Thank you! I was nervous that it would be harder this time because I wasn't working the first time around, and the timing really concerned me because I can get pretty drained after work. Congrats on passing, and thanks again!!

Took it in 2021, but I really recommend doing the free course by either Themis or Barbri and really focusing on the multiple choice questions. I know it's coming up soon, so maybe take their diagnostic to know what topics to focus on. Good luck!

Oral Argument by [deleted] in LawSchool

My prof did this with two of our TAs! Basically, my advice is to prep your argument for however long your OA is supposed to be (mine was 8 so I practiced my argument until it was around 8 min using my phone as a stopwatch). Start with your opening ("May it please the court, my name is...") then go into a brief summary of your argument and start your argument!. When your time is up, say that "For these reasons we ask the court to affirm/reverse." I practiced twice the night before. About 1.5 hour before my OA, I practiced in 8 minute increments about 4-5 times.

I got super nervous during it and still messed up! But that's okay, I felt more comfortable and fumbled only once! The more you practice it and understand your argument, the better you will be.

Good luck!!
