★ Today let's talk about some about starting law school and why they're wrong.
The first myth is, "Everybody knows what they want to do "when they graduate." In reality, very few people go to law school knowing exactly what they want to do when they graduate from law school.
Myth number two: "Everyone is super competitive." Some are some are not. Don't count on everyone being cut-throat. You'll definitely meet a lot of quality people.
Myth number three: "Everyone has legal experience "before they go to law school." Or in other words, "Everybody knows this stuff but me." Nope. Few have legal experience and even if they did, it won't help much.

The gunner part is soooo true
There are a few gunners in my class who are very vocal and engaging while I just sit at the end roll
Guess who got a scholarship? None of them but me
Objection! my Name is Gunnar, and i take offense to this, lol
I am liking your informative video works.
Thanks!
So, basically, don't read the book 'One L' before going to law school.
Edit: Hold up, you recommended reading it a couple videos later. I read it a couple years ago and it scared the hell out of me.
Gunners are what my dad often says - "Great thunder yet small drops."
Wow only 31 comments? Wild. These videos are super nice even though I know he only does popular legal topics now.
I heard a lot about undergraduates majoring in different fields than law (political science, philosophy, psychology)
But does that mean that if I do my bachelor in law, ( I'm German by the way🇩🇪✌🏾) that I won't be accepted in any American law school?
0:25 - Myth 1 - Everyone knows what they want to do
2:05 - Myth 2 - Everyone is super competitive
3:15 - Myth 3 - Everyone has legal experience
I am there's and law school and learning more
I am studying on a case on It's Dosen't make since
Are there certain questions one should ask in regards to being 100% sure that they need to go to law school? Is there a particular frame of mind one should have, besides knowing they need a law degree for their future career?
Do you mind being 200k usd i debt while earning about 50-60k a year as a lawyer? Then yes, go to law school.
@@TheFrontyer what law school did u go to bruh, 50-60k??💀
@@TheFrontyer oh you are a trumpie
@@denoteryt Thats about the average salary for a lawyer two years ago. If you can make big law then its about 200k.
I go to a top 3 law school in my country.
@@TheFrontyer no not really. Firstly it depends on what kind of lawyer you become, if you are talking about a public defense attorney then you're spot on but corporate lawyers and criminal lawyers make 90k plus on average.
Objection, the thumbnail of this video suggests that dinosaurs are myths!
How?
My frist day confuse of law school it's is stressful when you don't know any Anybody's and making friends
Why is it important to go to a "good" law school? Are there professions where it isn't very important?
i really want to go to lawschool, but i have to wait 2.5 more years...
did you go
I'd like to practice Auto-injury Accident or DWI attorney
Those are going to be different fields since Injury is a civil matter while DWI is criminal. Not that I'm an expert tho.
The gunners are probably the sort who would prefer to be trial lawyers. But there are lots of other things lawyers do, and none of them require alpha-dog behavior.
Myth #4: Billable hours are a breeze.
My question is can they's bring up old case jf he ain't guilty 30 year's
Get much studying as I can
Many, if not most, law students are simply gullible. At most law schools grades matter, and matter a lot. . .for 10 percent of the class. If you aren't in the top 10 percent of your class (top 5 percent for very grade-conscious law firms like Cravath and Skadden) your grades don't matter. Making journal matters if 1) that Journal is called The Law Review, and not a "secondary journal" and 2) again, if you are in the top ten percent of your class. Once the first year is over, and everyone has received their grades and knows where they stand, there is literally no point whatsoever in competing. As a practicing lawyer with decades and experience, I find the gullibility, and downright stupidity, of many of today's law students very disturbing. Law schools sell students a lie, promising them prestigious jobs with top firms, when in reality 9/10 law students will never even get an interview for a summer job with such a firm in their lives. Then, when the hapless dolt realizes that he, like 90 percent of his classmates, is out of the running for Big Law, and considers dropping out, the Law School Professors, Administrators etc., swoop in, telling these idiots "Well, if you're not top ten percent/Law Review, but you are top 1/3 & Space Law Journal" that's pretty much the same thing. . . .and they believe this, because they want to believe it. . .and we end up with our annual glut of new lawyers who can't find a job, and are willing to go to court for pennies, or even work for free, driving down fees for the successful lawyers. Lather/rinse/repeat. . . SMH. . ."Secondary Journals" are a scam, pretending that being in the top 31.253 percent of your class will get you a job is utter nonsense, and so on. Post graduation no one will care about this stuff, not even a little. Just another quarter-million in tuition and living expenses, now these are "student loans" that will follow the unemployed JD for the rest of his life.
If I didn't do culinary school as well as smart, determined, and charismatic, I'd go into Internet Law, the same kind of dude who helped H3H3.
