Whatever your goals, we can help you reach them. Are you just beginning your law school journey? Our Start Law School Course can help demystify the law school experience so you'll be set up for success from day one.
Join the tens of thousands of law students around the country each month who are listening to Alison and Lee (the Law School Toolbox founders) talk about about law school, the bar exam, legal careers, and life. Each week, we offer practical tips and advice on academic matters, careers, and more.

When did therapist start looking so damn good?!?! Great interview, good content and very informative.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Lee! Great information. Wish I’d found this earlier. Will start teaching my aloe plant first thing tomorrow.
We're glad to help. Hope the plant learns a lot about the bar!
Great tips.
Glad it was helpful!
I just finally decided to do Law and I found ur podcast a few weeks ago and have been listening daily. Why did you stop recording podcasts in 2018? I enjoy them.
We still put out two new podcasts weekly (one law school, one for the bar exam). You can find them here: lawschooltoolbox.com/podcast/ and here: barexamtoolbox.com/podcast/.
@@LawSchoolToolbox I had to go back and reinstall. I was only seeing the podcasts up to 2018. I see them up to a day ago now. Thanks for all u both do.
Thanks for listening!
Thank you for the lesson. It was very educational.
Glad it was helpful!
I want to go into law for advocacy or for all the people that cannot afford a $300/hr lawyer
The economics are tough if you have to borrow for law school. But it's an interesting time with AI and access to justice, where it may be possible to bring the cost down for legal services and still allow attorneys to pay back their loans!
So, what are the ACTIVE LEARNING TECHNIQUES?????
We discuss the various active learning techniques for different learning styles in the video. We also have more on our blog at barexamtoolbox.com!
Awesome to collaborate with you and talk about the most important things in the Law School Admissions Process!
Thanks again for joining us! Great info for aspiring law students here.
Great interview. As a pro se litigant, legal ai has been a tremendous help, and a simultaneous frustration. When it provides truthful information it's great. When I have to often deal with ai lies, and perpetual ai apologies, it's infuriating! I've been using Casetext @$500 per month for six months. I'm changing to Paxton ai next week @$99 per month. Using the Paxton trial, Paxton seems to be much better than Casetext and costs 80% less.
We talked to the Paxton founders a few months ago: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qWqbq8OOp9GcdKw.html. Seems like a great tool!
Thank you for this video! I needed this information. 🙏🏾
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for having me on -- it was great to speak with you and talk all things LSAT and admissions!
Our pleasure! It was a great conversation.
Is it frowned upon to send a seat deposit while you're still on the waitlist?
To a different school? I'd image that's fine, since you may or may not get off the waitlist at the school you prefer. The downside is you'll lose the seat deposit, if you do get in elsewhere and decide to switch and go there. I'm talking to Anna Ivey later this week, so I'll get her thoughts and update if they are different!
@@LawSchoolToolbox My apologies. I meant is it inappropriate to send a seat deposit to the school you’ve been waitlisted at? For example, I’m about to commit myself to an institution I’ve been waitlisted at, and along with my letter of continued interest, I enclose a cashier check containing the seat deposit amount.
I don't think you would send that until you have a confirmed spot. But that would be a question for the school.@@tramayneyoung297
I am worried about my oldest granddaughter. Top grades in high school. Got a full scholarship for Florida State Univ. She wants to be a lawyer. FSU full scholarship but no dorm for her. Her parents taking her to Tallahassee to see and talk to the college. We don't want her living off campus, but maybe must. Even so, my daughter told me even if they can get her an on-campus dorm, still about same amount as off-campus 2 thousand a month. And, again, I fear she is making a mistake to be a lawyer. She's only 18. How would she know? She gets into her 30s, I think the natural desire to be a mother will hit her. And the career itself will hit her. Despite a full scholarship at FSU, it's still a lot of money, only to be desperate to get out of the legal profession in her 30s. Any advice?
Thanks for the question! If she's just now starting college, she has plenty of time to explore her options. Law school doesn't require any particular major, so she can choose anything in undergrad (preferably something she will do well in, and learn critical thinking skills). She should also try to get some internship or summer work experience in the legal field, if she really is serious about going to law school. Better to understand from the start what is required than to be surprised later! It is definitely a demanding career path, but one that many people find rewarding.
@@LawSchoolToolbox Thank you so much you took the time to write your generous reply. Thank you.
Thanks for the videos
Glad you like them!
Great content as usual.
Much appreciated!
Really helpful info.!
Glad it was helpful!
I can speak from personal experience that many of us will appreciate the clarity on your Data Security & Privacy terms. 1. Can this be used by those not necessarily licensed to practise law, i.e individuals or Self-Represented Defendants? 2. Is Paxton AI geared more towards any specific type of law? i.e Criminal vs Civil vs Corporate vs Family Law, etc 3. Is it relevant to the Canadian legal system as well? legal datasets/databases, etc 4. Outside of Legal Research, Does Paxton AI offer suitable tools for Disclosure Analysis and Review? 5. Do you offer custom solutions, or is your software a "one-size-fits-all" tool? If so, what is a point of contact for your sales team?
These are great questions! I would probably contact [email protected] for these specifics, as I'm not sure of the answers.
Thank you, ladies, I enjoyed your presentation. I am doing my 1L year again. I enjoyed my 1st year; that California baby bar wore me out. I am hoping that California will remove the bar exam. Trying to explain the baby bar (FYLSE) was tough.
The FYLSE is indeed a beast! Thanks for watching.
Really good, I have K exam today and this is helpful
Good luck!
It is going to be amazing to see what Claude becomes.
I'm in delaware, I used my right for constructive eviction because I see landlord was neglect to fix the mold issue, I was reporting for more than 55 days and they just do minor repairs but never addressed the origin cause of the mold which was a leaking from upstairs, so after that I got a an expert tested if we have mold and the test came back positive so we moved to a hotel but we left our belongings in the unite till we get approved with other landlords, after finding a new place and after 55 days of reporting mold in unit I checked and they never fix the issue inside the walls have a black mold very visible, so I give them termination notice and stated the cause was mold in unite never fixed, and I spent 4k in expenses in hotels and other fees to move out, the landlord didn't care about my expenses and sent me a final statement to pay a 1 month penalty, how I should proceed in this case if it was you what you will do, I have pictures since day one and I have copies of our emails and communications and I have certificate from inspector saying active mold in unit
Sorry, we can't help with legal advice.
Can you use subtitles for more understanding
As we release new videos, they'll all have closed captioning. If you'd like the transcript for an earlier episode, you can find it out on our website: lawschooltoolbox.com/law-school-toolbox-podcast-complete-list/.
I wish this was more structured and focused. This is a more general discussion. A bit rambling. Some good points around accountability, scheduling, accommodations, family responsibilities. Would have loved to see a real focus on the day to day activities that keep you ahead, beyond “do the reading two days before class”, my current plan. Single tasking could have been really expanded upon.
Good point! Thanks for letting us know.
