una kong trabaho dati sa legal department. naaalala ko dati yung boss kong abogada dinadala-dala lang nya sa opisina tuwing sabado yung grade 1 nyang anak. binibigyan ko pa ito ng kendi madalas. ngayon nakapasa na sa board 3 years ago si ineng at isa na rin syang abogada. hayyy how time flies.

1. Be fluent in English. There's no going around it, ito ang medium ng usapan and career mo. This is not only reading/vocabulary, pero pronunciation and charisma din.

2. READ READ READ! Walang shortcuts. Whether may background sa pre-law or not, same playing field lang kayo pag-pasok sa law school. The questions and analysis na hinihingi nila ay nakukuha lang sa matinding pag-aaral.

3. Use sources! Refer to the SCRAs for annotated reviews on their decisions and the legal questions being addressed. Useful siya in building defenses and how you reason in class/court. You could also use annotated Civil Code and other books by authors such as Paras and Bernas for their insight on each provision and mga related cases. Minsan nag-iinsert din sila ng mga Bar questions and review.

4. Have a support group. Sobrang stressful and you need a circle to lean back on. These are your family and friends. They also have to understand (especially kung may bf/gf) that you won't have time for them the next few years because of the discipline you need to exert in your studies, and kung tunay na mahal ka nila, they'll be loyal and supportive from the sidelines.

Some Important Things to remember


1. Prepare for the so called "Socratic Method" eto yung walang lecture, puro recitations lang kaya prepare your materials as always.


2. Mahalin mo ang kape, kung medyo sossy ka, anjan and starbucks. Swerte ng makatulog ka ng 6 hrs per day.


3. Remember na it's a jungle game without rules sa law school, and daming possibilities na di mo magegets bakit ka bumagsak or kung swerte ka eh bakit ka nakalusot? what's important is you know that all possible preparations were made.


4. In the end walang kapalit yung feeling ng seeing yourself on the passing list. That was the time that all sacrifices would be worth it :-)

sabi  nga nila...

1) good english
2) good handwriting
3) good memory

pero some professors prefer the "logical" type of student rather than the "kabisote" ones...yung tipong tatanungin ka ng hyphothetical questions in relation dun sa topic nyo...

ayaw na nila ng de-kahon sumagot, gusto nila yung nag-iisip at naiintindihan yung topics sa lessons...
