glad to know law students still nap and watch Netflix! I've been worried that all I'll do next year is read and go to class and read and read some more and then do more reading.... LOL
Omg you definitely will have time to do lots of things haha. Reading will take lots of time, but I think people would go crazy if they couldn’t do anything else 😂
I think that just as it important that people have academic freedom to publish scholarship, and its also important for people call them out for it if it's awful scholarship lol
hey ! I’m a 1L right now and I found your channel today, your videos make me feel less alone about law school in general. Thanks for helping me feel sane 😭💘
Keep doing you boo! Second semester of med school is kicking my butt too. It's hard but it'll be worth it. Your videos give me a lot of strength to keep studying and I love that you talk to us like we're good friends haha. You got this!! :P
Okay I’m in my second semester at law school too and I thought I was the only one struggling! I feel like I’m understanding less and don’t have the motivation to try to learn it and don’t even get me started about job hunting lol we’ll get through this together!!!
I really enjoyed your video!! Could you do a video on how you got into law school?? Did you study the LSAT?? What tips do you give for getting started ?
Hi Caroline! I really, really appreciate your honesty and vulnerability in this video. Also, I really liked your transitions! :D Quick q: Will you be mentioning at all how that book you recommended we read (Getting to Maybe) helped with your exams last semester? Thanks!
Haha thank you!! I’m trying to keep the video fun so tried to add in the transitions. I definitely can cover that in my exam email! It basically just teaches you about how law school exams work! :)
Caroline, your videos are a consistent inspiration to me and make me excited yet apprehensive for law school. Keep being your true and authentic self, any firm that turns you down for your TH-cam channel is not worthy of your presence. I’m sure you will land a great summer job nonetheless. Stay strong this semester and keep finding time to do things for yourself. Maybe this will motivate you, but I just accepted a job as a legal assistant and I’m putting off law school for another year, but just remember people like me would absolutely die for a spot at UMich!!! Best of luck and I’m looking forward to more of your videos :)
Congratulations on your new job!! Thank you so much for the kind words. Definitely be excited for law school, but not apprehensive, it’s hard but manageable for sure!
Damm all these people in the comments are so pressed, like are y’all even in law school? This is her channel she is showing HER experience. Maybe yours is different. I’m sure her channel is going to keep growing and she is very courageous to put her opinions and experiences out there. Keep going girl, can’t wait to see your thrive.
Aww thanks so much!! Thankfully, most people have been super supportive/nice! This video definitely isn’t my ENTIRE law school experience but it’s part of it so I’m going to share it!
thank you for sharing your journey with us!!! we defffffffinitely appreciate it. you for sure got this semester. do not even trip. trust the process- it’s yours! 😊
in summertime i sleep with my curtains open so i wake up really early and in winter i put my alarm on the other side of my room so i have to stand up and sometimes i just want to hop into my bed again but yeah you should just walk out of door into the bathroom and hope that you‘re awake now😅
ohhh that's smart!! I always tell myself I'll leave my alarm across the room and then never do haha, it's especially hard in the winter getting out of a warm bed
@@LegallyCaroline yes thats so true. I often lay out a nice pullover & socks and when i have to wake up i put them on. But i don't know if that works for you. I have problems waking up early, but i also cant focus in the evening, so i have to study in the mornings. Thats my motivation, so i can chill later haha.
Dear Caroline, I am a South Korean preparing for law school. I love watching your video and today I really wanted to thank you for talking about the comfort women issues Japan’s politicians continue to ignore. Thank you for your courage🥺
Don’t be scared!! It’s hard but if it’s something you really want to do, it’ll be with it :) You also definitely don’t have to do any prep beforehand haha
Your videos only keep getting better and I LOVE the new background music! Also, sending you tons of good luck in the job search process. I am sure you will land a great one! (p.s. Detroit Cookie Co. has opened by State st. if you ever need a pick-me-up. Best cookies I've had. )
I actually JUST went here today haha!! The MLaw insta featured a bunch of dessert places and I was like ugh I need this in my life. Also it makes me so happy that you like the bg music, I out so much time into picking the right song that’s not too distracting 😭
Would you mind explaining why you feel so stressed about this job hunting? Are you trying to get a regular job to make some money or is this a job that you have to have to fulfill some kind of requirement of law school? Would you mind either making a video or if it's a short explanation, if greatly appreciate it. I'm planning on applying to law school for next Yr. and feel like I need more information of what to expect and what's expected of me. Thanks!!!
What if you're on call but you didn't prepare for the material? Do the teachers keep asking you questions until you cry or they deduct points from you?
Noo, they’re not mean haha. You can just say you don’t know or you didn’t get the chance to do the reading, and they’ll move on. If it only happens once, they won’t deduct points or anything. But if it happens too many times, they’ll make a note of it when giving final grades!
we used to form groups to get the readings done collectively.. each one reading a section and writing down the notes to share with the group. Do people do that in law school?
Ooh that’s smart, I’m sure some people do that, but I think most people in law school prefer to do the readings themselves, especially in 1L when you can be cold called on anything
Go blue! I miss Michigan so much 😭 If there's anything I've learned in sports and how it applies to law school is that *it's alright to take a break if you don't understand what you're doing wrong* It helps in so many ways. For starters, you'll give your brain a break and you'll train your muscle memory (brain) the right way. It just helps. Trust me.
Go blue!! I definitely missed out on part of the Michigan experience this year so hoping that next year I'll get the full experience, I really want to go to a football game lol. and yes!! that's great advice, I found myself taking a lot of naps/breaks last week and at first I felt guilty, but I realized it was quite helpful
@@LegallyCaroline it is!! Taking breaks is hard but it's so crucial for your mental health. That and talking to your friends and a therapist. Is it cool if I email you about law school? I'm taking a long break from academia and I'm going to live abroad for a few years (possibly Berlin) before I do any professional program
@@LegallyCaroline I started reading that article you posted and I rolled my eyes. Has this Harvard professor forgotten the rape of Nanking? th-cam.com/video/Ux74kJLv7KY/w-d-xo.html
i heard of that harvard professor case!!!!! wtf!!!! as a chinese canadian (just like you) i literally know about the sex slavery situation!!! and they call them “comfort women” to make it sound better wtfffff
Yeah it’s so gross, I was honestly a little in shock when I first heard about the article because it’s so weird to me that people would try to change history like this
I don’t have any affiliation with law (I’m going to be an English major in the fall😂), but I loved this video. You look like you’d be such a fun friend to be around! But hang in there! Good luck to you🙃
The waiting room just outside of the washroom is for women who need to breastfeed! There are a couple around campus and some have little signs that say it.
at Michigan it was all private rooms, I dont know about other schools! I think it depends, but I'm guessing that most law schools have private rooms, if not also private bathrooms
Right You are fantastic, please don't fret over the emails you haven't received yet,,, i am bloody sure you will soon. And this was something new, maybe not, but the things you share about---- like telling us about that Harvard professor, or that case. Sure some interesting things to look up to :)) i hope you don't discontinue this in future. I loveeeee your vlogs and please please keep up the great work Your lawschool is legit hogwarts grounds lol Wishing you loads of happiness and luck :) I love this channel ❤
ahhh thank you!! And I try to incorporate what I'm learning/relevant news in my videos because I think it's just all part of my weekly experience. I will try to do it more! I'm just worried there's too much talking sometimes haha. And yes! definitely hogwarts vibes, which makes me very happy. Hope you're doing well!!
On call just means I will be cold called that class! So I just have to be prepared to answer :) some profs let you know in advance, and some profs just have everyone “on call”
It really depends on the class/day! For con law, it’s only about 9-12 pages, but it’s dense. For crim, it’s like 30-40. For my seminar, it can be anything from like 30-60!
That’s per class! So for my seminar I only have it once a week, so I have the entire week to read. But for con/crim, I have it 3 times a week. I know that in full-time 1L, we’re recommended that we don’t work at all since law school will take up all our time, but I’m sure a part time evening program will be different! I know a few people who chose that route! So I think it definitely is possible to work full time and do that :)
@@LegallyCaroline Wow! I didn’t know classes were 3x a week. I thought they were once a week for 3 hours. So are your classes 1 hour or 3 hours long? So on average each course has like 100 pages of reading a week?
@@LegallyCaroline Im actually about to be going into law school soon. I was hoping you could do a video with a Q/A about expectations and what you think about law school now vs before you attended? Keep posting! :)
@@elliellieelliee I have video up where I cover things I wish I knew before law school, which kinda covers that, but I def am planning on doing a Q&A soon!! might do a live or something :) th-cam.com/video/cVTe8o5sZeY/w-d-xo.html
Hey!! I am a smaller creator and love your content. I am in my last year of law school at the University of Hawaii Richardson School of Law. I would love to work with you on a video that we can share to both our audiences :)) you seem great. 😃
@@LegallyCaroline You’ll see them in older institutions. Mostly universities now. Mine had them too. Old offices had them too, they were put in when women joined the office work force more so in the 50-70s. They’re supposed to be a place for women to rest, nap and be away from men when they are having cramps or feeling unwell. I think it was a great space.
John Mark Ramseyer (born c. 1954) is Mitsubishi Professor of Japanese Legal Studies at Harvard Law School and a leading scholar of Japanese Law and Law and Economics, the author of over 10 books and 50 articles in scholarly journals.[1] He is known as co-author of one of the leading Corporations casebooks, Klein, Ramseyer & Bainbridge, Business Associations, Cases and Materials on Agency, Partnerships, Llcs, and Corporations, now in its 10th edition.[2] In 2018 he was awarded Japan's Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon in recognition of "his extensive contributions to the development of Japanese studies in the U.S. and the promotion of understanding toward Japanese society and culture. But yea I'm sure you know better than he.
@@LegallyCaroline They dont, know this for a fact because attended a non-ivy league law school and they had all midterms and finals closed book and we have to memorize all rules/elements on fact patterns. Had some friends though that did attend ivy-league law schools and all exams for them were open book and they had 2-3 days to submit exams and at shortest up to 8-10 hrs to submit exam the day it was assigned and there was no "Examplify" for testing they could just submit exams via email. What type of Attorney are you interested in becoming?
I think this is a rude comment to leave. As Katrina said, Law schools, and other post-secondary institutions, welcome diverse perspectives and international students provide that. And I am definitely not the only one struggling with some of this content in my class. Also, it’s just wrong lol, law in the US and Canada is set up very similarly.
Caroline, what does the professors race have to do with anything? I love your blogs, but pointing out race when it is irrelevant is wrong. I hope to be able to keep watching your channel.
Why is race irrelevant here? Being white is a privilege that has contributed to his success, he now has the resources to research, write and teach about a variety of things. Instead of using his privilege and academic position to further scholarship on this issue, or any other issue, he chose to attempt to erase a major atrocity that impacted many East Asians, to try and tell them what their history actually is. His race impacts his writing and scholarship, and it shows. He was asked why he didn’t include any Korean sources and his response was because he didn’t know Korean, which is ridiculous. And the fact that he was able to get away with that is because of his race, if an Asian professor had written an article on an American historical event but didn’t reference a single English source, do you think it would have the same success? I’m not saying being white is the only reason he‘s had a successful career, but it certainly makes his path easier. I’m also not saying that him being white is what makes his article wrong, if he was any other race it would still be wrong. But as a white person, he has the privilege to do more wrong and get away with it, which happened here, and also a responsibility to do better, which he went the opposite direction here and it should be pointed out. The legal profession, including those with the most privilege, especially have a responsibility to address the role race plays in society, in academia and in everyday lives, especially considering how racialized, if not outright racist, the justice system and other institutions have become. And I will continue to do that.
@@LegallyCaroline What you are expressing here is your opinion and not facts. You have no idea what it like to be another race and you should be smart enough to see that. This myth of white privilege that you have been taught in your universities is ridiculous. If the study you are talking about is bad then point out his poor research or dispute facts in the study which is how you should have been taught to evaluate research in the first place. You are an extremely privileged Asian woman who gets to attend a top law school where your race, gender and nationality were surely considered in your admission. That being said, you calling out someone else's privilege is rich indeed. I had high hopes about your channel and had enjoyed it, but as a Caucasian male I realize I am not welcome here. I hope one day you will look back and cringe at how bigoted and hateful your views were. Good luck with your studies. I am unsubscribing.
@@LegallyCaroline How does this not have anything to do with me? When I was a subscriber who encouraged people to watch your videos and then you bring up the subject by bashing a white male. I am no way a victim. A victim does not speak up and also this is youtube channel which is not important enough to victimize anybody. This is a perfect situation we have arrived at where you get viewers that think like you and I get to not watch videos that demean me. It is a win-win! Again, I enjoyed your channel until now and sincerely wish you the best!
I think you really need to focus on what's important: school. TH-cam isn't going to make you rich or pave your way. You seem really distracted and even when you speak, your thoughts are scattered. Maybe you have add?
I don't know what you're talking about. It's easy to follow along with what she says, I've never had any issue with it. Maybe you have poor listening skills?
I think it’s super important to have interests and passions outside of school, and TH-cam just happens to be one of mine! I think my mental health would be even worse if I only did school 24/7 :) I do prioritize school though, which is why sometimes videos come late, like this one! Also I think my thoughts were definitely a scattered this week, burnout will do that to you, and I try to edit out parts where I’m pausing/rambling, which might further the effect of scattered speaking. But overall, representative of my state mind that week! 😭
@@LegallyCaroline you are wondering why you're not getting calls back for jobs, yet you're posting all over TH-cam about how unfocused you are, how you don't understand anything, etc etc etc. Riiiiiight.
@@dude69467 What a rude and ignorant comment to post. You’re assuming that this is the only reason she got rejected from one job? Regardless, even if that were true, which it’s not, it’s probably for the better - a workplace environment where they judge people for being their candid and honest self is toxic and not a good fit for Caroline anyways. She is an extremely intelligent law student at one of the best schools in the country. Law firms know law school is hard because they’ve been through it themselves. Nobody is perfect and understands everything 100% of the time. Please find something better to do than attack her character and perhaps work on your own instead.
I am outlining the commerce clause as I listen to this that is so funny!! 🤣❤️❤️❤️ you are such an iconic queen for stopping your Vlog and speaking on that violently ignorant article, And calling him out!! Yes!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
glad to know law students still nap and watch Netflix! I've been worried that all I'll do next year is read and go to class and read and read some more and then do more reading.... LOL
Omg you definitely will have time to do lots of things haha. Reading will take lots of time, but I think people would go crazy if they couldn’t do anything else 😂
Happy Lunar New Year Everyone! 🥰🧧
Happy Year of the Ox!
Keep up the good work! Your channel is my favorite law school vlog channel, and I think you give the most candid perspective on law school!
Ahh thank you so much 🥰 comments like these give me the boost I need to continue these videos
I'm so glad you mentioned the Harvard Professor's research regarding comfort women. Very important.
I think that just as it important that people have academic freedom to publish scholarship, and its also important for people call them out for it if it's awful scholarship lol
hey ! I’m a 1L right now and I found your channel today, your videos make me feel less alone about law school in general. Thanks for helping me feel sane 😭💘

Good luck with these upcoming weeks in the semester 🥺 You’re really brave for being able to be this open and vulnerable with your audience ❣️
Thank you 🥺🥺 I just feel like it wouldn’t be genuine if I only shared my highlights
I was so mad about that professor's "research" as a Korean Canadian 😤 also the burnout is real 🙃
It feels like we’re just taking steps back 😪 and yes lmao, and you never know when the burnout will hit

aw I'm glad!! it's really what you make of it too!
I love seeing a bunch of law students building snowmen ❤️
it was definitely a nice break!!
im already so scared... time to frantically read a bunch of books i don’t need and burn out before even starting law school lmao
Just get ahead! Start now, it’ll make you feel so much better and start creating good self care habits so you don’t burn out
Don’t be scared!! It’s hard but if it’s something you really want to do, it’ll be with it :) You also definitely don’t have to do any prep beforehand haha

@@LegallyCaroline Im actually about to be going into law school soon. I was hoping you could do a video with a Q/A about expectations and what you think about law school now vs before you attended? Keep posting! :)

How's the law school workload in comparison to undergrad?
SO much more intense. To be fair, I didn't really go my readings in undergrad, but I'm basically reading all the time during the week in law school
Hey!! I am a smaller creator and love your content. I am in my last year of law school at the University of Hawaii Richardson School of Law. I would love to work with you on a video that we can share to both our audiences :)) you seem great. 😃
SENDING A BIG VIRTUAL HUG YOUR WAY !
Ahhh thank you 🥺🥺 really needed one

That waiting room in the bathroom is there for when women have to lie down or rest during their periods.
Wow I had no idea, now I’m wondering why more bathrooms don’t offer them
@@LegallyCaroline You’ll see them in older institutions. Mostly universities now. Mine had them too. Old offices had them too, they were put in when women joined the office work force more so in the 50-70s. They’re supposed to be a place for women to rest, nap and be away from men when they are having cramps or feeling unwell. I think it was a great space.

But yea I'm sure you know better than he.
yes
Which law school is this?
University of Michigan!
Yikes not the pressed white men in your comments 🙄 I’m so sorry you have to deal with that.
Thankfully not too many!! ☺️
lipsticks and lattes went to law school, graduated, got a job and she still youtubes. u should check out her channel! :)
Oooh yes, I’ve def seen her videos. I think the general consensus is youtube is fine :)
I'm here after Law school kdrama😂
oooh, I haven't watched that yet, is it good?
@@LegallyCaroline yea it isssss..u definitely have to watch it
Amazing video girl! I am a law student in the Netherlands. I would love for us to have a chat❤️
This is nonsense... because Ivy league law schools have all open book take home exams compared to non-ivy league law schools.
I think most law schools do open book exams!! I think take home was just because of covid :)
@@LegallyCaroline They dont, know this for a fact because attended a non-ivy league law school and they had all midterms and finals closed book and we have to memorize all rules/elements on fact patterns. Had some friends though that did attend ivy-league law schools and all exams for them were open book and they had 2-3 days to submit exams and at shortest up to 8-10 hrs to submit exam the day it was assigned and there was no "Examplify" for testing they could just submit exams via email.
What type of Attorney are you interested in becoming?
This is why Canadians shouldn't go to the US for law 🙄 they are completely different
What are you talking about? And you know law schools look for diverse perspectives, right? Being different is a good thing.
I think this is a rude comment to leave. As Katrina said, Law schools, and other post-secondary institutions, welcome diverse perspectives and international students provide that. And I am definitely not the only one struggling with some of this content in my class. Also, it’s just wrong lol, law in the US and Canada is set up very similarly.
law school made by boring people for boring people !
Caroline, what does the professors race have to do with anything? I love your blogs, but pointing out race when it is irrelevant is wrong. I hope to be able to keep watching your channel.
Why is race irrelevant here? Being white is a privilege that has contributed to his success, he now has the resources to research, write and teach about a variety of things. Instead of using his privilege and academic position to further scholarship on this issue, or any other issue, he chose to attempt to erase a major atrocity that impacted many East Asians, to try and tell them what their history actually is.
His race impacts his writing and scholarship, and it shows. He was asked why he didn’t include any Korean sources and his response was because he didn’t know Korean, which is ridiculous. And the fact that he was able to get away with that is because of his race, if an Asian professor had written an article on an American historical event but didn’t reference a single English source, do you think it would have the same success?
I’m not saying being white is the only reason he‘s had a successful career, but it certainly makes his path easier. I’m also not saying that him being white is what makes his article wrong, if he was any other race it would still be wrong. But as a white person, he has the privilege to do more wrong and get away with it, which happened here, and also a responsibility to do better, which he went the opposite direction here and it should be pointed out. The legal profession, including those with the most privilege, especially have a responsibility to address the role race plays in society, in academia and in everyday lives, especially considering how racialized, if not outright racist, the justice system and other institutions have become. And I will continue to do that.
Definitely NOT irrelevant. Race is relevant.
@@LegallyCaroline What you are expressing here is your opinion and not facts. You have no idea what it like to be another race and you should be smart enough to see that. This myth of white privilege that you have been taught in your universities is ridiculous. If the study you are talking about is bad then point out his poor research or dispute facts in the study which is how you should have been taught to evaluate research in the first place. You are an extremely privileged Asian woman who gets to attend a top law school where your race, gender and nationality were surely considered in your admission. That being said, you calling out someone else's privilege is rich indeed. I had high hopes about your channel and had enjoyed it, but as a Caucasian male I realize I am not welcome here. I hope one day you will look back and cringe at how bigoted and hateful your views were. Good luck with your studies. I am unsubscribing.
The fact that you have somehow made yourself the victim of a conversation that has nothing to do with you is very telling.
@@LegallyCaroline How does this not have anything to do with me? When I was a subscriber who encouraged people to watch your videos and then you bring up the subject by bashing a white male. I am no way a victim. A victim does not speak up and also this is youtube channel which is not important enough to victimize anybody. This is a perfect situation we have arrived at where you get viewers that think like you and I get to not watch videos that demean me. It is a win-win! Again, I enjoyed your channel until now and sincerely wish you the best!
I think you really need to focus on what's important: school. TH-cam isn't going to make you rich or pave your way. You seem really distracted and even when you speak, your thoughts are scattered. Maybe you have add?
I don't know what you're talking about. It's easy to follow along with what she says, I've never had any issue with it. Maybe you have poor listening skills?
I think it’s super important to have interests and passions outside of school, and TH-cam just happens to be one of mine! I think my mental health would be even worse if I only did school 24/7 :) I do prioritize school though, which is why sometimes videos come late, like this one! Also I think my thoughts were definitely a scattered this week, burnout will do that to you, and I try to edit out parts where I’m pausing/rambling, which might further the effect of scattered speaking. But overall, representative of my state mind that week! 😭
@@LegallyCaroline you are wondering why you're not getting calls back for jobs, yet you're posting all over TH-cam about how unfocused you are, how you don't understand anything, etc etc etc. Riiiiiight.
@@dude69467 What a rude and ignorant comment to post. You’re assuming that this is the only reason she got rejected from one job? Regardless, even if that were true, which it’s not, it’s probably for the better - a workplace environment where they judge people for being their candid and honest self is toxic and not a good fit for Caroline anyways. She is an extremely intelligent law student at one of the best schools in the country. Law firms know law school is hard because they’ve been through it themselves. Nobody is perfect and understands everything 100% of the time. Please find something better to do than attack her character and perhaps work on your own instead.
You are really psycho 😂
I am outlining the commerce clause as I listen to this that is so funny!! 🤣❤️❤️❤️ you are such an iconic queen for stopping your Vlog and speaking on that violently ignorant article, And calling him out!! Yes!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ugh I’m outlining commerce clause right now too 😭😭
Ugh I’m outlining commerce clause right now too 😭😭
