Just as quick as a swing of a pendulum, my first year in law
school is about to end.
Final exams are next week and all
of us are under immense pressure to secure our place for another year in law
school. So far, these thoughts are just preliminary of what the final exam will
eventually define. I can’t say much. The first year has pushed a curve in my study
time. I can’t imagine I have finished reading almost 3 thousand pages of text
books and countless more of cases. The study of law is hard. Not only do you
have to retain the textual character of the law, you have to absorb and
understand the principles behind it and its relationship with other laws. More
than this, you have to train your mind to think like a keen scientist obsessed
with detail, breaking down the facts of the case, uncovering the issues and applying
proper provisions of law for its resolution.
These things are just beginning
to sink in.
