12 Things You NEED To Know Before Law School

Hello! I am currently in high school, interested in law and I am able to apply to university. I have been stuck on what I should major in. I am interested in philosophy although I am worried that if I do philosophy and I loose interest in law I'll have a degree with little job opportunities. I was wondering what you majored in and what a good major would be.

This video is very helpful. Thank you

You don't actually have to do the readings. That's what Quimbee is for.

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 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.

im in 11th grade i was looking videos up and i found this you thinks its too early or its better?

this is making me realize how different people's undergrad experiences can be!!-- all or most of my undergrad assignments have word limits, it can be common in some countries for your final grade to be only based on the final, and I spend at least a few hours per class every weekday doing readings in undergrad (in my 4th year now). not to say your experience is wrong or anything, I was just kind of shocked!! anyways nice video, good break from practicing logic games TT

Im a freshman into highschool still reviewing my options on what i wanna do as a main source of income when the time comes, im not academically smart nor get the best grades, how much of law school boils down to straight memorization vs critical thinking?

Thinking about JD after philosophy and theology.

Thank you for this God bless you🙏🏽🤲🏾❤️

I really enjoyed this video. You're actually super entertaining to watch. I really hope I get into law school one day.

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

Hi, really liked your video, I see and expect a lot of reading in Law School. You also said you almost never did assigned readings in undergrad. How was that change of pace from going to not really reading to a lot of reading?

Thank you for this video , you’re giving me hope

I am really glad that I bumped into this video. I am submitting my admission requirements this week! Thank you for sharing this.
