#Law School Exams

[rochenn]

The Jedi Order mainly being an institution about teaching makes me sad that we never see more "Jedi classes" outside of the popular ones like martial arts, healthcare and Force wackery.

Alongside basic language and science education etc there have to be at least some trade and college courses on offer, right? The Jedi need a bunch of their own people with law degrees. Proper pedagogy studies for future crèchemasters. Cooks. Managers. All types of engineers. Electricians. Accountants. Researchers. How many Jedi hold a doctorate or professorate? Because I think a large number of them do. Their databanks are filled with millennia of dissertations. You can still find Yoda's articles from 500 years ago and cite them in your history research paper.

The Order just having its own micro-economy going on and every member getting their own regular job education next to all the lightsaber swinging adventures... pls

In the thick of finals fighting for my life 😩

If anyone needs me I’ll be memorizing the elements of every tort ever…

at the end of the day it's just me, my unfinished syllabus and academic stress

[uglycryinglawyer]

heyyy tumblr,

class of 2024 law student here. no offense but you know things are bad when i take it to tumblr. law school really does something to your psyche and i hate to say it but despite this whole movement on social media to be more transparent, i don't believe anyone will be completely honest about their experience when their words can be traced back to them. being believable as 100% genuine & honest while being anything less than to followers that cling to every syllable of yours does more damage than good imo.

ill start this page with some honesty that i would label as a 6/10 on the "how embarrassed would i be if someone from my post-grad job were to see this" scale i just made up.

my first semester i felt like the smartest version of myself i had ever been because i got 1 online award from a fake company (seriously what business does this "computer-assisted legal education" company have hosting awards for schools around the country & why are they receiving our grades to begin with) for having the highest grade in my class. mind you, this company/award is not at ALL affiliated with my school, its literally made up. but its something that is made PUBLIC (as in if you knew my name you could google me and this stupid award shows up), and so many schools still acknowledge it to, idk, create further divisions between students that i guess the whole system of making everyones grades 100% based on their finals and curved (not in a good way) doesn't do enough for?

now here i am, having finished my 6th semester & walked the commencement stage a few days ago ugly crying over a grade because i might have just lost my honors status. when in actuality .... ~ kim, there are people that are dying ~ why does any of this matter?? this is what 6 semesters of slowly having your confidence in your own intelligence chipped away at does to a person.

its not over yet though - bar prep starts last week :). actually it starts on may 20th officially, but no ones being honest about the fact that they really started studying the day after their finals ended, if not earlier.

so i've decided to document my experience for you all here. with bar prep & my foray into big law (you know this field was meant for babies because that's what we unsarcastically call a career at a top law firm) on the horizon, & 6 semesters of pure chaos behind me, i have a lot to say!

im not sure who this is going to reach because, again no offense tumblr, but i doubt this site has the reach it once did. maybe this will just end up being a time capsule for myself, which i would love. or maybe this will help 1 person cope, which i would love even more.

regardless, if you read this far, thank you & tttys. going to throw some random hashtags in now don't mind me.

in life updates: decided to enroll in a notoriously difficult class this semester. civil law is my achilles heel, and i also wanted to force myself into better study habits and time management. last week, i took the midterm and braced myself for a fail: despite improvements in the way i prepared for class and spoke during cold calls, i'd still been struggling over the semester. after the exam ended, i went and checked the schedule for dropping classes. one week later. dear reader, i passed.

My exam prep just started, and all of a sudden, I am not quite as interested in academia as I was before

[plrle]

We need some high school camille and robespierre art (pretty please?)

here you go! i don't know whether you wanted like modern high school Camille and Robespierre or them at their, uh, high school ages, so i ended up drawing both. :]

what are they laughing at? :]

Did you know that in South Carolina, you didn't have to pass the bar to practice law until Black Americans started graduating from law schools?

[strugglinglawstudentsblog]

Trust me, I don't care if you're a STEM student, fellow law, humanities, whatever. There are only two kinds of playlists to study to (and these are my secret weapons for focus, I'm talking the gospel here) 1. video game soundtracks (they're literally made for focus, but also more fun than just binaural beats) and 2. the Succession soundtrack (it's not made specifically for focus but it will scratch your serious academic energy craving mind

I went into this exam with good vibes, no knowledge, and ao3 on my mind and somehow the exam was great

I should do this more often

[selfhelpforstudents]

Good morning, beautiful friends,

It’s my last day before the semester starts again! I can’t wait. Some professors have already uploaded slides, so I will be starting to study at around 8 pm.

I visited this beautiful library again. It is so breathtakingly gorgeous!

To do list for today:

Work on my project “SchoolStainability”

Work on my tasks for the sustainabily group for the G20 summit in New Delhi

Memorize the first slide deck of Business Ethics (and order my professor’s book on Climate Ethics because I’m super interested in that)

Follow my Instagram to fight procrastination.

“Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, / Healthy, free, the world before me, / The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.” —Walt Whitman

Today I wrote my last final exam, and my first year of law school has come to a close. I’m so filled with love and joy and hope I barely know what to do with myself. Cheers to the open road ahead.

[californianedgeworth]

Edgeworth becoming a lawyer at 20 and Franiziska becoming a lawyer at 13, with about a 7 year age difference between them... that implies they passed the bar exam in the same year

did they take the same exam? did 20 year old Edgeworth drive his tween prodigy sister to take the bar exam with him? and before that, did he drive her to the same law school they both went to every day? did they compete to see who would pass the bar first? and when they both passed and tied, Franziska definitely still held the fact that she got it at 13 over him. "What were you doing at 13, little brother? Not passing the bar, ha, embarrassing." wtf are the implications of this
