Law School - Make it Just 2-years!!!

Imagine getting a JD within 2-years. Good?

Sounds good to me. Especially if it means paying less tuition (one-year's worth of tuition less!). 

But how realistic is it? Especially when the top schools, like Harvard and Yale aren't on board? 

Northwestern Law school has a 2-year accelerated program. But it's designed for non-traditional students who have been on the professional track (ibankers; private equity stars; etc.). 

Anyhow, I wanted to quickly share this article with you guys (see here). The article speaks on the 2-year law school issue. 

If you ask for my LSAT 2-cents...I really don't think it's gonna become a fad anytime soon. :)

LSAT around the corner

The LSAT is just around the corner. The most common email questions I receive these days:

"Dave, the heck can I do to bump my score just a few more points?"

My response has always been the same for the last 10 years.

"Get good rest. Don't wig out by studying like a mad person. Get good rest. Don't suddenly amp up your study hours. Get good rest."

Being well rested can mean a difference of 3 points. On a good day you may score a 153, whereas on the same exact test taken during a bad day you may score a 150.

So if you're concerned about ensuring that you gain just a few more points (or NOT lose just a few points), then be sure to GET GOOD REST.

Quantifiers | Give me "some some"

Some means at least 1 or more (all the way up to 100%).

Weird, huh? But that's the definition of some on the LSAT. Don't fight it. The sooner you accept this truth/theory, the better off you'll be on the LSAT.
