Things I Learned in my First Semester of Law School
Things they didn’t teach me in class
I haven’t written here in awhile. I took a bit of a break. Writing true crime was pretty draining for me and I lost access to my ADHD meds.
Eventually, I decided I’d go to law school. I’d planned it since 2018 and I managed to get accepted with a full ride.
I finished my last final yesterday, and I felt I could make an article for people considering law school who don’t know if they want to. But this will be a bit different from other “what you need to know” articles about law school. These are things I learned that no one told me.
So without further ado:
It ain’t that deep your first semester. You’ll be okay.
The first semester IS the hardest, and you’ll get this hammered in over and over again at orientation and on whatever you look up online. But I’m going to tell you a secret.
If you try, you’ll do fine. If you study, you’ll be okay.
It takes effort to fail a law school exams at reputable schools. Generally, you’re in competition with other students for the highest grades, and you don’t have much control over your final grade because a lot of it depends on how other students do.
