Plan B

The new school year is just about upon us. Students across the United States will be back in classes in seven days, including yours truly. This week, as I wind down the very final days of summer and try to get back into the school mind-set, I have been spending some time considering my classmates. [...]

Here we are, halfway through July, and for some of you it is less than a month away from THE START OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. Yep, for students starting 1L in mid to late August, we are officially in the seventh inning stretch. On the other hand, for those of us soon to [...]

Ah summer, so full of warm weather and relative freedom. (Unless you’re taking an LSAT course… then it’s so full of warm weather and THE BEST TEST EVER!) However, this week’s post is not as much for the current LSAT takers, as it is for my friends who will be joining me as 1Ls at [...]

First off, congratulations to everyone who just recently took that pesky little LSAT. Don’t worry, with a few minor exceptions, the worst is behind you… now it’s time to sit back and- wait. As you settle into one of the longest waits of your life, you may be wondering if you will ever again use [...]

Ah yes, 1L is done. Finished. Every final has been submitted, every paper written. My grades are in the hands of God, and I’ve started my summer internship. It has been a long journey, indeed.

World, rejoice. The new season of Glee has returned to our televisions. Which not only means that entertainment journalists across the country have an excuse to use the term “Gleek” again (get it?), but for an hour a week I can indulge my weakness for pop music remixes, impossible plot lines, and a world where [...]

My mission of providing LSAT students with the insider information they are dying to know about law school continues this week. Except I unfortunately ran out of topics to write about. Luckily, I’m tenacious, so to solve the problem I solicited my number one commenter, James Swift, to sit down and talk (aka GChat) with [...]

So this week I continue with my glorious little tidbits to give you a taste of what awaits you in the legal world. Last week I shared with you some information about what you can expect in Civil Procedure, Torts and Criminal Law and this week I continue with the next three: Contracts, Property and [...]

There is a good chance that if you are reading this and waiting on those final admission decisions, you still don’t know exactly what you are getting yourself into. You have vague dreams of a corner office and using the phrase “your honor”, but are not quite sure what the years between now and then [...]
