[QUOTE=Redrob]What was the hardest first-year course?
Evidence
What was the most interesting course?
First Amendment
Was the study load as bad I as hear it is?
Yep. You will have no life, at least for the first year. That is if you want to be on law review, or have some credentials to back up your tedious efforts. Law school is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
When graduated, were you prepared to take the Bar exam and practice law?
Yes, but I would recommend a school that focuses on bar pass statistics. A lot of schools just want the tuition. Do your research!
What do you need to know that they don't teach you?
The purpose of Law school is to hide the ball and MAKE you find it. Meaning not until 2nd year will you understand why in the hell they make you do all that hard work, or call on you in class room full of people just to intimate you, nor what it takes to ace an exam. So talk to some students that have gone before you at the school that you choose, and find out the key to playing the game. Then play the fuck out of it. ;)
And anything else that would be useful to a person considering law school.
Personally, I think it just molds you in a great way, it changes your thinking because it makes you think in a way that you have not before, and it pushes your limits. For me, I decided my last year that I would not practice law, but was more interested in entertainment law, and executive producing. But I don't think I would have figured that out - if I had not gone to law school.
Good luck! It is worth it. Cheers!
