Hi Brady: Law school involves a lot of reading and analyzing. Frankly your major does not matter all that much. Law school honestly teach you a new way of thinking. I heard that and didn't believe it until I went to law school. Lawyers come in all shapes and sizes. Some like to do tax stuff in an office; some lawyers like to be involved in sports stuff; some like looking at patents all day. The choice is yours. I was a civil trial lawyer in NYC. I liked being in court but did not like criminal stuff. So Brady, at this point find a major you like, get good grades and keep an open mind. Law school is a tough road. The old story, the first year they scare you, the second year work you and third year bore you. So go have fun. Good luck!

Hi Brady,
Law school requires balance. You need to manage your time well and study all materials, including extras. Extra credit can be crucial for success. Focus on analyzing and understanding case law, decisions, descriptions, and dissenting opinions. Improve your reading and application skills for scenario analysis. Also, keep your writing skills sharp.
Good luck!
