Everyone seems to have an opinion on this. Guess what! I do too.<\/p>\n
When I was in the second grade, I had to learn this really difficult concept. It involved taking a two-digit integer and then adding it with another two-digit integer. That’s right, I had to learn addition with numbers bigger than 10. That was tough.<\/p>\n
So, rather than listen to my teacher, I did the more obvious thing. I turned to my buddy Jesse and asked him how he did it. He told me what to do, it made sense, and I did it. The only problem was that Jesse didn’t know what he was doing either. We were both seriously wrong, and it took quite a bit of coaching from Mrs. Pearce to finally understand double-digit addition.<\/p>\n
Law school is just like that second grade math lesson. It’s new and different from things you’ve learned in the past.<\/p>\n
The way things work in law school is not all that different from how things worked back in second grade. The biggest difference is that there is way less interaction with the professors and the students. So, essentially, all you have is a bunch of new students trying to figure out how to make it work.<\/p>\n
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.<\/p>\n
Take a minute or two and think back on a time when you were forced to learn something in a way you’ve never done it before. I’ll go out on a limb here and guess that it was a struggle trying to figure it out and making it second nature. It was hard.<\/p>\n
That’s law school.<\/p>\n
