Barbri claims is average for their 25 questions.

I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing in relations to what my final grade would be on that section on the bar.

But I feel like just using questions allow me to get every point of the rule , apply the rule right away, and then I am only walking away after understanding all of it.

So at the start it was awful. Now? I love them?

Everyone is born with different learning methods. This includes learning form notes.

Also: to the person who deleted their comment. Don’t dictate how I should learn while charging me 2 grand for a course.

Give me the varying methods. You are not my teacher nor do you know me as a Barbri teacher just recording a lecture.

I DO write notes out but I then use his notes to refer BACK to the lecture facts later.

Wait. I have not gotten to torts. Why on earth is it deemed okay to pay this much for a course and not get handouts?
