Read Law like a chad. Law School is for fags.

I did, but not in the US.
Practice case study exams.
Read your shit, but more to memorize where to find the answer than memorizing the content.
Find yourself a study group. Pooling your notes together can really help.
Depending on the legislature, your jurisprudence might be 3~4 times the same text written by different folks, with the judge's decision and notes at the end. Reading obliquely is a good skill to develop.
Disregard fools, Law School were the greatest years of my life.

Thanks friend. Do you work as a lawyer now or did you use your degree for something else?

I am about to finish law school, although in Germany. If you don't have a genuine interest in law, I wouldn't do it. If I think about how much time and energy I've invested in studying fucking administrative law sitting in libraries surrounded by cunts instead of reading poetry and running through the fields in the South of France I could literally cry.

On the other hand you do learn a lot and obtain a good set of analytical skills. I would take some test classes before though, because it's a long ride. I thought I would learn to speak well and construct stunning arguments, but I haven't, so that's that.

Also law school but not US. The bad things you've heard are undoubtedly about the difficulty, which is fine if you cultivate proper reading habits. Law school is a lot of content, but the difficulty ONLY occurs if you skim read.

This is honestly the number one thing that blows my mind when discussing assignments and legislation with other students. Just read any documents you're assigned top to bottom. Top. To. Bottom. Don't skip to what you think is relevant for the exam, don't ctr-f the subsection you want to look at. There are obviously variations and exceptions when you get heaped with stacks of cases, but everything the uni hands you about assignments, syllabus dotpoints and topics, read it well.

Never bothered with the bar, got hired at the Crown Council desk, I'm a glorified call center supervisor, cops call me when they think they've fucked up, most of the time, its above my pay grade (although it's always super fucking simple, just rules gotta be followed) and I get either a Crown or a Judge to call back and handle it instead.
Obviously the pay isn't that great but I've got less than 10k of school debts left to pay off, it is steady work, and it is hilariously lazy. I'm at work now. Before checking the board I had been painting since the beginning of my shift.
I'll eventually go get my bar done, but right now I'm enjoying being lazy as fuck.
