Thanks to blueprint elsana for helping me get into my dream law school

And supporting the jnel

I was thinking maybe we could go out some time no youre a dark im in last school

Oh

Boy im in laschool is a terrible pick up line

At least i dont think its a good pick up line

Is it a good pick up line

Have i wasted my life

Now youre thinking like a lawyer

Hey

Legal eagles its time to think like a lawyer

Because today we have a special tat

We are covering perhaps

The most highly requested legal movie of all time on this channel

Legally belonged ive waited so long to here you say that i have a special connection to this movie

That i was saving it for something special

And that time has arrived legal eagle has one million subscribers

Which is just incredible

A lot of laws have been broken along the way

And a lot hahatag g legal advice has been handed out

So without further due

Lets dig in to legally blond put on your pinkst to tie

This is going to be like ther youyoure except funer er your fluffiest dog

And lets get in to legally blown a plan on warning for office someday

And i fully support that one

You know that right absolutely

But the thing is if im going to be a senator by the time im thirty

I need to stop around

Yeah

So the us constitution says

That to be a senator

You have to be at least thirty years

Also he literally cannot be a senator

Before he turns thirty

The sky is kind of a dumdthem

You have have ideidea prespressure

I am under er my family has five generations of senators

Brobroers ers the top three eight year oo all

So that would be a big deal

If ones brother was nt the top three at yale law school

Alalharvard is probably the most well known law school in the country yale is continually ranked the best law school in the us

Yale sends more people to the supreme court

More people clerk for the supreme court

Neell is generally considered slightly more prestigious than harvard

Even though harvard is probably better known

So yeah

That would be a big deal

Youyou breaking up with me

Because youre a friend or family wont like me

Everybody likes me well east coast people are different

East coast people are different

Through that however lalaw three three

But at the top three school

Oh

I have a full point out

Yes

But your major is fashioned chanchandizing okay

So this is a pretty common misconception

Thats to go to w school

You need to have some prelaw major

Or you have to be a policy i major law schools in my experience really dont care that much about what youre undergrad major is because none of those majors really preare you for for ther ther laschool school

Or comcoming a practicing attorney

So the fact

That l has a degree in fashion merchandizing

Probably wont matter that much at all in fact seems like she went to a good school of same school

That her boyfriend went

So i doubt that her particular majors going to have much of an effect

Now on the other hand

It could actually help her law schools are inundated with people who have a political science degree or english majors or history majors

So if you have a degree

That is is interesting in stands out

Shows you want anto go to a particular legal specialty

Then that can actually help you get into law school

But for the most part

Your undergrade major has no effect

Whatsoever what do you back ups

I dont need backups im going to harard well then youll need excellent recommendations from your professors okay

And a heck of an emissions

I say right so that part is true

In order to apply to law school

Almost everyone uses the same online system

And in order to complete your application for most schools

You have to attach at least two letters of recommendation and using that same online system

Almost every law scall requires a personal statement

Which is an essay that youll submit to those law schools

And it belieased a one seventy five on your elsets

Yeah

So a one seventy five on the elset is a very very high score

And that is exactly the kind of score that you need to get into that school

Now the elset is judged on a score from one hundred and twenty

The bobotom m one hundred

Ninety at the hind ive no idea why a score those particular ranges

Why it doesgo from zero to one hundred

And its one hundred and twenty to one hundred eighty and youre anywhere above one hundred and seventy out of a one and eighthen youre re the ninety

Nineth percent tile of all elsset test taker

So your chances are getting into harver at that point are pretty good

Youre going to need this

Youre screnchy

My lucky scratchy

It helps me pass spampus you pass vanish because you gave professor on toy et a laackdance after the final yeah luckily

Oh

That does not age well move

Oh

Hi my name is l wood

And for my admissions

I say im going to tell all of you at harvard

Why im going to make an amazing lawyer right im sure

I dont need to tell you that its not appropriate to send a video version of your admissions

Sa in fact theres no way to upload that onto the lass school application system and if you did mail it in thed probably ththrow directly into the trash

So there is a time in a place for thinking outside of the trasks

But your admissions sa is not that time and its not that place

嗯

A neither type of opera or neither type of rappas on sale

B neither type of jazz

Neither type of opera is on sale

So what theyre hinting out here with this dialogue is a specific type of question

That actually does show up on the elset is called a logic game

And generally youre given a fact pattern with the bunch of logical variables

And you have to use logic and other tools

And find out the correct answer based on different things that happen in the fact pattern

And these are the kinds of questions

That people tend to have the hardest time with because they require problem solving mentality and certain problem solving tools that people just dont necessarily know intuitively so you have to learn that with an elsa class

And theres a whole cottage industry of people that try and teach you how to do well on the elsat

Because its such a counter intuitive test

This is actually a pretty guzine

Its showing that shes taking practice elside exams

Before she takes the actual elset and whats even better is that shes not just taking her practice exam in a deadly silent room

But shes taking it in a room with a bunch of distractions

But youre is actually a habit

That can really help in most kinds of tests

When youre taking the elside or any test for that matter

Youre not taking it under ideal circumstances

Things arent going to be perfectly silent

Which is often the way that we study for exams

But youre that we take practice exams

So youre likely to do better if you practice in an environment

That is not conducive to actually doing well a once ty nine on the elset would be an exexorordinarily high number

It basically a perfect test

It means out of the one hundred or one hundred one questions

You might miss one or maybe two questions in the entire exam

Of course this was recorded before the elsat required a written portion of the exam

As well at the time

It was all multiple choice so good job l wood thats very impressive

Of course you could have made it easier on herself by using blueprint elsset like i did no no no wait to the end

Ill tell you my story at the end of this video

Wait a second up my social events

Calendis missing social events

You know mixers

Form malls

Climbicks

Troops

The cape

Yeah

So theyre making the joke about law school

That theres a lack of social events

Because thats largely true especially in your first year of laschool one else who are first year of law students are under so much stressed

That theres really not that much time for social activity

Sometimes you do its called bar review

Which is usually on thursday night

Which is um not actually reviewing things for the bar

Youre just going to a bar to drink

So if anyone says youre going to bar review

Thats what theyre talking about that pping said as a two in three l your schedule for social up a bity

So you have more time for recreation

And there things like law school formals and dances and get togethers

And you know still more borrow you for for drinking

Because you know laschool

But thethere are actual social directors and things like that

So its

Its not crazy for her to would have assumed that there would be actual social activities

Even as a one elthis the part will will be round in a circle

And everyone says a little bit about themselves

Hey

I dont im inded waexleerg at aphd from berkeley and women studieemphasis in the history of combat and last year

I single handdly organized the march for lesbians against drand driving failer good times

Yeah

So there you have yet another person who doesnt have the standard preplelaw degree or poly side degree

Law schools love to have a diversity of thought in a diverse student bony so thats

Thats great example ple of one whos not youre run the the ddle law student

And yet yre thetheretically going to harvard a legal education means

You will learn to speak in a new language

You will be taught to achieve insight into the world around you and to sharply questioned what you know that is very true

I would say that one of most important takeways i handdfrom law school was just a dig deep to be sceptical

And to make sure that you check out all of your premises before you jump to a conclusion

So not respect

This law school professor seems to have a handle on things

Does anyone know who spoke those immortal words

Would you be willing to take your life on it

I think so what about his life uh god

I hate the style of teaching

But ive also had professors who had a similar teaching style

Um that was very aggressive

Very much about breaking the student down before building them back up again

I happened to think that this is a terrible way to be a professor

But unfortunately

This style of teaching does exist

So i can say that this repppart ity is not completely unrealistic

It has happened in front of me

Before now i assume all of you have read pages one through four forty eight and an now well vst instead project

Better jurisdiction

Who can tell us about gordon versus still

Oh my god

This res ocratic method of teaching im getting ptsd just thinking about it so in a nutshell

These so cratic method is based on soccraties who went around not so much pontificating but asking questions of his students

Until he revealed so called deeper truth through these questions that went farblow the surface

This is a style of teaching

That youll find in most law schools

That i dont know why

But law schools tend to be the last bastion of educational places that use the cratic method

Nobody seems to do its really a terrible teaching style

Number one stresses the students out

Because theyre on hot seat

And they could be pepvered with questions

That they may or may not know the answer to

But on top of it

When youre the one thats being asked those questions

Your brain tensive shut down

And you dont really remember the actually exchange change the crazy thing thing that

That most law schoodont give any classmatic points for participation

Or they do they give a very small amount for class participation

So all the stress that the secratic method causes

Doesnt actually count anything

When youre in class

Its insane in addition to competing against each other for the top grade

In this class

You will also be competing for one of my firms highly coveted four internship spots next year

Where you will get to assist on acural cases

I never heard of a full professor at harvard or any other loscgo for that matter also being a full time partner in a law firm at the same time

At least i havendnt until i reviewed how to get away with murder

Which has a similar conceat and as similarly ridanely ridiculous

Its also ridiculous to be offering internship to one of a students based on the best grade

What you will see is that a professor will give ata award to one of the highest performing students in his or her class

In other words

If you do really well in that class ass can can come back ridmesous there or the next year

And be ata for that particular class

Which is a highly coveted award in kind of a marof didistinction having a job

Your first year summer in lass schols is really important

Because when you come back from the summer

Thats

Thats you ta ato interjobs with totop w firms

So well this particular awds seems very ethically dubious

The general concept is accurate

And youre trying to compete for one else summer jobs and to get ata award and bata for a professor misonce

Would you rather have a client who committed a crime melluam insay or melliam prohibitum neither

And why is that i would rather have a client his intison

I hate using legalies and latin its economy misconception that lawyers are going around spouting latin all over the place

In reality

You really want to minimize the amount of legalities

That youre using

Because you dont want to use overly complicated words and phrases

You want to be as persusuasive as possible and really as down to earth as possible

So whether you are drafting something to a judge

Youre talking to a jury

Its actually very rare

That youre going to use obscure latin phases like this for given nonsense

This is kind of a dumb question

Whats with the costume

Oh

I just decided to dress up

Really you know

I feel like could really good to see each other

Since ve been here

Oh

I know so was your this case studies in hypose

So this is actually kind of an accurate depiction of the stuff that first year students have to go through

Youre inindaated with cases that you have to be because law uuses was called the case method um so law students tend to brief every one of those cases before class and the end of the year

When youre given your final examer in your mdterms

Youre giving what called hypoes

And hypoes refers to the type of esa questions that you tend to get on your final exam for the most part in law school

Youre re tested based on a hypothetical set of fact

Youre given a huge fact pattern

And then you have to answer all these questions like how many crimes are being committed and explain why basically so thats a little throway line

Thats accurately describing what most law students go through with come on you

You never going to get the grades to qualify fofoiggn sats and not smart

And now sweety wait

Am ii glue e did do we ck it into the same loscow corner

So shes actually making a really excellent point

And this is another common misconception about laschool

Which is that people assume that the quote and quote smartest people are the ones that youre going to get the best grades in law school

As if knowing more law and knowing more facts

Will translate into better grades at the end of the semester and in fairis that is sorof the case in college

In high school

Where memorizing things by wrote will generally result in better grades

When you gurgeate those facts back to the

But this is not the case in law school

Once you get into the same law school

All bets are off

There is no reason to assume that l would not be able to get as good greater better grades on the rest of her classmates

These kind of exams are all about application

Its about thinking like a lawyer

Wherei heard that before it would be kind like an engineering exam

Where youre not ask about formulas or about the history of engineering

Youre asked in your final exam to build a car from scratch

Thats kind of what youre doing but from illegal perspective

So often threw w up up

And the people who get the best grades are generally not who you think they are file the claim what next in this words

Dont you need to have evidmemeanmeaning

You need reasonable belief that your claims should have like evidentiary support that

That was a stupid question and a non sensical answer

I completely agree

This is not a good example of a dialogue between proprofessor and stustudent at this in this semester and the purpose subms minticapacity is the gate ment

Ment ras

夏界的晚想不过的那个

Okay

That is a reasonable question to ask assuming this is a criminlaw class

And that was a reasonable answer

Theres a concept in criminal law called mensraa

It means to be guilty of a criminal offence

And you have to have the mental capacity to have done the crime

Itself sometimes committing the same action is a crime

And sometimes its not a crime

And it depends on the mental state

So when shes saying that the diminished capacity

Dinegates mensraa

Thats sort of correct

That would mean that the affirmative defensive didiiished capacity

Might negate the mental state required to be guilty of the criminal offence

Do we know them

Im l woods misspn a ffantist attorney

Oh

No l and im here dont do that

That is bad news

Do not do that come again

Do you understand what subject matter jurisdiction is so i didnt think so well due to habbist corpus

Which means produce the body thats absolute nonsense in this context

You and miss bunne fanty had a common law marriage

Which heard to four entitles her to what is legally referred to as equitable division of the assets

Yeah

I mean thats a real phrase that gets used in divorce proceedings

But that probably doesnt apply here this is insane

Come again due to the fact that youve retained this residence

Miss this on apapantte is entitled to full kenine property ownship and well be enforcing set ownership

好的 对的

Right now

Oh Boy Okay

So what l has done here is

She has pretended to be in attourney

She hasnt finished law schols

Shes never passed the ar

And she has absolutely no right to call herself at a tourney

And when you do that

That called led unauthorized practice of law

She has held herself out as an attourney

Shes essentially committed a fraud against this other person

And as a result

Shes committed a huge ethical violation

So if anyone ever finds out that

She committed this unauthorized practice of law

While she was that harvard low school

She would probably be barred from entering the bar in virtually any state in the united states

I hate to see this both for the ethical lapse of judgment

And as just someone bullying a lay person ten people saw her downing cosma polltins at the kabbo blob

Well i know is thats not brock

Thats touching out

But we need an alibabi

Right

I think theyre confusing aliliabi with an alternate suspect in alibi

Is something that you have to show you were not the one responsible or could not have done the crime that was committed an alternate suspect

Is someone else who could have have committed this crime

And they want to have both

But they alknow no climent doesnt have an alibi

Because theygoing one to found the the body

So theygoing

Going to have

To do best

Best to come up with alternate narrative

But its important to note here that well an alibyor another suspect might be nice to have its not necessary for a criminal defendant to be acquitted you might might want to have it

But again the defence doesnt have the burden

Here they dont have to prove anything

Its the prosecution that has to prove their case beyond the reasonable that which is the highest burden in all of criminal law

We got two interviews

Tomorrow that toran an and bob

Youre going to handle the xy in an hour

According to this communicate from the prison

A client apparently had a visit from her sister

A miss delta knew how much time are these law students spending on this murder trial there in the middle of their first semester harvard law school

Harvard is not a yale

In that theyve done away with letter grades

If anything letter grades are bigger and better in harvard than anywhere else

So how are they spending hundreds of hours a week on this murder trial team as an intern well ignoring their loss coal in their law school grades

Theygoing to get terrible grades are going to fall behind in their reading

In all the rest of their classes

This is

Is not if they actually want passing grades in the classes

That they yrent in did you ever take mrs windom on a date

Yes

Where

Where cant co

When i want to recognize es and how long have you been sleeping with mrs wingdom three months

And your boyfriends name is chuck

Right

All right

Right

So this is a little ridiculous

But what this attourney has done is employ a tactic

That is actually used by actual trial attornesm that tactic is to get the witness in a habit of agreing with you

You ask a string of questions

So it does not to be a rapid fire is here

But you ask unobjectionable questions

That you know the answer to

And you know the witness is going to answer yes or no

And its only at the end after you train the witness

You

You to the question

You really care about

And then

Then its too late

And it just not to be like that a little bit sort of silence

Part of

Part of me

Part of me

I just spposs a sevatory

I was

I was confufused

You see i thought just aa friend chock is just a friend okay you in my point

Right the jujudge to to ep contcontrol over courtroom

Otherwise its prejudicial to the defendant

But what happened outside of that witness is testimony is not evidence that the jury should not be able to take that into account the defendants really

Really should call that man chuck to the stand and ask him questions about his relationship with the prior witness

But feeling there not going to do that which is basically mout practice

But that guys should be on the stand

So you can get his uh reaction to the testimony and establish the other witness has perdgered himself

I think its time to discuss your career path

Have you thought about where you might be somewhere

So sociyah

This is not good

Not really

I know its very compared tive

Oh

You know what competitions really about

Dont about what ferocity carnage balancing human intelligence with animal diligence

I dont like to focus on the animals

Knowing exactly what you want

And how far youll go together

How far will

Oh

Okay

Right

I calall it what a creeep

What a creep as weve seen en things like suits

This

This in an example of quid proco sexual harassment

Now the professor wasnt quite as explicit as the episode of suits that we reviewed

But unforcially what hes done here isnt implied that she could get a summer associtime position

And potentially take a full time position with his firm

If she agrees to his sexual harassment that is classic quid procoo sexual harassment

Its supergrowth

And i hope she sues his because that guys are jerk and all right

So now its give blown a grade for legal realism

On the one hand

There are some accurate depictions of law school studying hard for the elsand getting a good grade that would get you in and lots ts lots ts of case reading

On the other hand

Lots of legal troops

That ababsoluno sense compleplegiibish

When it comes to legal discussions and absolute malpractice in the middle of a trial

So i will give legally blond a very very gracious b minus i object 啊

On the other hand

One of the accurate things about legally bllown is that elloods studied her assaw for the elsat got a good score and got into one of the top law schools in the country

Which is a very similar story to my own in fact the guys who started blueprint elsat

Were actually my personal elsat tutors

I was actually able to raise my elsat score fifteen points by studying and learning the tricks of the trade in thats

How i was able to get into one of the top law schools in the country

Getting a good score on the elsat is by far the most important thing to stutting into a good loss

Ooooits more important than your grades

More important than your colleges

More important than extra curriculars

Blueprint helped me learn the tricks of the trade

When it came to logic games in reading comprehension

Their methods are top nodge ch

You can take live class

You can take an online class

Youll have fun while preparing for the elsa

But more importantly youre guaranteed to raise your elsa score or your money back bbluprprint elsa students raise their elsa scores by an average of online point ts in in fact blueprint students are six times more kekely to score one seventy or above then average elsa takers and blueprint has branched out not just from elsats

But to the m cat too so whether youre thinking about law school

Or youre thinking about medical school

Blueprint has you covered and legal eagles get access to a huge special discount

You get thirty three percent off of blueprints online courses

When you sign up for six months
