Law school teaches you how to “think like a lawyer.” But what does that actually mean? It starts with learning a new language and culture. One filled with Latin phrases, bell curves, and outlines (oh my). When the hive mind swarms, how do you stay grounded in what brought you to law school in the first place? In this one, Cari and Annika unpack what it really takes to survive and maybe even enjoy learning the law. From three- to seven-step study systems and color-coded highlighters to handwritten outlines and whiteboard marathons, they break down what worked, what didn’t, and how the process shapes you long after finals are over.
This isn’t your typical “study tips” episode. It’s an honest look at how people learn and are motivated differently, how competition can warp collaboration, and how to stay grounded (and kind) in one of the most demanding professional environments there is. Also. Don't be a f*cking asshole.
