i did testmasters on recommendation. nothing else, and i didnt do any exercises in my own time unless i had trouble with a particular question type on a practice test. the course lasted maybe ten weeks. kind of expensive but it was worth it for me cause i wouldnt have studied otherwise lol.


take a practice test before you sign up. logical reasoning you can improve, and logic games are pretty easy to perfect, but if you do bad on reading comprehension just give up.

I'm sorry but Natural Law is the true measure of Jurisprudence

[Anonymous No.11497237]

I was considering academic philosophy, but had second thoughts when:
>a respected (tenured) professor asked me to check out an Andrea Dworkin book for him, so that he could write a half-hearted essay on it
>a respected (Catholic) professor told me that it would be very hard-going to get a professorship as a white man today who wants to study metaphysics, without devoting your career to Islamic and/or gender philosophies
I still love philosophy, but now am considering pre-law. Is there a field of law that specializes in the interpretation of old constitutional documents — maybe tort law? I am American, which means that constitutional law ≈ Constitutional law.

This guy is more or less correct, but my experience was to the contrary with the games in that I always lost the most points there. Everything else was a breeze, got into law school with 167 after scoring close to 175 on average in practice, so assume you won't do as well in the test as on the practice test. With 165, you can basically get in most schools with some form of scholarship. I will tell you I have already dropped out because the LSAT is absolutely useless in reference to the coursework, and the classroom environment is useless for anything but bolstering the autistic teacher's ego. Legal work itself is almost entirely pointless reading and pointless writing to satisfy the arbitrary whims of a fat, repressed monkey in the office/courtroom/police station, or the equally arbitrary whims of one of a line of his predecessors. Go if you want to do corporate law or other high-paying bitchwork, but otherwise, law school is not a place for smart people but rather smart parrots.

Nobody thinks it's about philosophy here. Most people just want a paycheck. The rest are lefties who see impact litigation/joining the 'deep state' as good praxis, and maybe there's one libertarian in FedSoc who strongly believes in textualism as a panacea for bureaucratic inefficiency.

only worth going to law school if you get into yale, harvard, or stanford. otherwise it's a bust and not worth the stress (hys don't have grading and it's impossible to fail out) and generally law school is filled with terrible ppl.

you need to have expectations going in...
if you are in it to "help people" - lmao. enjoy being nearly 200k in debt and making only 40-50k a year and being treated like garbage.

on the other hand, if you're in it for the money it can make sense...

going to any school in the top 6 will almost guarantee big-law, where you will wage-slave for around 200k starting (it's 190k now starting without bonus for many top firms). like i said, 200k in debt, but can be paid off in a couple years. after that, you burn out and try going in-house for half the pay but better hours.

that's the trajectory for most decent lawyers. anyone outside t14 is probably doomed unless top of the class.

actually Osgoode Hall is for the borderline retarded, LGBT++, and affirmative action liberal arts majors who think they actually go to a good law school despite getting in with a 3.4 and 158

the only respectable law schools in this country are U of T and McGill

Very easily. Stress gets to you and you are too paranoid to do other drugs.

Not really. They don't teach you how to write very well. It'll be a shitty powerpoint and then a professor with their own opinions will give you some shitty edits. People's writing skills coming into law school define how good a writer they are. Some of the people who were engineers or economics majors struggle. People who don't shitpost or didn't have a job that required writing or anything like that are shit out of luck. Even on journal you're only a cog editing others writing, doing the minimal amount of work. The paper you have to write for journal has barely any feedback until you submit it and then YOUR work is what other's in your place edit.
ALSO ANYONE TAKING THE BAR TOMORROW GET THE FUCK OFF 4CHAN. GO TO BED.

yet you cannot refute the title, nor can you say that Osgoode doesn't have essentially the same employment networks and connections to the big shots in downtown if you have the merit

At the end of the day what does the law school want to do...make money....you can go to law school for almost anything these days.

Anyways U or T / McGill - I will admit these places generally rank higher in University reviews. There is really marginal difference in any event and the most important thing in all cases is your personal merit and ability because all these law schools regardless are hooked into the top firms and places people want to go to

reminder: lawyers are the most obviously evil of the classic professional caste, you will always repulse people viscerally. Anyone who doesn’t find associating with you distasteful is as bad, without being sullied by law school and gaming the job market for legal professionals, or possibly significantly more evil. I would if i were you, probably consider another vocation because despite the immense potential for social status and wealth, you never shake off that you are a snake manipulator of logos and have done nothing but perpetuate the encroachment of technocapital on the biome. Its up to you anon i do not make the rules.

Was Hobbes idea's based more in natural law in the sense that humans have innate actions or was he more a proto-classical positivist following command theory?

originalism v. living document has been done to death, and there's no point discussing it because we all know that its fundamentally political. Same with Textualism vs. Legislative Intent.

Read Holmes' The Common Law and you're done. If you're interested in policy study something else.

This. This is why law generals should start of with a more clear focus on legal philosophy in order to keep out the school obsessed Americans.

[Anonymous No.11521370]

I'm still angry. That burger eating fat cunt thinks the whole subject of Philosophy of Law can be subsumed into a subsect of legal interpretation. This why we should bully them out of this type of threads. What do they have to offer really? "Muh Carl Schmitt"? And they don't even talk about Schmittian constitutionalism but rather about Schmittian ideas on Political Science. These mongs have nothing worthy to share to the discussion of Jurisprudence.

Pretty much this. It's a sad indictment of the American legal profession where people care more about who you were at the time you started law school than who you are after you finished it.

This is why overseas lawyers laugh at Americans.

If you gave a shit about becoming a lawyer you would just apply and not question it online. Only someone with doubt of their future makes 0L posts like this.

To my utter amazement about six months ago I qualified as bong lawyer. We have a split profession here - I'm the one that start a with B.
To all of you still studying, it's fucking worth it.
