Just finished torts practice exam.

I have a long way to go.

My organization is atrocious and I need to be way way more succinct.

do you take notes in the margins / mini outline?

I put notes in the margins. I need to put together an outline, I think. I may just do it on the laptop and then fill it in once I start. This is the first PT I've ever taken, so at least I recognize that there's a problem.

Good news is that there was no shortage of things to talk about. (we had an abbreviated hypo.) But I would write for a good while about a particular claim and then move on, only to realize later that there was a whole issue (and sometimes several) that I hadn't touched related to that claim.

I have not even taken a full length practice exam, except for my crim law mid-term. I think I am going to start that tomorrow with a K practice exam and a torts practice exam. Does anyone have torts practice exams with model answers? There is literally none from any professor at my school.

Bros, practice exams are important. But make sure you know how to write like a lawyer first. Paragraphs, paragraph, paragraph. Headings/subheadings. I don't need to tell you this.

Eating dinner. 6 more hours to go, team. I fucking love this.

Yeah I need to figure out how to organize. I'm just going to ask my prof what he wants.

How long do you guys think a 4 hour torts exam answer should be?

I typed for about an hour and produced roughly 6-7 pages double spaced.

About to clock in for the evening shift. Eating dinner first and then going to crank some Civ Pro out. I have my legal writing conference tomorrow with my professor so I can put that to bed on Wednesday. I am shooting to have my reading for the semester done by Friday night and then my outlines done by Sunday.

I would still be interested in seeing the Torts Flow Chart if it has been produced yet. I have an Estates (Present / Future Interest) Flow chart I can send for those in need.

CSWS! GRIND!

Is it just me, or is this not painful at all? I kind of enjoy the intense studying.

I'm applying the same mindset I use towards my weight training. I love this pain. I live for this shit.

Same here, brah.

Obsessed is a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated.

I absolutely agree. What is wrong with being obsessed with law school? People react like I'm obsessed and stalking a girl or something.

I finished Torts a while back but I notice a huge gap in knowledge since I finished. I'm wondering if it's because it's not ingrained in my head as much as it would be if I had class on it. How do you plan to combat this? I'm looking to finish my readings by this weekend as well.

That's what I'm worried about. Ima E&E all the subjects we've yet to hit in my classes (so I can take practice exams now) and still read along with my class.

Well, Im done with Con Law, so what I did was OL it for the year based on what I knew, and now i take the OL to class and mark it up while we talk about each topic. I feel like its an advantage (for me, at least) to learn the material from the book, attempt to synthesize it, and then learn it again in class. I actually feel like im "getting" that class better than the others, because i feel like I always know whats coming next. YMMV

Good luck to all the warriors today. CSWS
