thank you so much for this series! It is absolutely incredible. As a prelaw student, I’ve learned so much more about the field because of your videos. Cannot wait for the rest of this series!!

[helenwu]

as someone who just accepted a full-time law firm offer but is still so torn on litigation vs transactional, this was super helpful and I am eagerly awaiting the next installment on corporate law!!

[mkoPCV]

What an incredible service you are doing for aspiring lawyers and curious people!

[ninoskasuarez]

Thank you! This really breakdown the role as a litigator. This is a very insightful video. I look forward to the next videos.

[leofortin]

So insightful to have legal concepts like these broken down and explained in a direct, non-beautified way. Can’t wait for the next video :)

[joolz]

Hey, in the future I think having a better quality mic will make your videos better. It doesn't have to be anything expensive either. I love your content!

[ChanningWearsSunscreen]

Cece breaks down law in SUCHH a comprehensive way <3 Thank you so much!!

[Dj.khalex]

Your videos are always so informative! Thanks for breaking down these subjects so clearly and thoroughly

[arafrahman]

Great breakdown. Maybe a future area on specific types of law? Like divorce law, personal injury law, patent law etc

[katharine]

Employer types is definitely something I'll be looking forward to!

[cfan]

Such an underrated channel, this was great!

[found_theplace]

Applying for law school this coming cycle, and am interested in being a litigator. This confirms it. Pre-trial work sounds challenging, but right up my alley. Particularly discovery and doc review. Trial sounds even better!

[brendoncrum]

If this is a series id really appreciate it because I want to be a lawyer but am undecided as to what field specifically I want to practice in. Love your videos

[donyconjux]

This is awesome! Thanks for doing this. This is greatly appreciated :)

[oatmilkfiend]

I recently commuted to Harvard law and your videos are making me even more excited!!

[julialouisetutt]

This is so interesting to hear as a lawyer in Australia. Don't know which bucket wills and estates falls into, cause we have disputes as well as "transactional" in estate planning.

[gedfe]

Wow, I LOVED this video. Thank you so much for the breakdown and ease in explaining next steps and stages of litigation, so helpful!

[meghan]

Such a great video!!! I’m excited for this series, you are so good at breaking it down & simplifying the practice.

[rxscience]

I'm a legal assistant at a medmal practice and all we do is litigation, I wanna be a litigator in big law.

[samanthascoppettone]

Really look forward to your videos! Hope your book is going well :)
