0L here, what should I do over the summer?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 30th, 2012 5:18 PM Author: abnormal bossy bbw I know most people say to have fun, but this year I kind of already did nothing, so I'm getting a bit bored. Should I get an internship or job? Or just study for 1L a bit. Kind of feel like I need to be somewhat productive in order to be happy.
Already go on dates, drink, sex, etc. |

why are you going to law school? can you read?
if you do go (and you absolutely should NOT), do not read anything law-related. the law is only what your professor says it is which may or may not have any basis in what you are reading as a 0L. |
|
Date: April 30th, 2012 5:21 PM Author: abnormal bossy bbw do you really think it is counter-productive? everyone seems to be saying that.
other advice i've gotten is LEWWS or whatever it's called |

Date: April 30th, 2012 5:23 PM Author: Marvelous Sweet Tailpipe Philosopher-king there are plenty of unemployed and under-employed T10 grads. you are much better than moast but you are still quite possibly fucked.
the only thing law school will add to your humanities degree is a pile of debt. I restate my question: can you read the news? Do not go to law school. |

|
Date: April 30th, 2012 5:28 PM Author: Marvelous Sweet Tailpipe Philosopher-king good luck. DO NOT read anything law-related before 1L. it is counter-productive because you will think you know something. the only thing that matters is what your professor says. many people have batshit liberal torts professors that want you to write about frivolity.

Moore's Federal Practice
Drone on Copyright
Wharton's Criminal Law (15th Ed.)
Williston on Contracts, 4th
Dobbs' Law of Torts
It will be a bit of a slog but you are obviously willing to go the extra mile and that will work to your advantage come exam time. |

Only 19 optometry schools in the country, six figure salary, and perhaps one of the chillest, easiest jobs you can possibly have. |
