What Every 1L Needs to start law school
Hi All,
This week we are addressing a common summer question for those of you entering law school this fall - what do I need for law school???
Physical Items:
1. Tech - a lightweight laptop is a necessity. Many law students also opt for tablets for note taking, scheduling, planning, and more.
2. Noise cancelling headphones - these are a must to help you concentrate and get through long study sessions.
3. Portable charger - this will ensure that no matter where you are sitting in the library you are charged and ready to go.
4. Traditional back-to-school essentials - sticky notes, pens, and highlighters are a classic law school staple.
5. School bag - you should get something study and comfortable to carry around all of your essentials.
6. Study templates from our Etsy shop! Use code LWLPOD for 15% your entire purchase.
Things to consider as you begin law school:
1. Familiarize yourself with the curriculum by reviewing the structure, schedule, assignments, and required reading.
2. Develop strong reading and analytical skills.
3. Understand the Socratic method.
4. Create a study schedule.
5. Utilize your school’s available resources.
6. Build a strong network.
7. Improve your legal writing skills.
8. Stay organized and manage stress intentionally.
9. Embrace a growth mindset.
10. Remember your goals.
Have a great 1L year!
