What are you most nervous about before starting law school?

You are not lying about being suck into a black hole when you are in law school. We need more videos like these to demystify the law school experience. I am a recent law graduate and I too give advice to students interested in attending law school. Keep up the good work! Love the content.

the speedreading and comprehension is what stood out to me! I just finished Business Law and I took 7 hours on a chapter(reading, rereading to highlight, then taking handwritten notes)! I wish I could've done it in 3 hours or so... I'm an accounting major but the course made me interested in law youtube videos :) great video!

When your summer is going to be a quarantine 😅

What I hated about law school was the grading curve. Everyone is smart in law school, and as a former student, I felt like I was competing for those few A's and B's that my professors had to give out at the end of the semester. The grading curve was extremely challenging to deal with. As a law school graduate, my advise to 1Ls is to be aware of the harsh grading curves in law school.

Honestly, my concern is if I can handle the mental load! When I was younger I always wanted to go to law school but in the back of my mind I was picturing myself SLeEPING 😴 like in the libraries where it is quiet and not studying 🤣

[luckyhawk]

What a cute lawyer you are! Thank you for the great advice!

[edithquinones]

Any advice for first generation minority students who plan to apply to law school?

[josesmenroza]

Happy holidays Britney, my question is are their online law degree courses one can take as opposed to traditional brick and mortar universities? Also I'm a loyal subscriber to your channel as I appreciate your first rate content😃.
