Law school or regular college. Gen Z lack one major component to succeeding in life or college. That word is "Discipline".

interesting to compare the US law school system with what we have in France
confused about something, at the beginning of the video, the professor said she was an english major at college, is law school not college? do you have to go through college to get to law school?

I'm in my last year of high school and I'm interested in law school but I don't have money so it would be just a dream to join law school 😂😂

"Law and logic have nothing in common". This is why I'm here, so I can understand how I became a victim of a state statute that put me in prison for 20 years that I believe was based on misinterpretation or miswritten by legislators.

A couple “accidentally” getting married in Vegas after getting drunk is still a legally binding contract. It can be annulled but the contract is still legitimate.

Can we all agree this speaker is so down to earth and as an academic: she plays perfectly on the student teacher role as well as the person who genuinely wants to learn. 🎉🎉🎉bravo. all around. Lmk if you feel different and why?!!

I’m in a paralegal class.. aka lesser law school. I fully agree with this woman. She obviously is well read and truly loves education. I hope to become an attorney someday but first and foremost is love. If you love law persue it, I’d you love medicine; become a doctor. I’m torn between the stuffy philosopher and the well attired lawyer. This speaker showed me that “man”/“woman” can be more than a profession. May the gods or god bless you all who read. 😊

We need less people working in law we need less attorneys. This industry is meant to exist when humanity is not living up to its potential . . bottom feeders.

I'm a journeyman electrician and thanks to my local police department and a wrongfully accused felonious charge, I've decided to get my BA and go to law school at 40 years old. I'm a pro se litigant and filled a federal action in district court against those involved. I was recently indicted and just served my motion for Discovery to the court and prosecutor. My father was a police officer and he couldn't stand cops who take advantage of ppls ignorance to the law.

Virginia Law is already boring me. It seems like my undergraduate International Business class. UT Law starts you on day 1 having a minimum of 10 cases. You had to actually spent the day your received your acceptance studying. This tells me there are too many useless attorneys and liberal judges are proof.

Race must always be considered a variable. Critical Race Theory in legal education is significant because it provides a framework for understanding how race and racism are embedded in laws, policies, and institutions, challenging the notions of a neutral legal system and encouraging a more critical examination of legal history and its impact on marginalized communities. Moreover, CRT, is an academic and legal framework that denotes that systemic racism is part of our society--from education and housing to employment and healthcare. Derrick Bell originated CRT in 1989 as an academic and civil rights attorney as the first tenured African American professor at Harvard Law School. Bell authored Faces at The Bottom of The Well among other literary works. The black letter of the law is evident, however the spirit of the law has yet to be fulfilled.
