Gone are the days when one should get a JD "because it's a good degree to have." Back when a lot of my mentors were in law school, tuition was a fraction of what it is now. Now, a JD is a good degree to have if and only if you have a calling to prac…

For one, October is not your last chance for this cycle. So rest assured on that point. Furthermore, it is definitely possible to improve on LG in the next two months. If you're serious about October, it's time to walk away from the drills and PT/B…

A little more than a year ago ... I met a woman who was in her mid-30's after having had a successful career in a lobbyist who was a 2L. I remember looking up local law schools and wondering if it would be possible for me. Once I left that job and l…

@Pacifico said: It's different for everyone... quit worrying about it and just put in the work and it will pay off.... do 2-3 PTs a week and you'll still have stuff left over in case October is batshit crazy... Yes. @c.janson35 said: The only th…

You might check Airbnb as well, if cost is an issue. But really, it might be nice to be in a hotel the night before the test ... Distractions etc at home eliminated, and the whole thing might be more of a fun adventure that way!

@DumbHollywoodActor I know someone who is now a successful LA trial lawyer who went to Southwestern. He's doing just fine and goes to court on the regular (which is really what you want to do as a trial lawyer). I think the key point is that we all…

@harrismegan said: Today... I wrote and scored a 161. 110% burnout. This is the exact kind of drop in score I've seen (went from a 174 to a 165 in July ... a score I hadn't seen since March). I had a similar experience—that my head was just extra…

@Pacifico said: Taking an untimed PT is not the best use of your time because in my opinion you gain a lot more from seeing how your brain works on timed tests, why and how you make confidence errors, and what gaps really exist in your skill set. …

@bruno.dalsanto said: ...so do you think I should just spend the $100+ to buy the drilling packages or just download all the PT's by themselves? This is a tough call. I'm gonna go ahead and say that if you think you might at any point want to be…

That's the video @"Nilesh S" used to post!

@juan_name I assume you're not using the Pomodoro method for timed PT's?
