I was darn sure about what I wrote before I wrote it.
Great advice whether you’re using keyboard and screen or pencil and paper. (Laura Bergus writing for Lawyerist)
4. Other students are liars. They didn’t study the way they said, they don’t feel good about the exam, and they probably don’t even want to be attorneys.

merlin:

How ever long things like this exist, and whether or not they have a giant impact on humanity, I really believe it’s only bootstrap projects like Favrd that can reliably keep the web interesting. I truly do. Hacer: make and do.

This is equally applicable to law school. Running on the treadmill, following the herd, and thinking that it’s the tool or the place that defines you encapulates 90% of the issues people have in law school.

So as Merlin says, Hacer: make and do. If you want something in law school, work toward it rather than waiting for someone else (or worse the system) to give you the thing that validates your very existance, be it a job, an A-star, or just a pat on the back.

Many of you 1Ls will find out that law students love to give advice. The motives for the advice givers are mixed (cue the Eurythmics). Some upperclassmen are condescending or just want to see how long it will take to make you cry, but I suspect that most students genuinely want to be helpful.
