Here is the truth I’ve lived - the large majority of attorneys will moan and groan and tell you not to go to law school. It’s the nature of the profession and you’ll hear it over and over and over. It’s not true and I’d know. Almost 22 years of experience now. You do not have to be a trial lawyer or even a lawyer at all with a law degree. In my opinion, it’s far more valuable than an MBA or most master’s degrees (absent specialties like engineering, medicine). I know plenty of people who never practiced law a day in their lives and have incredibly successful careers. I’d suggest you ignore the naysayers if it’s something you’re interested in pursuing. Be very careful about your debt though. It’s worse than ever and something not talked about enough.

I don’t think the 30-50% statistic is really accurate. Julian Sarafian seems to think that only 5% of associates actually remain in big law across the board. I’m not sure where he got that statistic from, but I think it’s undoubtedly true in regards to the V10 firms. There, your chances of making EP are similar to your chances of winning the lottery. In 2011, 47 Harvard law grads became partners. In 2006, Harvard sent 338 graduates to big law firms. So, only 15 percent of Harvard grads became partners, while an even lower number became equity partners. Essentially, being an equity partner is like winning the lottery in terms of your odds. To me, it would sting like hell to do everything right, get into HYSCCN, ace the LSAT, ace your classes, and survive until your sixth, seventh, or eighth year only to be told that your efforts meant very little.
@AngelaVorpahl4 күн бұрын
I definitely hear you, and I think you're right! That statistic is way smaller, especially now as equity partnership numbers shrink. I completely hear you on the disappointment of working towards something that ultimately doesn't happen, but all of those years of work will definitely not be for nothing. You can always try for partnership at a smaller or more regional law firm, or take the client relationships that you've built up over the years and start your own law firm. :)

Can you do a video on being more efficient? I was extremely detail oriented at my prior firm (1st year associate, M&A), tried my hardest not to make mistakes, and turned in good work product. One of the criticisms I received was that I was “inefficient” and took too long to do certain tasks (from my end, I think it was because I spent a lot of time double and triple checking to make sure there no mistakes). Also, I tended to ask more questions rather than less because (1) I didn’t want to wing it and do something completely wrong (avoiding the need for the senior to fix my error); and (2) didn’t want to take forever hunting around and looking around for something if I could ask a Q and have someone point out where it was to me. Some people seemed to like this (and would often hop on the phone when giving me assignments and we’d talk through the document, discussing what we wanted to do for certain portions because neither of us knew 100% what the right move was and decisions had to be made), others hated it (because they were busy and didn’t have the time). Couldn’t figure out how to differentiate between these kinds of people beforehand. Last thing, how do you appear to want to add value and be hungry to contribute more fully without coming off as entitled? I’ve heard that as a junior you need to fight for substantive work to show you’re a go getter, but at the same time, it’s very easy for that to come off as “entitled” and like you’re “too good” for the lower level task.

Just as a reminder. The population in most western countries overall is getting older and older by proxy mostly due to the advancements of modern medicine and the declining birth rates in western countries. The fact is that more mature ppl will have to work on and so it is very realistic to assume it’s a natural consequence that we as more mature folks ( I’m a 46 year old female w/prior college degrees, speaking more than 3 languages fluent, living in the US making my money working in a second career as a manual therapist, ( despite my prior college degrees which I have not earned close to equivalent to my last earned associates degree in my mid thirties…) OF COURSE we are capable, of course we would bring so much to the table…however…unless the ‘culture’ changes, likely it’s gonna be significantly harder, if not mostly impossible. Law is the culture around law not being anymore a pure altruistic sense made career. The house of law is not a place of justice. When societies and systems are not build upon true values of truth and justice to bring to its ppl ( regardless of $$$) than what is a law worth at all? If a society does not form upon significant values agreed upon than the writing of any law is doomed to begin with. And no law can take place in any society that does not follow the first law of all. Which are base pillars of sense and order. We we are ready to face reality than things can progress, rehabilitate. However just as in any common space of society…health care, housing, education, foreign and domestic politics…the US has really nothing to show for itself. Mind you Americans who do not regularly travel around the world wouldn’t have a single insight… The ‘American Dream’ was and is a generated ‘Fantasia’…and if the States were all that empire like thing then let me assure you to state the facts of history. Most empires did not last loooong. And ALL empires fell. They did thrive at it’s peak but always came from extortion and greed, build on compromising any natural and logical senses, innate to us humans, we could do different, BUT…somehow we are stuck just repeating the same story over and over. Doomed and dooming all and everything around us. I don’t long for a god, a higher anything to get out of my own self. I don’t matter and yet we all matter. Collectively we do harm. Most to one another. But on the greater scale we truly mess up this planet. And along us we seem to ruin anything amongst. Most times I want us to solve the problem. But even more times I come to understand we ARE our own biggest enemy and dragging everything down with us. It must have been a great divergence when the evolution of the homo Homo sapiens started at the same time the Blue planet erupted out of the universe. May it be fait or may it be faith, in the end we must as humans go away and not exist anymore to save this planet. Everything in nature is connected is inadvertently necessary to give room and space and nourishment to most anything else. Except us. We are perpetuate in self destructing and along ( based off of delusions) destroying the very environment that gave us life. It’s on every level bewildering. Why even have a brain so big and a conscience and a soul and mind and heart and understanding so much, when at the same time being your own cause of total destruction? May the force be with us fallible humans, as I know most any one single person is not bad. We do what we do. Again and again. Over and over. But as a whole we are showing up looking STUPID. Like we can even wrap our ‘perceiving minds’ around the least simple concepts of self preservation. It’s NOT greed. It’s NOT war. That ever answer to our forthcoming short comings. Certainly also isn’t any story of the Kumbaja version. Ya’ll behold yourself, try to be chill and at any cost control your emotions and know that thinking isn’t knowing.

LLM degree is a terrible idea for foreign applicants who want to study for the bar exam. Constitutional, Evidence, Ethics, Civil and Criminal procedures; state and federal are not studied on LLM program. This is your basic, basic, basic subjects --- MBE SUBJECTS. LLM does not help writing those long essay questions in 45 min or 30 min depending on the state. LLM degree is not helpful to issue spot nor does it teach you IRAC or legal memo for bar exam purposes. LLM is not going to help you pass the bar exam. Example, UCLA LLM program is on entertainment law, interntional law, human rights law, tax law --- none of those subjects are part of the bar exam and everyone knows this --- it's an open secret. If on the other hand, the student does not have the intention to take the bar exam then it is a very good idea to study LLM degree on entertainment law, who knows, maybe you can represent Taylor Swift or some other celebrity in your home country.

For anyone out there. I went to two law schools and I can tell you what’s an A+ answer in one law school maybe a B+ in another. A B+ answer does not mean you don’t have an excellent answer, you just don’t have the excellent answer FOR THAT SCHOOL. Each professor looks for different things and each law school may have a different culture this affects how your answers are received.

@AngelaVorpahlАй бұрын
Hi! I love this question because it means you're thinking very intentionally about your decision to pursue law school, and that's fantastic. I'm not a law school admissions expert, but what law schools are going to be most interested in is your personal narrative for the decisions you've made, the reasons you've made them, and how that connects to your desire to pursue law school. So my sense is that starting your bachelor's degree later in life is not a bad thing or a good thing, it's simply an opportunity for you to narrate why law school and why now at this point in your life, and connect the thread for the other decisions that have affected those aspects in your life up to this point. :)

It must have been a great divergence when the evolution of the homo Homo sapiens started at the same time the Blue planet erupted out of the universe. May it be fait or may it be faith, in the end we must as humans go away and not exist anymore to save this planet. Everything in nature is connected is inadvertently necessary to give room and space and nourishment to most anything else. Except us. We are perpetuate in self destructing and along ( based off of delusions) destroying the very environment that gave us life. It’s on every level bewildering. Why even have a brain so big and a conscience and a soul and mind and heart and understanding so much, when at the same time being your own cause of total destruction? May the force be with us fallible humans, as I know most any one single person is not bad. We do what we do. Again and again. Over and over. But as a whole we are showing up looking STUPID. Like we can even wrap our ‘perceiving minds’ around the least simple concepts of self preservation. It’s NOT greed. It’s NOT war. That ever answer to our forthcoming short comings. Certainly also isn’t any story of the Kumbaja version. Ya’ll behold yourself, try to be chill and at any cost control your emotions and know that thinking isn’t knowing.
Not the weird or surprised face thumbnail?.Does everyone use the same SM management company?

Pepsi can definitely afford the Harrier, they owe the man a jet!!!
I relate to this so much. Thank you for sharing your experience.
My pleasure! I'm so happy to hear that the video resonated with you. 💛
whyd i watch this i am a plumber lol
😆
Software engineer fresh out of collage makes more than that...
hi @Angelavorpahi ! In my law school interview, theyll also give us a situation & we have to tell em what we would do to solve it out. why is no one talking about that
Oooh that would be a great question to do a video about! What situation did they ask you to solve in the interview?
@AngelaVorpahl fortunately, they didnt 🎀
Thank you so much ma. this was extremely insightful
I'm so glad to hear the video was helpful! If you haven't grabbed it yet, would you like the link to download the "Best Questions to Ask in Law Firm Interviews" free guide? I used those questions in allll my law firm interviews. :)
LLM degree is a terrible idea for foreign applicants who want to study for the bar exam. Constitutional, Evidence, Ethics, Civil and Criminal procedures; state and federal are not studied on LLM program. This is your basic, basic, basic subjects --- MBE SUBJECTS. LLM does not help writing those long essay questions in 45 min or 30 min depending on the state. LLM degree is not helpful to issue spot nor does it teach you IRAC or legal memo for bar exam purposes. LLM is not going to help you pass the bar exam. Example, UCLA LLM program is on entertainment law, interntional law, human rights law, tax law --- none of those subjects are part of the bar exam and everyone knows this --- it's an open secret. If on the other hand, the student does not have the intention to take the bar exam then it is a very good idea to study LLM degree on entertainment law, who knows, maybe you can represent Taylor Swift or some other celebrity in your home country.
these are basically writing tips generally. still useful though
I'm so glad the video was helpful!
What about the doctrine of Unilateral Contracts?
I was thinking los angeles but new york is good too

Do you recommend pre 1L barbri prep?
I'm not familiar enough with BarBri's 1L prep program to be able to recommend it specifically, but I'm definitely a fan of taking steps to prepare yourself for 1L year before you start so that you can have a rock solid gameplan going in to be able to hit the ground running on day one of class. I'm actually a coach for incoming 1Ls, and I specialize in helping you guys master these 1L grade strategy steps to position yourself for the 1L grades you're totally capable of. I'm giving my free 1L Masterclass next month (to talk through the 3 "must haves" for a killer 1L grades strategy), would you like the link to reserve your spot?
@@AngelaVorpahl definitely!
@@user-kz2il2hz4z Great! Here's the link to reserve your spot in the free training: www.1lmasterclass.com Looking forward to it!
@@AngelaVorpahl thank you!
For anyone out there. I went to two law schools and I can tell you what’s an A+ answer in one law school maybe a B+ in another. A B+ answer does not mean you don’t have an excellent answer, you just don’t have the excellent answer FOR THAT SCHOOL. Each professor looks for different things and each law school may have a different culture this affects how your answers are received.
i think that if you want to go to law school you should become a paralegal first.
I’m 26 years old, currently getting my bachelors I’ll finish when I’m 28. I’ll apply to law school then. Will the fact that I waited later to get my bachelors but going to apply to law school right after negatively impact Me?
Hi! I love this question because it means you're thinking very intentionally about your decision to pursue law school, and that's fantastic. I'm not a law school admissions expert, but what law schools are going to be most interested in is your personal narrative for the decisions you've made, the reasons you've made them, and how that connects to your desire to pursue law school. So my sense is that starting your bachelor's degree later in life is not a bad thing or a good thing, it's simply an opportunity for you to narrate why law school and why now at this point in your life, and connect the thread for the other decisions that have affected those aspects in your life up to this point. :)
He can't fly it though right?
Sure, but some restrictions apply: 4 year college degree. DOD security clearance w/no felony convictions. 6 year (min) service w/USMC. Successful completion of tactical aviation flight school, including instrumental/multi jet engine/airborne weapons ratings. Plus: USAF/JSOC SERE (survival evasion resistance escape) school.
Hii mam I'm law student from India (LLB) I want to come us for LLM study Plz guide me
Hi Vishal, check out my video on "how to practice law in the U.S. as an international student," it will point you in the right direction!
Cool video Angela. I'm starting 1L in August and I agree with everything you are saying. I'm actually quite relaxed to be honest. Could not stress enough how prepping is imperative.
That's so exciting! Congratulations! 1L year is a wild ride for sure, but it's pretty amazing to raise the bar on what you think you're capable of. I actually run a free FB group for new and aspiring law students looking for clarity and support in their law school journey, and it can be a great place to reach out to connect with other people starting (and currently going through) law school - would you like the link to join?
@AngelaVorpahl Yeah sounds good. Would love to join.
@@jrivera12 Great! Here's the link to join: facebook.com/share/mDcamxECkGAyRR7S/?mibextid=A7sQZp See you inside! 🙌
Thank you for the video! I'm currently in a 10-month language program with a similar approach to "learning" (meaning, give you more work than you can possibly do and put you through intense stress and embarrassment during class), and I had been hoping to go to law school sometime soon. But after this experience, I'm starting to worry that I can't survive three years straight of this 😂
Hi Evelyn! Law school is a lot, that's for sure. But it really is only a means to an end. If practicing law is something you think you might like to build a career doing, it can definitely be worth it. :) I actually run a free FB group for new and aspiring law students looking for clarity and support in their law school journey, and it can be a great place to reach out to people going through the process now and post questions or ask about their experience - would you like the link to join?
Thanks so much for this! extremely insightful
I'm a criminal justice major who wants to go to law school. Thank you for your time!
