Thank you for making this video. I just started law school at UOttawa and it was such a culture shock. We were being praised for just being there. We had not done anything yet and we were already the best of the best. I hated that, I didn't want to make myself believe that I had made it. There is still alot of work to be done and I wish we had talked about the successes and failures to come rather than the simple success of being accepted to law school. Since then, I've been reminding myself that I'm here to help others, not to celebrate how great we are. I think students need to be reminded just how much we can help the world become a better place.
I can already see the changes you're going to make in this world, I also noticed from the way you speak you're confidence and clarity of speaking has got sooooo good!!! I can't wait to see these changes in myself as well. Really awesome video!!
Wow, your message especially with being humble is amazing! I'll be starting law school in September and that is one thing that is also really really important to me!
I am just 15 and i am crazy to be a lawyer (legal adviser) i always love to watch your videos beacause is realy get many knowladge about law and law students.so pls keep on making informative videos 😍😍😍
Congrats Lynnea, you will be fantastic. I have been watching your videos and following your channel for a few years now. Thanks for making me realize that this is the path for me and providing the guidance and tips for us. It means a lot. Best wishes!
A baby Canadian 0L here (applied and hoping to get in for Sept). Stumbled upon your channel after yesterday’s Feb lsat release lol. This channel is such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the honesty. Your humbleness reflects through your videos. Keep up the great work! 💙
Hi, i am is the law school student from indonesia, I totally agree with all your statement, law school change me. And I really love your statement “remain humble whoever you are “ ❤️❤️❤️💕
I love your videos! As someone who also studies in law and aspires to go to law school once I finish my undergrad, your video have been such a good guidance for me.
Humility in life (and the law) goes a long way. At the end of your days would you rather be remembered as someone who made a lot of money or because you always had time to chat with others? Stay humble, good advice.
No way I just noticed I left this comment 3 years ago haha. I'm in my fourth year of law school now and graduating at the end of the year. What a full-circle moment
You are an inspirational Person!! Love your Vlogs and you should do another week in law school as this gives us an overview of what you do as a student. Your law school is different to where i live in London, and it helps me decide if i want to study abroad. Thanks for another video and stay positive!! ):
can u do a video on best strategy on how to study and not fall behind i start law school at ucalgary in sept and I'm afraid my undergrad methods aren't suitable like do you just do readings and take notes how do you time manager reading huge books and take notes also how to actually take notes i know its odd but I've seen others in law school make table of contents in word or categorize stuff like that
My advice for you and others in law school or any graduate program is to work a week ahead. For example, the week before your first week of class is when you do the readings and assignments for the first week. Then the first week of classes your doing work for week two. Then week three you do work that's due in week four. Hope that makes sense. Also, start making an outline EARLY so when it's time for exams your outline is done and all you have to do is study it.
Thanks Sarah thats actually really helpful also what do you mean by outline? what exactly is an outline in terms of law school? sorry if its a silly question its just in undergrad id just go back to my lecture notes/readings notes and study off those just re read and rewrite the most important things
It's ok not silly at all! It's great to ask these questions so you know what Needs to be done. Basically, when you go to your law school class the prof will lecture, go over cases etc. you talk some notes on that. Then you have to take notes from the textbook. After that you combine all those notes into an outline in Microsoft word. At least that's what Most people do. This outline for one class might be 50-60 pages. So when it's time for finals. You just study from that outline instead of the giant textbook or big notebooks with hundreds of notes. Some classes might have the final be open note/book so you can bring your outline with you. Most people do a table of contents so they know where to find what information. Outlines are not just notes you could also reference cases you learned about and what the holding was etc
I know you'll be going to law school in Canada. But here is a sample outline for a criminal law class at NYU. www.law.nyu.edu/sites/default/files/upload_documents/Crim_Barkow_2015.docx Of course laws would differ between Canada and the US. However, It should look a little some thing like this. You find your own style once you start classes. Or you could get a head start like when you work ahead. Itll give you time to learn and adjust without falling behind! :) also, look through Lynnea's videos she did post a video on studying for exams a while back.
Nice video. I am a 1st year law student. This video is so relatable. I always love watching your videos. Please keep making videos. There are very few quality channels on law student and law college on TH-cam and yours is one of the most honest one. Love you lynnea. One question do you have any Integrated course of law in Canada as in India we have courses like 5 year integrated courses like BA LLB, BBA LLB ?
Thank you so much!! I'm not sure about other schools, but I believe OttawaU has a JD/MA program and a Canadian and American dual degree program. I don't think there are any programs that combine a BA with a JD, but I could be wrong. Hope that helps!
The same happened to me regarding the news. I believe both age and law school influence, there is also personality, however I do think law school has the most influence when I compare my interests post law school with my other friends that are not lawyers.
Is it true you can't have tattoos or piercings if you want to practice? I have a small nose ring and a tattoo right above my breast. It can be covered but it also peaks through occasionally. Do you think this would prevent me from getting past the interviews?
I love your videos, I want to pursue my dream and become a criminal prosecutor and I wanted to get an idea on how law school is. Thank you for informing me about this!

Starting to use words like “per se”, “prima facie”, “bona fide” is one way that law school has changed me....

I am a lawyer from Greece and I am really impressed by the way you talk! You are very mature though you are young!congratulations!
I can already see the changes you're going to make in this world, I also noticed from the way you speak you're confidence and clarity of speaking has got sooooo good!!! I can't wait to see these changes in myself as well. Really awesome video!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!!
Love your vids! Could you talk more about which area of law you are focusing on and what field you plan to practice in in the future?
Thanks!
Wow, your message especially with being humble is amazing! I'll be starting law school in September and that is one thing that is also really really important to me!
Gratitude is what separates confidence from arrogance. You have no idea how brilliant this statement is. Absolutely remarkable.
Truthwillprevail 24 I really like that statement too! I actually heard it from another TH-camr, Ingrid Nilsen. Very powerful!
The point about staying humble was very well worded and well spoken, excellent video!
Favorite part of this video was about being Humble -A lot of ppl in prestigious careers don’t remember where they are coming from 😀🙏🏽👌🏽

Erram Tabasum did you take Clat?
Ted Led yes
Loved this video. So relatable. Thank You!💜

what are you planning on doing after law school?
Is it true you can't have tattoos or piercings if you want to practice? I have a small nose ring and a tattoo right above my breast. It can be covered but it also peaks through occasionally. Do you think this would prevent me from getting past the interviews?
This veido is really nice and well made. Thank you for this. I'm currently in highschool and I really want to be a immigration/human rights lawyer.
ah this video was really good!
I love you. Thank you so much for this.
Good thing being a lawyer is to other I'm a lawyer.
