Hello repapipz

May balak kasi ako pumasok sa Law school dito sa pinas. Ako ay walang background sa law dahil ang course na natapos ko ay isang engineering. Di ko alam pero bakit im am internally motivated knowing na mag aaral ako ng Law..

Any tips kung paano ko mahuhurdle ang course ko nato? Im working also at hindi ko kaya i full time ang pag aaral ng Law.

Meron bang ninja moves or efficient tips para sa magiging Law student na tulad ko.

Thanks po

sa una mahirap talaga. mag aadjust ka pa kasi sa demand ng time at effort na ibibigay mo sa pag babasa ng makakapal na libro at mga kaso.

Pero habang tumatagal, matutunan mo na kung pano medyo mapadali ang pagaaral. Pero may mga panahon talaga na kukulangin ka sa tulog lalo na pag exam week.

Wala din akong background sa law nung pumasok ako pero halos ganon din naman e. kaunti lang advantage nung may mga law subjects. Mag kakapantay pantay din kayo pag tagal.

Kung hindi ka naman nagmamadali, ok lang yan na wag ka mag full load. Mas ok na yung sigurado kesa bumagsak ka sa isang subject at ulitin, hindi masarap umulit ng law subject.

Law stude rin ako, stop nga lang sa ngayon... Eto mga mabibigay ko na tips
Lay down your network- malaki tulong ng mga kaibigan. Bukod sa pasahan ng assignment kung dmo nakuha lahat, andyan rin pasahan ng resources gaya ng lectures, notes, audio, etc.

Wag pumasok ng d nakapag-aral - d ibig sabihin nito na di ka papasok. Dapat aral ka na bago ka pa pumasok ng school. Di uso spoon feeding sa law

Study hard AND study smart - bukod sa alamin ugali ng prof at hilig nya itanong, alamin mo dapat mo aralin. Halimbawa, sa crim law importante ang elements, pero may mga prof na talagang bubusisiin kung naintindihan mo ba talaga.

Find an outlet to relax - sobra stressful ang law, kaya dapat may outlet ka, or else mabilis ka mabburnout

Best of luck sayo kng tumuloy ka. :)

 8) kahit plano pa lang yan sir sa iyong part already deserves some congratulations... one must not be contented to what he has already achieved.. kaya hats off syo sir....

OT: My late dad is one perfect example of your status... he started as a BSE Major in English, married my mom and started a family.. he teached in a high school dept. while taking up law classes at night.. he passed the Bar Exams on his first attempt... he has lots of experiences joining a Law Associates and eventually put up his own law firm... during those times while being a lawyer, he was teaching Law subjects in the evening classes and eventually became one of the BAR reviewers...

in one of our candid moments, he talked about his experiences as a law student as well as being a college professor... living on a meager income he said must not hinder one's dream as long as you are properly equipped to achieve your goal... practice writing and speaking english at all times... mastering the english grammar is first and foremost your basic tool... there was a student of his whom he politely stopped and made to sit down while on graded recitation because of his 'carabao' english, he gave that whole  class some tips on how to become a good law student... good posture and clean living is another tip i gathered from him... good hygiene is tops... and of course, shaved moustache and beard... it's all about discipline he says... never stop reading law books, you have to be an avid reader, and 'syempre' try to keep abreast of today's current events... there is this magazines he mentioned to us before, he said try to peruse the TIME, NEWSWEEK and Reader's Digests, learn something on the way they use the english grammars there... the compositions...

and with those, i hope i have imparted a little... pursue your dreams TS and it shall reward you at the end...

Marami pong salamat sa inyong mga tips na naibigay. Take note ko lahat to.

Salamat sir jamesbond for sharing sa experience ng erpat mo, muka maraming pa akong kakainin bigas.. unlimited rice para matapos ko to lalo na hindi simplengbachelors of law ang papasukin ko kundi isang J.D. program. Eto lang kasi ang inooffer na course sa school kung saan nag wowork ang wife ko as faculty. Isa kasi to sa benefits ng aking asawa kaya eto ang aking napili para kunin.

Sa ngayon as preparation sa pagpasok ko, nagbabasa basa na ako ng legal issues or article. Sa simula nakakabaliw basahin dahil ang lalalim ng vocabulary ng isang legalese na nababasa ko. Pero sabi nga ni @saning basa lang ng basa para in the end masanay na aking sistema sa mga ganitong article.

Meron bang website kung saan makakabasa pa ng iba ibang case scenarios?

lawphil.net sir, andon mga kaso na nasa SCRA. kelangan mo lang yung title or GR # kung may hinahanp ka specific na kaso.

Kung matagal ka ng hindi pumasok sa school, ok lang yan, halos 10 years sinayang ko bago mag decide bumalik ng law school. hehehe.

Here are my tips.

1. Read the full text of the cases you will be assigned. Trust me, on the bar, that's what you'll remember, not the condensed version. So, assign a lot of time, learn to quickly read whatever you're assigned while keeping in mind the reason for the decision.

2. Its great if you can memorize, but, its not a requirement. Its better to understand the law instead of just repeating it word for word without comprehending it.

3. Eyes on the goal, which is passing the bar exam. You'll sacrifice a lot for it.

4. Learn to speak well, but write better.

5. Have a support group. Friends, girlfriend(s), family, etc. You'll need a way to de-stress.

Good luck future counsel.

PS. Signing the roll of attorneys is worth it.

Some tips on enrolling at a Law School:

1. Choose a law school and Pass the entrance exam;
2. No short cuts, read, read and read law books pa more;
3. Put a goal that no matter what, bumagsak ka man sa isa o higit pa na subjects o kahit ma kick out ka pa due to failure to meet the required average eh tuloy ka pa din sa pag enroll sa law school, pwede ka naman mag transfer kung sakaling ma kick out;
4. Learn to Pray;
5. Sacrifice (time, resources)

Tsk. Ako nagbabalak bumalik sa law. Sinubukan kong pumasok habang may trabaho, kaso.. di kinaya. Got kicked out due to low grades. I got the aptitude, but I didn't have the attitude. Not yet. Dun ko na-realize na there's no real shortcuts in law school but to be diligent and be prepared with the assigned cases.

 :book1:
Tips? Eto nakuha ko:
1. Pumasa ka muna sa isang Law School. Isang exam lang kinuha ko for law school, pinalad naman na pumasa. Para lang syang college entrance exam, pero mas may emphasis sa English (Verbal Communication, Reading Compre, Language Ability) and Logic. If di ka confident sa mga abilities mo sa mga subjects na yan, try mong mag-review class (costs range from 5-10k, 10 sessions).

 :book1:

2. Pasado na sa exam? Congrats! Welcome to hell! Pero.. As much as possible, try to read the whole case assigned to you, not just the digest. Maraming kulang-kulang na info sa digest, posibleng bopols yung gumawa nung digest na binabasa mo.. so mas maganda talaga kung yung case mismo ang nabasa mo. Maganda kung sasabayan mo sya ng pagbabasa ng annotations (tipong Reyes, Paras, Tolentino, Bernas.. makikilala mo yang mga yan pag nagaaral ka na) para mas maintindihan mo yung principles na inaaral dun sa case.

 :book1:

3. Shore up your English and Public Speaking skills. Sabi nila, eto ang pinaka-importante sa law school. Sabi nila, mga English-related courses ang may huge advantage sa law school. Not Philo, not PolSci, not Econ, not Legal Management. Eto rin weakness ko nun, nasasabon ako ng prof ko nun kasi di ko mai-discuss nang maayos yung case. Pautal-utal ako mag-English, ta's magsasalita pa sa harap ng mga kaklase?! Nakaka-panic. So now I've been practicing in speaking in English with my misis. Nakaka-conscious, pero kelangan talaga e.

 :book1:

4. Join a study group and be nice to your groupmates. I know study groups are not for everyone.. may mga kaklase ako dati na mas magaling pag sila-sila lang ang nag-aaral, but don't underestimate the study groups. Malayo ang maaabot ng tulungan sa pag-aaral.. lalu na't pag recit ta's di mo alam ang sagot, usually mga study groupmates mo nagraradyo na ng sagot (or TV, kung ipad ang gamit). Sila din usually ang magiging support group mo sa law school.

 :book1:

5. Matutong mag-sakripisyo. Sa law school maraming marami kang babasahin. AS IN SOBRANG DAMI. Tipong isang araw you'll have to read an average of 500 pages worth of cases. E okey lang sana kung kasing-exciting ng Game of Thrones ang nababasa mo e, kaso wala, talagang saksakan ng boring ang mga cases na kelangan mong basahin (with a few exceptions). Isang malaking drawback nito is mawawalan ka ng oras sa maraming gawain. Hindi ka na makakanood ng series araw-araw. Hindi ka na makakapag-Internet nang ganun ka-dalas. Hindi ka na makakapagsulat ng porno. Takte, kahit kantot nga minsan di mo na maiisip e. Basta, if you're all into instant gratification, you will never survive law school. Kelangan mong matutong mag-sakripisyo.

 :book1:

6. Study hard, but be smart in studying. Hindi naman kasi lahat ng cases, kelangan talagang basahin thoroughly. Hindi rin lahat ng naka-sulat sa cases, kelangang memoryahin. Once masanay ka sa pagbabasa ng cases, malalaman mo kung aling part yung importante at alin yung hinde. Also, don't forget your sleep.

 >:( >:( >:(

Yun lang naman. I hope magtagumpay tayo pareho sa law school.

(pero kung talagang naghahanap ka ng shortcut, try mo maghanap ng Ritalin or Adderall. Fair warning, though, mahirap maghanap ng mga gamot na yan, since S2 drugs sila)
