What kind of backpack/bag/briefcase is best for law school? Forum

[efeinste]

Do law students use backpacks? What makes most sense for carrying stuff? Are there other small purchases you had to make for law school, say, for organizational purposes, i.e., things that are not obvious but that have nonetheless proved significant to your performance? Haven't come across any threads dealing with this. If there are any, please post the links.

Yeah, all those heavy books make this a must.

I dragged my old undergrad backpack out of the closet.

It's an ugly green trailmaker.

If you don't look like you're about to board a flight to Denver, you're doing it wrong.

This. This right here. If there was a dictionary entry for TLS, it would be this.

It's exactly like UG/HS/MS/ES. Really.

I use the same bookbag I had during UG. If you were never a very organized person, like me, you probably won't need any organizational tools, just do what you did in UG. Since some important stuff pops up every now and then I just have a dry erase calendar in my room that I update with stuff I need to know, that's about it.

You have to have a rolly backpack. You have to.

I like tote bags. But they really can't carry that much before the handles break.

I like Swiss Army bags. A Con Law book and a Civ Pro book in the same backpack might break a lesser one.
