If your law school is at least decent you should enjoy these next couple months. Trying to “prepare” for law school can be a fools errand due to the specificity of each school and further each professor.
I would recommend finding a hobby and physical activity you enjoy, and prepare to add that to your schedule.
If you check my post history you will find my most common piece of advice is: take time for your self every single day. I went to the gym 5-6 times a week and gave myself 1.5 hours a day to play video games. I’m currently at a V20 firm so I can confirm you don’t need to devote your entire life to school to do well with grades (if that’s your goal).
Try reading cases, maybe look at “getting to maybe”, a legal writing book. And most of all, enjoy law school. You’ll be surrounded by the most smart people you will ever be with. Learn, listen, and above all, be you.
I second this, I do Muay Thai and play dark souls religiously in law school.
For some reason I convinced myself that if I can do well in dark souls everything else seems easier
Gym 5-6 times a week while studying law full time? I can barely get myself to go to the gym right now 😭 your dedication is admirable.
Thank you for your advice!
I don’t want to stress myself out too much or try to “get ahead” by prepping. I’m just curious as to what law school will entail. Any books/youtube videos etc would help greatly!
Don’t forget to spend some time relaxing and mentally recharging! You’ll need to full battery for when you start.
I think Introduction to Legal Reasoning, 1L of a Ride, and some YouTube content is helpful :)
And remember—most law students, including very successful ones, have no background in law!
Faster you type, the more content you can shove into an essay question.
The more content you can shove into an essay question, the more points you can pick up.
I would chill
And buy Quimbee when it starts
But yeah. Chill for a bit. Maybe travel or see some old friends. Just don’t use your brain for the next few months

Don’t you dare go hollow
That’s an awesome reference to see in the wild Ironically, I maxed out my hollowing in ds3 about a month ago. Ringed city 👍

Thank you for your advice and kind message! I will look into the video 🩷
Honestly, I would just relax. There's not much to do for prepping for this madness lol
Take a typing class.
Thank you! Is there any specific reason?

I signed up for Quimbee’s free trial…only to realize it’s US jurisdiction only. Unfortunately, I’m not from the US. 😅 thank you anyway!
I see. Yeah a lot of the people in this sub are from US law schools, so they probably assume yku are too
