Law school prep courses are a waste of money and time. All professors are very different and quirky. There are some similarities because professor use the Socratic method. Otherwise a broad based course is nothing more than money down the drain.

You dont need to know how to write well. If you can write: See spot run. Spot is running. Then you will do very well.

Best forum to lean about law school: toplawschoolforum

+10.

These things prey on nervous students who think if they spend money on prep they will do better. Don't do it. Study, pay attention and you'll be fine.

Nice plug, but who are you and what qualifies you to answer questions?

Don't mean that it in a mean way, your forum looks like a great idea actually.

Thanks - no hard feelings taken.
I am someone who went through the system and learned all the ins and outs. After 8 years of working at a great job I could have only gotten thanks to my two degress (Bachelors and Masters - which I obtained in a total of 3 years) and Boruch Hashem to good investing decisions, I am able to learn in Kollel for most of every day.

There was no resource out there to help people navigate university, and many heimishe people were wasting a lot of money and time in the system. This prompted someone I know to start this website, and he recently contacted me to help out on the forums, to which I gladly said I would.

All suggestions/advice/tips are welcome and appreciated!

Very cool. Good luck with the forum! Hopefully I'll help out when I have some free time.

You know you can edit posts within a certain amount of time since your last post?  You dont need to ask a question on his question and answer your own question in a different post.  Just sayin
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Need to write a Brief on a contract case. How do I find NJ court cases online, NJ judiciary seems to only post a handful of recent ones.
Better yet would be if legal briefs were available somehow... ;)
