Best Advice on Law School
Three things. One: You only have one job your first year and that is to study and do the best you can. Find one non-law related hobby and do it regularly whether it is going to the gym, learning salsa, etc. Whatever you choose should serve as your release valve from all things law. Two: Do not worry about what others are doing. It does not matter if someone has already briefed all the cases in the entire textbook before the first day of class. Good for that person. You just do what works for you and only worry about yourself. Three: Stay in contact with non-law friends.
