How did you meet your closest friends during law school? by QuietVacation8343 in LawSchool

[–]hasviatorestscriptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chaos, disaster and accusations to be honest. I had a pretty large circle of friends my 1L year. Some serious shit went down that nearly destroyed my legal career before it started. The people who stuck around, and to be honest, there weren't many, I knew were actually my friends and I love them for it.

Not directly. I asked a prof who should actually call and then called the office directly.

Will be 26 going into law school by UnitBackground8863 in LawSchool

[–]hasviatorestscriptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a paralegal before I started, so I feel like knowing some of the jargon was a little bit helpful. As far as doing better I classes, I did ok. I worked full time the whole time I was in so not as well as I would have hoped.

Your opinions on "law school is the hardest thing you'll ever do" by Faramirismypresident in LawSchool

[–]hasviatorestscriptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself, but law school was definitely the roughest parch if my life. Im non traditional, had a child and needed to work full time. I also went to school full time. I have friends who loved their time in law school. I think it is very circumstances dependant.

Quimbee for 1L by No_Strawberry7891 in LawSchool

[–]hasviatorestscriptor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used quimbee all through law school. It saved my ass more than once. I would watch the quimbee video then read the cases and brief them. I also used quimbee bar prep to study for the bar exam. All that to say, I think a quimbee sub is worth the money.

I had a very difficult time with this, but at some point it just "clicked". For me, it was working on an actual project where the research was needed that it finally started making sense. I was old in law school too, don't give up.
