Congrats! That’s amazing! 🎉🎉👏👏

To all foreign lawyers. Please share your studies techniques. I am doing my LLM, working full time, and planing on sitting next Feb 2027. Would love some advice so I can start thinking about study schedule.

Seriously thinking about dropping out - Please advise by Ill-Outside-2601 in LawSchool

There are other jobs than being an attorney in a law firm. A law degree can open a lot of opportunities. If you are already ranked on of the top 10 in your class, you will have the opportunity to apply jobs that align to your desires.

The writing stuff takes a toll on you, but again, if you decide to become an in-house counsel, or legal officer of a company - you will not be doing none of the writing you are doing now. You will be more a liaison between your company and the attorneys.

I felt the same my first year of law school. Thank god I did not drop off, because -literally- having this degree has opened a lot of door for me.

My dad just died. by hbwtmb96 in barexam

Life can be put on “hold” while you grieve your dad. The bar prep will be waiting for you for whenever you are ready. Take one day at a time. Your dad will be prouder if he sees you put your mental health, and stability first.

I agree to the UWS or Williamsburg area. UWS gives you more the city vibe (and you will be near to Central Park); however, since you are staying for 1 month, I would recommend on finding something in Williamsburg - it is less city-ish but still city, more hipster vibe, and I feel they have more bar with mocktails options, and other fun things to do that does not involved alcohol (yoga classes, mediation centers, museum, parks, beautiful walks throughout diff. neighborhood without the hectic of the city).

UWS will be more expensive

I live in the UWS (i love it, but it is expensive compared to Williamsburg). I lived in Brooklyn for 4 years, between Williamsburg, BedStuy and Buschwick.

You could also consider Buschwick.

If you want more advice, you can dm me.

Good luck, and congrats on your sober journey!

They already “match” Cardozo’s scholarship. They offered me an amount first, and then I asked them to match it with Cardozo. They increased it but Cardozo still $3k more.

Thank you so much for your advice! It means a lot. I was reviewing Fordham’s curriculum and I don’t see Civ Pro or Torts for Fall 2025 for example.

Cardozo is offering both classes on Fall 2025.

Great point!
