Hope you all enjoyed! This video broke down the 12 things that I wish I knew before starting law school. This was a combination of things that I learned about law school and advice that I have for current and future law school students. I just finished my 1L year as a law student at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. These 12 things can act as law school tips and tricks. I really wish I knew these when I was first starting law school last semester. These law school secrets are something that all law students should know. They would have made my transition to Phoenix a lot easier.

The first and likely biggest thing on the list is that there is a ton of reading in law school. Law school reading is super dense and it's not like reading for other programs. Another hard thing about law school is the amount of legal research and legal writing you have to do as a student. It takes a ton of time to get used to the way that lawyers do things. Additionally, the way you study in law school is completely different from other schools, but I have an other video about that up on my channel. Hopefully, you learned something about law school from this video and feel more prepared to have a productive law school journey. What else about law school are you curious about? Thanks again for watching, and I'll see you next time!

    I remember reading a case from the 1850’s on quasi in ten jurisdiction. I got stuck on one paragraph for an hour and a half. If I had just moved onto the next paragraph (which I eventually did), it explained everything. I felt like an idiot, but I WAS prepared.

    I am really glad that I bumped into this video. I am submitting my admission requirements this week! Thank you for sharing this.
  • An honestly really reassuring video.  Didn't make Law School out like its a piece of cake, but also didn't pull what some other youtube lawyers do, like ignoring or significantly reducing time with family and friends, severing romantic relationships, and cutting back on relaxation even during non work or minimal work days. Gonna be honest, those guys act like you have to sell your soul and become a robot to become a lawyer.

    Im considering going to law school at 43. I have a background in real estate & contracts, and a bs in history that required a ton of reading, research, wtiting, public speaking and required cited sources for every point made. Thanks for the video.

    Thank you so much for this video! I'm starting in the fall so I'll do my best to keep all of this in mind.

    Sealed the deal for me. I’ve been racking my brain on whether or not to pursue it. Thanks!
  • @blakelynch7395

    I studied public admin in college and it was a lot of the same thing you described. Massive amounts of reading and writing, I could not take a break without falling behind. I took law classes, policy courses, government, and interned at a law clinic. I got the chance to work under my professors who managed the law clinic and were successful lawyers themselves. One had a law firm downtown where we would meet every week. It was an amazing experience, and I had some great classmates I still think about even though its been a few years. Law school has been a dream of mine for many years. I am so busy helping my husband with his construction business and taking care of my kids, that he doesn't support me going currently. He said to wait a few years until the business really gets going. I'm 33 so my time is ticking.

  • @silkedego
    I wanna study law and this was very helpful, one thing, I am in high school right now and we have word limits and it's so annoying, I thought it would be over when I went to further studies but I guess my suffering will never end T-T

    Thanks for the vid player! Starting 1L next year
  • @Mycole
    Hey Tex! Love the videos. As an incoming 1L, they help settle the nerves. A potential idea for a video - any chance you could go in depth in how to approach networking/mixer events? Always eager to attend, but with no legal knowledge/background, it becomes intimidating for some. Thanks!
