Best tools for navigating law school and building a legal career? Forum

[sam80]

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I find myself a bit overwhelmed with the sheer number of tools and resources available to us as law students, especially when it comes to managing study schedules, preparing for exams, and even applying for internships or post-graduation positions.
At the moment, I’m in my first year and starting to realise how important it is to have a solid system in place. From what I’ve heard, there are various apps and platforms that can help with everything from LSAT prep to organising CVs and securing interviews. But, naturally, I’m unsure where to begin. I’d love to avoid wasting time on things that aren’t actually that useful.
For instance, when it comes to preparing for the LSAT or just managing coursework, do any of you have recommendations for software or study tools that helped you get through the grind? And, looking ahead, in terms of securing internships or finding work after law school, are there any particular platforms or resources you found indispensable?

Any guidance or insight on this would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance for your advice!

Just to add a quick follow-up to my previous post,

While looking around for productivity tips and ways to stay organized as a law student, I came across FounderJar. It's not law-specific, but it does offer a lot of practical advice on time management, productivity tools, and setting up efficient workflows, stuff that’s definitely relevant when juggling classes, readings, and long-term planning like internships or job applications.

Figured it might be worth sharing here in case anyone else is in the same boat, trying to build a system that works without getting buried in options.

Would still love to hear what’s worked best for you all, especially tools tailored to legal studies!
