Love seeing all the earnest #1Ladvice and comparing it to the #3Ladvice from a friend of mine: only take classes that end in “and the law” (Movies and the Law, Literature and the Law...)
Yes, come to law school to become a lawyer for Greenpeace, leave with a BigLaw job writing motions for Dow/DuPont opposing class certification (YMMV)
Actually, my #3Ladvice is: 1) take bar classes if failing the bar is a legitimate concern (which depends on your grades, your test-taking savvy, and what state you are taking
2) take some classes relevant to your future practice area, but also
3) take some interesting classes you might not otherwise take, whether that’s an “and the law” class or something else. As a 3L I took two First Amendment classes (very different, one doctrinal and one about ideas) and a great Critical Race Theory class.
4) Don’t do this to be a slacker and ramp up your day drinking. It’s your last chance to be a student (probably) and learn something new and different.
5) and, as always, take the Professor, not the class
