-Acing Your First Year of Law School (already read it, it's pretty good)
-Law 101: Everything You Need to Know About American Law. Written for the layperson, I don't think it will prepare me for law school but at least it will give me a basic understanding of the first year courses. (just started it)
-Thinking Like a Lawyer: A New Introduction to Legal Reasoning
-Getting To Maybe: How to Excel on Law School Exams
-Examples & Explanations: Civil Procedure, Seventh Edition
-The Law of Torts: Examples & Explanations, 4th Edition
-I'm also going to do LEEWS
I'm going to have to wait to find out what other class I'll take in my first semester before I know the third E&E book to read. I'm also not reading them to memorize them because I know my classes won't go over 100% of the material. Plus, from what the first book on my list said, I need to worry more about how holdings can affect future cases with similar facts rather than substantive stuff (although substantive info is still very important).
Other than the reading I'm just binge watching shows, playing video games, and strength training.

Geez putting me to shame as a gunner.

Ambitious? Yes, but nothing wrong with a challenge.
Haha... already got that covered! Don't want to get those collections calls while at school!cricketlove00 wrote:Try to pay off my credit cards.
I already started on this haha good plan! But I don't know where you heard news about the new one?drawstring wrote:I may reapply, but for now:

5. Read GTM, but that's it for the gunner stuff
6. Beat each Zelda WII game again (new one coming out soon too!)
I've seen some people on forums say it's helpful to read E&Es, but some say it's pointless. I think the main argument that it's pointless is that professors won't go over the entire book and that different professors teaching the same course will go over different parts of the casebook. The main reason I'm reading them is because I graduated in December so I have a ton of free time to blow. On a different note, from what I've heard G2M is the most productive thing you can read. Also, while I haven't read Thinking Like a Lawyer: A New Introduction to Legal Reasoning yet, from what I've heard the book should prepare me for the Socratic teaching method.Captain Rodeo wrote:I'm reading G2M as well when I have time. Also, want to do EEs- but don't know how feasible (or even useful) this will be.
Who here is reading (or planning to read) the EEs?
ETA: Obviously besides you ColdToes. I don't count you. You're crazy.
The creators are going to show footage of the game and talk a bit about it at E3 in June, and that's when the release date gets announced. I'm thinking it's around December.Gary wrote:I already started on this haha good plan! But I don't know where you heard news about the new one?drawstring wrote:I may reapply, but for now:
